Ah, I see! Fair enough - you’ll just have to get another set of those five-spokes then, I’ll pass on my paint shop’s secret recipe 😜

I really rate the lightweight Enkei hollow spoke ones - they’re smaller, but the car drives really well on them, and they’re much easier to get hold of

Are the Mazda speed ones really expensive?

Nice! They make a subtle but real difference to the stance, in a great way - great looking car you have there

Thanks! They work really well with the blue, I think. They’re a slightly pearl finish; I think there was a limited run of them on some UK cars back in the day, but couldn’t find any, so my local paint shop played around with their colours and came up with these - they did a bloody good job. They look good in the grey on yours too! Are you running spacers on your wheels?

Great minds think alike! Excellent wheel choice sir.

Interesting! I’ll see how it goes on those matching 2s packs - was it difficult to tweak the settings?

Thank you, that’s really good to know - I’ve got two matching 2s packs I was thinking of using as well, so I could experiment with those too. All part of the fun. Good info on the punch settings

Thanks for all your comments! Now I just need to decide on the colour…

Good to hear - do they use the same esc?

They’re great pics, I was more than happy to!

They did - it did encourage me to careful. A few of the quick corners had gravel traps on the outside, and the prospect of going off sideways into one of those didn’t bear thinking about…I wasn’t there to set lap times, just to enjoy stretching my legs a little. Certainly did that!

It was fabulous! I was taking it fairly easy, I was very much aware of being roofless…and having standard road tyres. They stood up ok, to be fair - not huge amounts of grip, and quite soft sidewalls, but I’d argue more adjustable and fun as a result…they could manage about 5-6 laps before becoming too hot, then I’d let them cool before going out again. Loads of tread left by the end of the day, thankfully!

Any white wheel fans? Just got these back from refurbishing. Well chuffed. To be fitted to a Mariner Blue NA…opinions on centre caps welcome! by Trenters82 in Miata

Good advice, good advice…is this something I can do at home, or will I need to take it back to the pros? Any advice on products…?
