Current set up is 205/45/17. and stock.

Looking to up this to 235(Or 245)/40/18 with a 1.5" drop. What wheel ya'll like the best? I like the third set a lot, Matte Black with a polished lip.. You never see bronze wheels, so that might be pretty hot!











Car is an '08 MX5 white/tan

 

I love white w/bronze, so I'd say option 1.

 

Those do look pretty good....those were the first ones that caught my attention.

 

Are they Tenzo Rs?

 

The bronze wheels are 5Zigen ZR's. Both Black sets are Tenzo's.

 

I like the third design, the one with polished trim.

 

I like the first and fourth.

 

+1

 

#1

 

+1

 

The first, the last two look too much like bmws m package wheels.

 

depends on what color your car is, but i like # 1 & 3. 1 for a white car, 3 for a black

 

+2 I like the first and fourth as well.

 

4th one....but i'd get the Enkei RPF1's...

 

Definitely the first one!

 

just get some rotas

 

Fixed.

 

anything but the second ones.

 

i think this calls for photoshops
post the names of the wheels.

 

Ive got some chops at home ill post up around 330.

I think the last 2 are Tenzo R's, and the top one is the 5Zigen ZR

 

well, one thing for sure... #2 is OUT

 

I love the look of the Tenzo Type M wheel.

That wheel was one of the wheels I was choosing between for my teggy just recently; however, in the end I decided not to go with a Tenzo wheel because I was worried about build quality. I don't know anyone that has put Tenzo wheels on their car so I couldn't get any first hand experiences. And to top it off, most of the searches I did on the net spoke of their poor quality, not the good.

You can see my wheel selection thread as well as what wheels I finally went with here:

4th wheel

 

This is a Mazda MX-5 ...

Why are you going 235s on a Miata? I'd go the lightest, strongest 17s that I could afford.

 

first one. I like the style on the 4th one, but TenzoR are crap.

 

16's would be better suited for a Miata IMO.

 

i hear ya...

The 18" 5Zigens are lighter than the stock 17's by more than 5lbs each. AND.....there are members running 205's all the way to 285's, I figured 235 would be a good median.

I would like a bigger rim to fill the wheel gap, plus a little extra sticky wouldnt be that bad

Im not going to autoX it...just have a little fun on the twisties every now and then.

 

first wheel

 

first one, by far.

 

1st one it is!

 

Quicky..

 

The new MX-5s are too "slab-sided" for 16s IMO. But for the older ones, I agree.

I still think 235/X/18s are way too big. I don't run tires that wide on my Mazdaspeed3.

 

First and fourth by a mile

 

225 does look pretty good....

Here are some 225/40/18's



...and the 285's

 

Those wheels look sick!

And the size of those wheels tires makes that car look mean!

 

I really like the Tenzo's but I keep reading negative things about them. Are they really not that good?

 

Same here, that's why I played it safe and didn't go with them.

 

^^ Yea dude...sick looking wheels, for cheap....but they are teh suck.

 

^^

 

i would look long and hard for a set of ekei's like that.
