MRDOBNS · 02-13-2010, 05:38 PM

well here it is. they are ESM 003's 17x7, 17x8.5 +25. i know most of you are gonna say "slam it" and i'm down with that i want to get your opinions. its lowered 1.75" already. i've got the centers but i dunno if i want to put them in. anyway here are the pics. they aren't very good(blackberry)

RustyNWeathered · 02-13-2010, 05:59 PM

ditch the wheels and sell the car to me haha

jacob300zx · 02-13-2010, 06:10 PM

FYI nobody cares if your number 225, its not that rare.

nateee · 02-13-2010, 06:15 PM

I would not say slam it, I would say get wheels that are not staggered.

my 05 is #1266 (300Z can L my B's)

enjoy the car

nannerpus · 02-13-2010, 06:46 PM

Stop putting staggered wheels on Miatas, people!

Edit: they look cool, which is why I wish the front ones had that deep lip too. Why deprive yourself of width?

Max_Power · 02-13-2010, 06:54 PM

Nice car but the wheels are too tall and not too wide... but I'm glad you like them!

MRDOBNS · 02-13-2010, 07:01 PM

300z- L my B's also as there were only <5500 msm built for the US
sin-tek - thank you i do enjoy my car
max - i know alot of people on here and in the miata community think 17s are too tall but i had just bought new tires for my stock wheels so these were the logical choice and i do really like them

Exactly! It's rare enough.

I probably wouldn't stagger either but the setup looks sweet man. Of course, I told you that already on the other forum.

MRDOBNS · 02-13-2010, 07:56 PM

yep yep i love the look. the grey is almost the same color as the car

stormin'norman · 02-13-2010, 08:28 PM

Very clean! The wheels are not my favorite but my opinion doesn't matter.

The douche runs deep with jason300zx

17x8.5 all around woulda been cool.

Oh, and #37 here.

mk2tmr2 · 02-14-2010, 11:39 AM

Staggered FTL. Heavy FTL.

Needs center caps. The only wheels that look good w/o center caps are those that scream "track". Those do not. The style is aite, I suppose. But the car looks way too high.

jacob300zx · 02-15-2010, 10:08 PM

Every freakin MSM post has their car # included...

Get over it not being rare.

Staggered wheels are gay.

I owned an MSM.

Those wheels are probably in the 25lbs range...ouch

I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night.

I like lamp.

MRDOBNS · 02-16-2010, 07:05 PM

negative there dickbag they weigh close to stock

Maybe. But the stock MSM wheels aren't exactly heralded for their light weight.

I would guess those ESMs are well over 20lbs each. It is pretty well known that ESMs are boat anchors. The 16" 032's are around 20lbs each IIRC.

17x7 17lbs isn't terrible for a cast wheel (but I still hate the wheel, and yes if you look at my sig you'll see I'm a hypocrite). I had some 17x7s that were mid 14 pounds but that's really pushing it unless you go all out and get nice forged wheels.

Not really sure why you feel the need to bitch about eeeeeverything. No one forced you to read the thread. Leave the dude alone.

Mazda thought the car was special enough to publish the build numbers. Yes there are plenty of Miatas that are more rare, and yes all those guys have their build numbers plastered all over the place too. Deal with it.

If you can't help but be offended enough that you absolutely must trash any MSM thread, well don't look at my signature.

DanR · 02-18-2010, 06:23 PM

The best thing I ever did on my MSM was to put some 15x7 SSRs with 205/50/15. You can't beleive how much better it handled. To each there own.

angelus erratus · 02-18-2010, 06:30 PM

I just got the EXACT same specs on the wheels I got. Can't wait until spring to see what it feels like..

And MRDOBNS, I don't like to be negative, but not feeling those rims at all. The different size wheels just looks strange to me and they look kind of heavy.

That said, I hope you are happy and enjoy them.
