^^^ jealous of you black !.....and lip kit

I ditched the 16's in favour of better tyre wear........

Sportmax again (they are cheap for decent offset)
15x8 +25
fitted with 195x50x15 (got the wrong size tyre on the front...to tall.....makes car look too low)

Thanks for everyone’s help with offsets and cap info.
Alex, I will send you your hubcentric /caps hopefully next week. I have to make some more and get them anodized clear to keep them shiny. These caps are on because I couldn’t wait any longer.

Looks great Richard, almost as good as the original Scooby. :wink:

Could be the nicest looking NB Ive ever seen.
You have done everything I wanted to do but never did.
Can I please have Scooby back now?
Richard

Hey Richard. I just saw this post........I could be persuaded to swap :lol:

Dont tempt me. I would love Scooby back. I still miss him. Unfortunately Scooby 2 I will have forever.
I am having to control myself from buying that lovely white NB for sale at the moment as an everyday car.
By the way, it's been ages since you have sent me any currant pictures!!

All the best to Kerry

Richard

Hey guys,

Does anyone have a picture of a black NB with bronze RPF-1's? I really like CE28's but at $2200+ a set for 15-16" sizes the price is unappealing.

Hello everyone,
just got my NB, first with the standard NB8A 15 " rims and with 16" NB SE rims,
sitting a bit high as I have jacked the car up to change the wheels. Paul

Rims in the lower photo's are from a 2002 Titanium Limited Edition also known as the Camel of which only 150 were released in Australia.

This is where model IDs get confusing.

The 2002 Titanium Limited Edition (aka "The Camel") is known as the "SE" in the US.

The "SE" in Australia is known as the "MSM" (MazdaSpeed Miata) in the US - our regulators deem that words such as "speed" cannot be included in model names since that promotes reckless driving apparently.

Why didn't they just rename the Aussie SE something else to avoid confusion?

Thanks de Bounce & Lokiel,
on the Miata.Net Wheel Weights site they are noted as SE wheels, so now knowing what model they came off is very interesting.
BUT what do you think of them on my silver NB8A. Paul

Paul, I quite like them, much better than your OEM wheels but I'd like to see it lowered a bit, it looks too high at the rear.

Tony,
What offset does your 15x7.5 wheels have with the Hankooks?
Do you have any rubbing problems?
Did you have to alter the car to make the wheels fit (remove plastic inner guards, etc.)?
