    (seriously i'm not adverse to getting a set anyway if they will clear a massive race kit, which they probably will)
    Get me the PDF and I'll send it to them.

    I care about lightweight, strong wheel with BBK clearance that I can buy anytime of the year for going to the track.

    Don't be redundant.

    Looks a wheel that a scarf wearing miata owner would want.

    Finalizing that now, but it will be very similar to their current 15x7 Spec E30/Miata wheel.

    Obviously a rendering, but I have pics of the 15x7 I can post later.





    If more E30 guys went to the track vs hard parking on steelies at Kroger's that could probably happen.

    3 piece 15x9 = $2600

    The 6ULs are great wheels, no doubt. I've literally spent $4k+ plus with Emilio over the last 15 months, however, I and many others hate that the 6ULs are never in stock.

    I don't really get why spacers would matter. you should be using quality studs anyway.

    I have gen1 wheels, haven't had any issues though.

    15x8 ET35 would be nearly perfect for the ix.. :)

    A friend uses 8 in. 949's on his track car. Early wheels were a little brittle. Broke a couple. Emile replaced whole set for nothing. Improved wheels seem to be holding up fine. I'm using kosei 8's over big brakes and like em although they ain't pretty. Would go for some affordable 15x 9's.
