  • I painted my Miata wheels today what do you think??

    I didnt want to leave them stock (silver like every othe stock Miata wheel) so I experimented and I think they turned out pretty cool what do you guys think. One pic with and one without cap.

    I used a rattle can. They are $.94 at Walmart. Now I just need to buy my tires. Im going to buy the Falken ZE 512 tires in a 175/65/14 I think. I can get a set on E-Bay for $196 shipped. Any comments on these tires would be helpfull. I thought about 185/65/14 but dont want rubbing. My car has an Aspire swap with Aspire springs (cut 1 1/2 links) and Aspire struts using an Aspire auto brake booster and master. Do you guys think I could run the 185's? I dont mind a little rubbing buy I dont want to kill a new set of tires in a month or so by cutting the sidewall.

      185/65/14 will rub, I know they did on mine....I think most guys use 195/45/14? i know i would have but cant get them in OZ

        185/60-14s would be a better choice than 185/65s. They may still rub though. Right now I'm running 175/70-13s and I'm getting some rubbing in the back on bumps. I have one coil cut from my Aspire springs on Aspire rear shocks.

        In order to solve my rear rubbing problem on Luxstiva, I will be installing uncut Aspire (junkyard) or heavy duty Festiva rear springs from FMS.

            Yea I like gun metal but my car will soon be black and I wanted black wheels. In the words of Rob & Big it will be "Murdered Out"
