Did you get your speedo recalibrated? I cant imagine you were able to maintain the same wheel + tire diameter...plus those tires really fill out the wells. I really love the look.

Depending on what tire he got, they are almost the exact same size. The miata tire calculator says they are less than 1% different in size.


I hate to say it, but those 19s actually look good on this car. They look terrible on the older models.

Forgeline wheels are great. I did a track day last year that was organized by Forgeline - great group of people. Super nice wheels.
