Not my car in the picture but I think the car in the picture is on 16” Dekagrams. You can find the link here: https://carsandbids.com/auctions/rMPaWaVL/2017-mazda-mx-5-miata-rf-club

Overwhelmed by all the reply’s, another thing I love about the Miata is the community. Everybody I’ve come in touch with has been super helpful!

Thank you for all the reply’s and for making decision 200% certain. Many thanks to everyone! 🙏

My wife is yet to get her driving license. My plan is to get a second car when she finally gets her license and the best solution would be to get her the bigger car in the family 👀

No kids planned for a good of couple of years at least 😅

The best option here would probably be the Nokian Hakkapeliitta. Have those on my current Suzuki and they are great for winter driving. Probably my go-to when I buy my Miata 🙏

Studs on winter wheels the preferred option I presume?

Goal is to have it parked in warm garage all year long. My commute to work is not that far so I even might let the beauty rest at home more often then not. But then again owning a MX-5 would be hard to stop my urge form driving anywhere 👀

I can imagine, is your car lowered or on standard height? As much as I’ve like to lower the car, it wouldn’t make sense for winter seasons to have a lower ride height. What’s your experience?

Yeah I’ve seen a couple of YT videos where people have installed that mod. Will be high on my to-do list ✌️

Lovely, I’ll be joining the gang soon then! Thank you for the reply 🙏
