    Default Hypotetically Speaking 15" vs 16" OEM Wheels

    Lets say I came across a "steal" on a set of 16" Miata OEM 5 spoke wheels.


    How much more would they weight than a 15" combo?

    01-'03 5-spoke alloy 16" x 6.5" 40 15.5 lb.
    '99-2002 Sport 5-spoke alloy 15" x 6" 40 13.1 lb.

    But personally I much preffer the look of the 99 15" wheels.
