    Default Brig wheels?....

    Anybody fimiliar with these wheels? They are geared towards the 'tuner' crowd, but they manufacture a couple wheels that look like Konig Heliums- at 9-10 lbs.

    There are a couple of threads on the board about those wheels right now. Other than that, I don't have anything useful to offer this thread.

    Not bad for forged wheels. Especially pretty forged wheels.

    One comment - for less than $650 you could pick up a set of Kosei K1-TS, which are half an inch wider and about the same weight.

    Although I agree that the Brig wheels look nicer in the link. I'd like to see what a set looks like "in real life", though.

    Or, for $360, you could buy a set of Heliums...

    That's the direction I am most likely headed in. I know, they're almost cliche on a Miata but you can't beat them for price, size, and weight.

    I agree. Now, what color wheel for my mica emerald? silver- eh(everybody has silver). white?- maybe..., bronze..probably.

    You're right. Can't beat the price of the Heliums.

    I'll really look forward to seeing the bronze on you car if you get them... I don't think they're an option for me post-stripe, but I think they'll look good.

    BTW, who is selling the Heliums for $360? Got a link?

    I need a macro for this...

    Al Cavan

    (972) 423-6045

    If you want the good pricing, you *must* ask for Al. He generally doesn't require a deposit for folks mentioning affiliation with the Miata club.

    I really dig bronze wheels on Miatas with the tan leather and top. Nice color combination. shuhart1's car looks amazing with the tan top and those bronze Volks. Mmmmm....

    White wheels are sooooo late '90s. :P

    Well the last time I saw his car, it still had a tan top and a primarily tan interior, although he did have the Sparco Roadsters in it. :P
