On early Miatas, the bolt pattern is 4x100. The regular 7 spoke (similar style to Minilites) weigh 12 pounds, which is hard to beat if you find a set for $100-200. Not sure if the M spec BBSes are 14", or the later hollow spoke, maybe 15.

Epic drive! Moving from back of the pack to FIRST place in the first lap! That lad's really going places.

And the price of crocodile boots and belts will go down.

Congratulations. I'm going through a similar starter issue also. Makes me look at Miata ads, especially white ones. Of course what makes it worse is that we are having lovely weather that is not 100 degrees. Every good driving day missed is not coming back around until November.

Really? Another sportcar enthusiast that has given up on "Road & Truck" and "SUV and Driver".
