ladies and gentlemen, for your viewing pleasure...

my first gen RS 1.3 ex-Japan, now dubbed "The Mushroom"by my 10-year olds. It had 16" Artecs +35 offset, which looked ok but rubbed badly. I hunted around and found these Mak Rave 16x7s, +39, 2nd-hand, for not too much. Tyres are Hankook Ventus 205/40. Suspension is lowered but I have no idea how much by. Still rubs a little so will need front guards rolled. Hope you like it! Mike

define cheap? but there was a link to a miata store that sold a bunch of them somehwere. our cars can fit their wheels. Konig Helium's are a very popular choice for light wheels. Anywhere that sells tires is a decent place. I got mine at the dealership, but any decent size chain or mechanic you trust will work.

Before and after shots of PnutKar. Wheels are from a Mini Cooper, 42mm offset using Gorilla E/T Conical lug nuts (BMW uses studs on the Cooper). Removed the Mini logo from the center caps with a heat gun. The Toyota logo from the hubcaps would not fit within the center caps so I left them blank. Tires are Michelin Harmony, stock 185/60R15. Contemplated 195 and 205 but cost, wear, and warranty are an issue. It is my humble opinion that these wheels look very good on the car - they complement the "roundy" look nicely. Now it needs some "squat".

You mean, they use bolts. We use studs. They use bolts.

I run a set of the same Mini rims as my Winter rims. Their lug bolts are larger diameter than our studs and the hub is 2mm wider. If you aren't running hubcentric rings (I couldn't find ones to fit), you should use lug nuts that make the wheels lugcentric. I am using lugcentric bulge conical lug nuts that I found at Jegs that have the correct taper and have a part below the taper that fills the space between our studs and the wheel:

Yes, we don't want wobbly wheels do we? I used these lug nuts from Gorilla. They look similar to the Jegs nuts, but not as "bulgey". I like the Jegs better. I'll have to get some.

So wait a second, you have 235 wide tires?? Don't you get serious rubbing?
I don't recall ever seeing anyone with that width.
