The Miata got some new shoes Friday. I had been looking at a lot of different wheels, but for my street set, I wanted something different. Late last year, Konig produced a limited run of thier Kolors wheel in flat black with a red lip. I instantly loved them. By the time I was ready to pull the trigger the existing supply has shrunk down to 2 sets in the whole country. One at a store in GA the other in CA. Both were ordered in under deposits. After about a month and a half, I checked back with the GA store to find out thier customer had backed out and received a refund! I installed them today with some 205/50R15 BF Goodrich G-Force Super Sport A/S tires. As for the wheels, they are 15x7 with a +38 offset and weigh about 12 lbs each. The pictures don't really do them justice. I will try to snap some better ones this weekend, but here is what I have so far:

Very nice Jeb. Your car looks too nice to run over cones with. :)

Appearance is all subjective, but all I have to say about that is....WOW. That looks really good. Looks to me like pictures may not do it justice, either...probably looks better in person. Often the wheels can make the car, and this is definitely one of those cases. Love the look with the hardtop, too...
