Heck, for half of the half of the half you were going to peddle them off to poor sammm, I'll take them off your hands and put them on my '99. Wouldn't you just love to see those 14" wheels on a NB?

Here's a shot of my favorite BBS wheels.... mine!
17" RX's.... love them!
And no, sammm, you can't have them!
If Rota really does decide to come out with 15" RBs (Panasport lookalikes), I'm thinking a set of those with a black or gunmetal center and polished lip would look sweet on both the POS Racer and I.M. Vivid's car.Originally Posted by POS Racing
What I need to find is a nice 15" wheel I could use on either the POS or Vivid! Now that would be sweet!
I'd like a set with gold centers myself. :afro:

Sorry.... here's the updated photo! I had that silly windshield sticker for a club show last year....
Clean and debadged is the only way to go!
And I'm done showing off...
well...
ok....
I'm done.
Of course, seeing as how Treibenschnell has already removed the OEM airbag steering wheel (a technical no-no in SCCA Stock classes
Seeing as how I bought it like that... I'll have to find a stock steering wheel now!:P
Keep the wheel, stay in stock. Unless you are SUPER DUPER competetive, ad/or go to Nationals no one should hassle you about it.
It's not like you have a turbo hiding under the hood.

Lightness? What's that? I drive a PRHT!
18's!! Get any rubbing?
I had some 17's that would occasionally rub at stock height.

What POS forgot to mention is that I want a nice set of Chrome wheels for Vivid.If Rota really does decide to come out with 15" RBs (Panasport lookalikes), I'm thinking a set of those with a black or gunmetal center and polished lip would look sweet on both the POS Racer and I.M.

That would work out perfectly! POS sells me a set of his collection of BBS's, puts your wheels on the 92C and buys you what you want! What more could you ask for?!?!?!What POS forgot to mention is that I want a nice set of Chrome wheels for Vivid.If Rota really does decide to come out with 15" RBs (Panasport lookalikes), I'm thinking a set of those with a black or gunmetal center and polished lip would look sweet on both the POS Racer and I.M.

No rubbing yet with the 18's...
Plenty of clearance on the fender with the 215 size tire

Wow, I was thinking of bidding on these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=43955 when they were $100, but its getting crazy now.
Did you see these Joe ?

Those look rough...and heavy. Good thing is that I don't NEED wheels.
By the way, for those looking for alternate, E/C Stock legal wheels, Jon W informed me of these TSW Razors today. They're available in 14"x5.5" and 15"x6" sizes - you heard me right, they're available in OEM Miata sizes... and at a pretty decent price, too.
You E Stockers might really want to check them out - $90 each in your size ($131 each in 15"x6" size, unfortunately, which is about what the OEMs go for through Mazdacomp). They aren't that bad looking, although I haven't got a clue what they weigh. Anyway, just FYI.
Edit: Whoops, looks like the offset might be too shallow for them to be legal in E Stock (+35mm). Isn't the OEM offset +45 on the older cars?

Yes, the offset of the NA OEM wheels is 45. (We prefer classic, not older!
I tried to look - mostly curiosity since I have a hookup through the antithesis of TCB and only buy my wobble wheels locally.
Using the link posted here, all I got was a HackerSafe commercial.
I have a lead on a very nice set of 14" OEM BBS's with caps and wrench for $750.
Accepting all thoughts/comments/bashing now. (BTW, those would be almost 4 lbs. lighter per wheel than the ones I'm currently running.)
