No flasy colors,,Either black or silver..Post pics if possible.. And please don't post the damn teddybear wheels..

Thanks..

... and then steal them. I had Slipstreams stolen off my EJ8 three years ago.

I used to be in this situation. I had a set of old TSW EVOs. They had curb rash, they were nasty, but they looked better than 14" steelies and they had new tires on them (Oh and they were $200 w/tires).

Keep an eye out for used wheels, maybe with some curb rash. However, you probably won't find lightweight wheels that people won't want to steel.

Yeah Ive been keeping an eye out on used wheels..They're all to big or to flashy..Or just heavey

I was thinking about maybe the optionals from a delsol or integra..They're ugly as hell..But I dont know how much they weight..

These are what Im reffering to..

Thats exactly what I was thinking but the autolock wont fit through the hub caps..And miata wheels are to nice..They look to much like panasports,They'll get took quick..

According to this, all 14" miata wheels weigh in between 10 and 13 lbs...mostly around 11, which isnt bad at all.

I dont know if they'll clear teggy brakes though...but good luck

Hey thanks alot for the help..I guess I can always just make them fit..Im sure some spacers or alittle grinding off the caliper will do it..They're pretty light to so I guess those are the wheels for me..
