Wheel selection can get touchy but I gotta agree with Mike. On my personal car I wouldn't "upgrade" to anything less then RPF1s.

@OP: If you have extended studs, spacer + OG spare is the best option. Ebay spacers will do just fine in this case. |

^ They advertise the Enkei Fujin wheels as compatible. They have it in 17x7.5 ET40 5/100 size. ~$200 ea. CAD from an e-tailer here in Canuckistan. Quote:
Edit: Maybe take a look at Team Dynamics wheels from England-land. The price for them seem pretty alright and well... just take a look :p A certain hi-po Ford hatchback forum has an importer as a sponsor and they look alright. Also seem to recall a few pictures of them posted here as well. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...t=team+dynamic |

You'd have to see my BBS then... although they're in pretty good condition for the use they've seen. The two previous owners had then on (real) race cars...

Yup! They're not DD wheels for sure. I don't want to talk about my wheels. I prefer not to invoke any luck, one way or the other.

i would say that the team dynamics are are likely stronger than the rpf1. i also think that the mach v awesome is a decent enough option and a much lighter weight. the kosei k4r is a beast of a rim for miatas. i would imagine its pretty amazing in the larger size too. rota isnt my cup of tea but i think that they put out a decent product for the price.

Re: Team Dynamics. They're heavier if I recall, in the neighborhood of 18 to 19 lbs for the Pro Race 1.2 17" sizing...because people broke them in non-race situations (pot holes kill wheels!) and they responded by making them even tougher.

They are a bit too heavy in the larger sizes though, but for a spare.. who cares.. I don't know which might fit with the sprint kit though

probably the Rota Titan, available in 17" and under 18 pounds. It's their TC105 replica...
