Finally got my new wheels 15x7 CX

g_rant · 06-29-2012, 11:04 PM

maybe it's just the angle or possibly that you need a drop...but those look huge for 15's

HERBERT · 06-29-2012, 11:05 PM

Look more like 16. What size tire?

mathew_howe · 06-29-2012, 11:06 PM

I agree I need a drop lol thats next on the list.

mathew_howe · 06-29-2012, 11:07 PM

The tires are trazano 185/60r15

boostaddict2 · 06-29-2012, 11:23 PM

Yuck.

REDBLKMIATA92 · 06-29-2012, 11:26 PM

maybe not my style of wheel. looking forward to see it wit some drop

mathew_howe · 06-29-2012, 11:31 PM

i think it will look better with the drop. hopefully this summer i can get that part done.

Chase! · 06-29-2012, 11:34 PM

Yay for Brilliant Black!
I also ride black on black

imnatelol · 06-29-2012, 11:53 PM

That's not something you show off my man. But if you like it that's what matters amiright?!

Neopolitian · 06-30-2012, 12:41 PM

Sorry but goddamn...that is so much worse than stock. (my bad if this was trolling and I took the bait)

I have V2 Comps that I really like and don't show off because they are TE37 knockoffs. Plus they actually add to the look and performance of the car.

It's just people are really passionate about miatas and wheels in general and when you have a thread saying you got new wheels, dudes be thinking 'oh hell yeah, a fresh set of Wats in the states, or maybe some Work or SSR type action...Volks perhaps'

*opens thread* Good lord!

(no offense)

mathew_howe · 06-30-2012, 12:55 PM

lol I understand how you guys feel but remember not everybody wants there car to look just like everybody elses car. its kinda pointless to put wheels on your car just to make it look like your neighbors cars lol no offence.

Teleph0nes · 06-30-2012, 01:14 PM

you could have just posted this in the "Show us your wheels thread" or whatever its called. Also wtf tires are trazano? And wtf tire size is that? Get some 195/50 tires and it will look infinitely better.

mathew_howe · 07-03-2012, 09:46 PM

BITCH BITCH BITCH lmfao the tires are as close as I could get to the stock hight. That way the speedo was not thrown off and still ride decent. I know everyone on here wants the car lowered and with wide tires. To me it looks like the car is squating to pee expecially when they are camber kings.

DEATH METAL · 07-03-2012, 09:51 PM

damn i seriously thought that the first pic was a 'before' pic -___- and there would be some dope wheels + lowering involved in the 'after' pic... but uhhhhh nvm

mathew_howe · 07-03-2012, 09:53 PM

Here is a better shot.

pandita · 07-03-2012, 10:21 PM

I personally don't like 3:

Those wheels look like they belong on some shitty 240 :\

Dmn2258 · 07-03-2012, 10:23 PM

no....they def belong on an old civic. but if you like them on your car, then good for you!

pandita · 07-03-2012, 10:30 PM

yes,
you can like what you like.

mathew_howe · 07-03-2012, 10:42 PM

Yeah I was just trying to have something different than everyone else's.

true. at least they arent 002's lol

mathew_howe · 07-03-2012, 11:12 PM

Lol believe it or not i have had 7 people stop me and ask me if I would sell the car since i put them on it. The problem is i have no idea how much its worth lol

Dmn2258 · 07-03-2012, 11:15 PM

shouldn't be hard to find out. try posting in the how much is my car worth section of the forum and i'm sure several people will help you out. you'll have to provide detailed info about your car though...

mathew_howe · 07-03-2012, 11:28 PM

cool thanks

74bubba · 07-04-2012, 09:20 AM

I like them why be the same as everyone else.

donnyg20 · 07-04-2012, 09:47 AM

Your speedo won't be off that, I'm on 16x7's and my speedo is off about 2 mph nothing to complain about. That is if you drive the speed limit lol.

Doppelganger · 07-04-2012, 10:36 AM

Your speed-o isn't 100% perfect from the mfgr. either....there is a tolerance to such devices.
Tire size from one make to another can be different by up to .5". To top that off, as you tires wear, they change diameter, which changes accuracy.

So, in the grand-scheme of things, there is no such thing as a perfectly accurate speedometer. Get proper tires. You have a sports car, give it the tires it deserves.

brontosaurus · 07-04-2012, 10:49 AM

Not feeling it, but I think a little lowering might help you out.
