He drives a civic, not a miata.

Sorry for bringing this back from a few months back... they make them for Civic's in the proper, or near proper, offset as well, check the site quick.

Did you make a decision on the wheel choice Harwood?

those 6UL's in black are pretty sexy.... I wonder how they compare to rota auto-x's tho. im really leanign towards those wheels. But i just dont know how strong the auto-x's are and cant find a weight!!

Holden, the 6UL's will annihilate the rota's on all counts.
This guy [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JauiBQ5p7ks"]Sonny[/ame] traded out his 16x7 SSR Comp C's for a set of 15x8 6UL's then got a set of 15x9's. The video is of Sonny, Emilio, and another Miata member. Emilio is the owner of 949 racing, and designed those wheels himself for the Miata as a track wheel. It also fits the wilwood kit for Miata's. As you can see, it was adapted to fit other vehicles too. Anyway, it kicks ass, is light, and again, you can run big tires. I think on the civic your stuck at 205-225, but still a good size.

Oh, Well, Anyway, Give Emilio at 949 a call, he's a smart man and fun to talk to, and knows his stuff.
If you want to know what these wheels can handle, Here is Sonny's youtube profile with his modlist. That car is sickeningly fast.

Lastly, what IS all done to your car, do you have a thread?

The heliums are nice, but a little erm, flimsy? If you are looking for some check out Clubroadster.net classifieds, Miataturbo.net classifieds, and if u find something you like and don't want to register hit me up and I could.

But for the end all be all solution, Most Miata owners (4x100 w/ +38offset) Love these things:

The 6UL is a sharp design, strong, light, and can be as wide as 9's, and run around 245-255 tires.

Also, for the weight deal, my Mazda-speed M weight 2450 w/o driver and full on gas. Have you stripped trunk, speakers, extra seats, yet? Thats 100lbs or so right there.
