Which wheels/tires for ITA Miata?

[BradB]

Which tire size works better on an ITA Miata, 205/55-14 or 225/50-14?

Any wheel recommendations? I want light and strong, but need to keep the cost reasonable.

For wheels, probably Kosei's. The SM crowd runs a 15x7, 13 lbs. Good weight, and I'm sure they make a 14x7 wheel. Decently priced, although if you look around, you might get a better deal with something else.

Good luck,

Honestly Brad, if you want light and strong and low cost, then stay with the stock alloys. Mazda did a good job with wheel weights, and it's hard to find 14's that are lighter, unless of course you go with Panasports. But then you're talking mega$$$ for those. Get your hands on some 94 and up stock alloys that came 14x6 with the thin spokes, and you'll be happy. I run 195's on 'em. I also got the chance for some Panapsorts 14x7's for super cheap so I went for it, and I run 205's on those.

Hope I helped.
