Thread: New toys!

    Talking New toys!



    Just received!

    15x7, +43, Forged, 11.2lbs. WedsSport TC-105N's, got them used in perfect shape! Not a bad deal, either.

    Yes, they fit over the Sport brakes (already test-fit) with about 3/4" to spare.

    Now I need to decide on tires. Any suggestions for a DD that will see some Auto-X use?

    They look bronze in that pic, but they are more than halfway to the Ti color on the car in reality.

    In any case, they look GOOD on the car!

    Great looking wheel!

    There are so many good options in 15" for the Miata.

    The Yoko AD08, B-stone RE11, Hankook RS3, and the Kumho XS. We're running the XS on jrj512's STS car and we've been very impressed with it. From the look of the tread patterns, I would guess that eh AD08 and RS3 might be better in the rain.

    As in 15x7?

    Because they are light, I got a good price, and 15x8 pretty much locks me in to 6UL's or big money wheels.

    Thanks for bringing your wheels by for mounting and balancing, I'd like to see the wheels on the car.

    I'll have pictures up tonight.

    Thanks a ton to the guys at Pro Tuning! They were quick, gave me a great price on the Kunho XS's, and were in general a great bunch of guys!

    Highly recommended!

    Those are cheaper than 6ULs?

    Now that you have two sets of wheels why not just a get a cheap street set of tires and a set of slicks?

    Well, the only ones that would fit good slick-type tires and be worth it are the 15's, and those were bought as street wheels.



    Here's what it looks like! Dirty, but that will get taken care of this weekend.
