Just another silver NB....

[NCGreasemonkey]

I like 'em. Stealth in a non-black hue!

And it might be the camera angle - I know that it is the old-man brain not remembering from your earlier posts - but you dropped from 15" to 14"?

I know that the higher aspect 60-series side-walls are more forgiving when driving down here in the 'Good-roads' State we live in.

[—tsingson—]

Yeah. Went from 15x8 +25mm with a 205/50/15 tire. I guess I have to drive it and see.

[NCGreasemonkey]

It will ride like a cloud, neighbor!

When we finally get to meet up we can re-shatter your spine with Noir. If I get a pass. seat by then.

I just don't like having a second set of wheels just sitting. Especially since they have basically new Neo-Gens on them.

[NCGreasemonkey]

I have two. And thinking about a third.

But some explanation. OE daisies and passable tires in a wheel tire desperation moment (broken, badly bent). Dial-ins on now. And want another set of flow-formed (not sure what style) for stickies.

Still like the silver on silver look you are running. Hints of carbon or polished SS accents would be my 2-cents. But I know 'nuffing! I bought a $2800 car and have spent many times more on her.

You already know this... But store the tire/wheels vertically with a thin piece of plywood between all contact points and the ground. Fully aired.

I think once you start tossing the car into corners you'll at least appreciate the grip the 615Ks have over the Neogens. Because from my experience, the Neogens don't have the grip to go along with how quickly they wear.

If it's a color issue, you could try plastidipping the RPF1s in gold. I know that Autozone carries the Dupli-color brand that comes in multiple colors, gold being one of them.

Only carbon on the exterior is the rain rails. Gotta get the car out into the sun after this rain to see what it looks like.

[HarryB]

They look great! I am not particularly fond of silver against silver though. Plus, raising the car slightly might also help with the looks





(I know the second one is not properly mounted on the car )

[Greasemonkey2000]

I think the RPF1's look great, Anthony! I'd keep them! The MAIN reason I didn't do this route was because it made bbk's (big brake kit) more difficult to fit....

[—tsingson—]

I know. I have looked into big brake kits but don't think I will go that route. Wife likes them but doesn't want me to get rid of the Wide Opens. I still haven't gotten it out on the road.

[NCGreasemonkey]

Stealth silver with Carbon roof rails now. (I wish I had ordered the Carbon rails for Noir)

Maybe outer door handle Carbon. Have to skim back thru your build, but Carbon duck-tail.

Just those subtle hints that all is not right in this Miata-Nutz mind!

Peace my neighbor!

[—tsingson—]

I haven't found a wing I really like. It would be something like a duck tail though.

[NCGreasemonkey]

Too bad these wouldn't fit.



Next time you head to Greensboro or close to the Triad let me know. I want to shake hands!

I feel like the BBKs are overkill on street cars. I'm sure if someone has a proper dual duty car, or they're a really fast mofo in the mountains or something, OK. But there doesn't seem to be a need for a BBK on a street car otherwise unless ya want the look and "street cred." Really, the right pads on quality stock replacement rotors will easily get the job done on the Miata.

Say, which C&C were you thinking of going to this Sat., Anthony (saw you mention it else where)? Been thinking I might go to one this weekend. Need to clean Betty up tomorrow/today if so.

[—tsingson—]

I know that Wake Forest and Goldsboro have a Cars and Coffee this weekend. I am good for either one. Let me know which one you were thinking of going to. If it's Goldsboro, I hope there is more of a turn out than the one I went to last time.
