Panasport wheels... Show us what you've got.

[WASABI]

After four years I have finally refinished and mounted my Panasport wheels.

Polishing the lip is easier using the car!

Then, I was testing colors

Strip paint, wash off... repeat.

I know they're not super fashionable or trendy these days but in my eyes they are so classic and just look right. Easily my 2nd most favorite wheel on a Miata. The M2-1001 is my favorite NA but I like my wheel fitment even better than what was originally fitted to the M2-1001. And while I might prefer the look of the RS Watanabe Type B in 14x6.5 ET14.5, the limited tire selection in size P185/60R14 and difficulty in fitting Wilwood opposed piston calipers limits their practicality somewhat. So my heavy, high-offset Panasports will do for now.

Nice job re-finishing them! Look's so right on your car.

Thanks! I ran into a slight problem. I found out that +38 does not play well with 1.8 big brakes I have in the front. :fp: Slight scraping...


I have 3mm spacers (http://www.projectgla.com/store/products.php?203&cPath=34) coming from Project-G

In the mean time, I threw my Daisy wheels back on the front.
