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.

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:

The car looks great with those mini wheels. IMO, any of the Mini wheels would compliment the car.

I need a set... Gorilla nakes them? I think our local shop might have Gorilla brand but not Jegs.
Top pic is Jegs and bottom is Gorilla?

Correct. Jegs is a supplier, the manufacturer of the Jegs ones is actually Detroit Wheels.

The flare being wider than the flats on the Jegs ones makes a better fit than the gorilla ones.
