[Ciotti]

I snagged one of if not the first set of the silver Konig Spooled's right before Christmas when Goodwin had the preorder up and they finally arrived yesterday...

your photos make those wheels look 10x better!! waiting for installed pics on your Miata now! :bow:

[Ciotti]

Thanks man, ask and you shall receive :)


So unless you have a hell of a fender roll in the rear, which I do not, don't get Falken 912's in 225/50 for these wheels because they won't fit... They do look good though...

5mm spacer in the front...

Looks good on the car man! I was waiting for these to come out in this color or polished. Kinda sucks when I move back up North and we got 2 NBs rocking the same wheels. :P JK But definitely looks good. When I get up there, I'll hit you up and we can do a quick photo shoot or something.

[Ciotti]

Sounds good man, that'll be cool, ebony and ivory :)

[SM16RMSM]

How much roll do you have so far. I now very interested in getting a set.

[Ciotti]

I don't have any roll which I'm being told is why they don't fit, apparently with a flat roll I should be good to go.

[morr]

Great photos as usual! I really like the looks of these. I'm just trying to decide between silver or bronze. Think I'd run 205/50's instead though.

If I could do it all over again I would too :(

[morr]

Yeah I'm hoping if I raise my car a bit more that I can fit em without having to roll the fenders.

[Ciotti]

I'm ordering 205 50's tomorrow, I'll let you know how it goes :)

[morr]

Haha sweet! Same tires or something else?

[Ciotti]

I did BFG Super Sports, I have them on my Cobra and for an all season they're astounding. They were the first all season to hit 1 lateral G but they still work in the snow and rain. They're the worst of the all seasons in the snow but we get less than 2 or 3 days of snow each year so I'd rather have something that's better for those other 350 days :)

[morr]

Ah ok, cool! Sounds perfect then. I figure I'm gonna get the Kumho XS, because ChrisJuliano had them for MATG and they seemed to do pretty well. I know they're not that great in the rain, but I drive slow unless it's really nice/on back roads... plus, I have daisies with blizzaks for the snow :lol:

[Ciotti]

I have 295/35/17 Kuhmo XS's on my Cobra and they're decent, unfortunately they're the only option in that size and if there was something else available I would go with that because the XS's are quite numb and squishy. There are so many better options for Miatas, Star Specs, Re-11's, RS3's, R1R's, etc...

[morr]

Yeah, I was looking at the Star Specs too. I just wish I could find someone with any of those tires around here to get a feel for them.

edit: are these (http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Dunlop&tireModel=Direzza+ZII&partnum=05VR5Z2&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes) supposed to be the new ones? I remember reading they were discontinuing the original ones.
