Something like that... yeah...

In other words, don't expect a high price to be paid by a member of this site... hence the reason I suggested the

(pointy) board - Miata.net.

"Fair" price on used wheels has always been <50% of new in my book (and I'm a good opinion here since they won't fit over my brakes).

New ones are $115-ish each from Mazdaspeed, a bit more from the dealer, so somewhere betwen $55 and $90.

Its not the number of upgrades, but the price you pay for them. On my car, I got the intake off ebay, the header used for $150 instead of 400. The midpipe I got used, the roll bar I got with free shipping. The shocks off of ebay and the springs are used.
