    Thanks for all the comments guys! I was really happy with how it turned out.

    It's funny how much the car pulls all over the place with the 225 tires and a little toe out up front. Just got an alignment yesterday and between that and the great balancing job BAM! did, the car drives great!

    I'd blame that more on the toe out than the tires. A little toe out quickens turn in, but it does make a car prone to bumpsteer, especially a lowered Miata.

    I'd agree, but I've been running toe out for a while now.

    For those who interested to see the wheel in Silver, here are some pictures from my 94.

    The last picture is a comparsion between the 205 RT615 on 6UL and 195 T1-S on factory 14" 7 spokes.

    Looks great! The machined lip looks really good. I can't wait to see them in person!

    I'm sure you're going to love the grip of the new tires too.

    I would love to get a chance to see these in person some day. That is the color combo I am leaning towards for my car. Are you planning on making it out to one of the Wednesday meets? I saw Thomas’s last weeks and it is sure making the decision hard.

    Flyin96M, I am not sure when I'll be making it out to the Wed meets. But I work in Irving and live in Plano. We could arrange something to meet up.
