Those are nice. What backspacing they come and and where did you get them?

If Rushin is pushing 200 whp in a Miata, his power to weight ratio would mean he can easily tangle with Boxters and the like. And yes, wheel weight makes a big difference that you can feel. Even a few lbs a wheel is noticeable. just my $.02 |

Another XJ & Miata owner here. Funny thing is the XJ and Miata are kinda' alike in that they are sometimes snobishly dismissed by other 4-wheelers/sports car owners.

Been looking around and it looks like no one really makes wheels in 4" or 4.5" backspacing. All wheels I see are 3.75". :-(

Go to JY, look for factory offered alloys. Or check craigslist.

I just don't really like how the wheels stick out 2" past the fenders. I can live with 4" backspacing but 3.75 will be too much.
