Despite the less than ideal wheel width it has been proven that the 225/50/14 will outrun the 205/55/14 on the Miata on an auto-x course. 2007's ES winner at nationals was a Miata using this setup.

They're mounted and ready for April's event. I got them done thanks to Nick's suggestion to take them to his shop http://www.genuinesaab.com. They were definitely a stretch but should be really fun to drive on. Thanks for everyone's help and suggestions. http://img386.imageshack.us/img386/931/dsc002...

Well no luck getting them mounted. I went to three shops and none had the proper equipment to shoehorn a 225's onto a 6" wheel. Two shops attempted to mount them but couldn't. Looks like I'll be running streets tomorrow.

Where do the Miata people get their's done?

Mounting R-comps

Does anybody know of or have any connections that would allow me to get my 225/50/14 Kuhmo 710's mounted to some 14X6's tomorrow, Saturday the 7th?

So I see you and Asher are both selling your cars. What are you guys going to move into? To anyone looking, I can personally say this is a VERY nice M3. Kerry was kind enough to let me drive it back when it was in BS trim at a divisional event. It's very clean, well maintained, and has the rare Mulb...

WTB: Stock Miata wheels

I am looking for an extra set of wheels for my Miata. They must be 14X6. My first choice are the 14X6 BBS wheels that were on some Miatas like the '93 LE. They look like this: http://www.jason-parker.net/images/wheels/93%20SE%20BBS%20wheel%202.jpg My second choice is the stock 14X6 seven spoke wheel...

Close out? My 245/45/17's V710's are almost $50 more a piece than they were last year. :shock: Hoosier's went up in price too. I'm probably going to go with a 235/40/17 RA-1 as my next tire. 245/45/17 is a little too tall for my car anyway.
