    I bet it's the balancing of the tires. Go to miata.net and do a search for the 65mph-shimmy. I had it with 2 different sets of tires. If you want you can try my 14" BBS' with ES 100's just to compare, they're off the car.

    Well i got into an accident. and went over a curb backwards at about 40/50mph, and the guy who did the alignment and replaced the left inner tie rod said there is a pretty signifigant flat spot on the rim. It was fine before the curb bouncing. but yeah i was hoping to come to a tech day and try out a different rim.
    thanks sharpie i will let you know

    If it isn't cracked just use a big ass deadblow hammer and make it round again and have it rebalanced... should get you by until you can buy a spare BBS off of eBay or a junkyard. Then you can get that one really fixed and have a spare incase you decide to do that again.

    Not really for sale, just commenting on the fact that I would trade them for some scuffed up BBS's if one would choose to do so...
