wanted to originally go with 6UL's (still might) But I feel like they're a bit played out. Though for the price they seem amazing.
price isn't really a factor. I'd want to use these for the track. :slayer:

TR Motorsports.. but honestly 6ul>over TR's.

Konig Flatout and Wideopen. Cheap and decently light.

I believe Kosei made or still does make a small amount of 15x8 k1's. I think it's a product that Tire Rack doesn't really advertise though.



Price jumps up massively from there on for items from volk, work, advan etc.. Even some of those brands are only available in x7 at the widest for 15".

Wow, cool to find out about the kosei k1s in 15x8, i never knew that. in my opinion 6uls are still the wheel to go to for track duty. street duty i'd understand the played out factor however.

I agree with what norman said. 6UL then the TRMotorsports. If you really want to spend money you can look into Volk or Advan, but for the money not much out there beats the 6UL's.

if you don't have a problem with xxr's the 15" or 16"x8.25 527's are really lightweight I haven't weighed them myself but I saw on clubroadster the 16's weigh 16 lbs...idk bout the 15's though

For track I would go with the 6ul. There is a good reason why they are played out. That being said I am a cheapskate and went with the TR wheels for the track. They seem to be holding up ok so far.

Is price really not a factor? You can get whatever sizing you want from higher end manufactures as long as you have the money.

Seems like I will be going with 6uls after all! If it came down to spending a nice chunk of change on wheels I wouldn't mind picking up the te37's in 15x9 second hand for a good deal.
Price isn't necessarily a factor but I still would rather spend the excess money elsewhere on the Miata.

If money wasn't an option, I would have Mag Wats. (Not even sure if those sizes are an option)
