"Honey Badger" Miata: Turbo Track Build (new brakes installed) - Page 136 - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

CleanNeon98 · 11-29-2009, 03:19 AM

It's just too low for the city d00d, my lugs couldn't handle the slammage.

CleanNeon98 · 11-29-2009, 03:25 AM

Car is in a desperate need of wheels, the offset/width/tire size on these is killing my planned look.

Nick Merrone · 11-29-2009, 04:29 AM

your car is like a honda with a fart can right now to the "stance" trend.

The NB Miata still has suspension travel, even at that ride height.

CleanNeon98 · 11-29-2009, 11:57 AM

It's gonna be at 11.5 front 12 rear when I level the ride height to my liking, plenty drivable. Did scrape going over a small speed bump leaving the art museum last night, and also drove over an apple in the street the other day and shattered it with my subframe LOL

You should be careful, the frame rails on my NA were wavy as hell from speed bumps and various stuff. Control arm brackets are banged up....it sucks in Philly man. I got stuck coming out of my parking garage, the valet guys had to come push the car HAHA

Zillon · 11-29-2009, 01:04 PM

Yup. You're gonna have to be real creative now driving around the city - you ain't drivin' a 4x4 no' mo'.

Since I installed my coils 2 years ago, there's been a few places that I simply can't go because I'm too low. I've also gotten really lucky with some speed bumps.

Start carrying some 2x4's in the trunk for speedbumps.

D Money · 11-29-2009, 02:23 PM

finally!

GeforceXtreme · 11-29-2009, 02:30 PM

Man you are going to be able to drive under the front of my car now lol. Hope to see it tonight if I stop down at sonic. Looking good.

CleanNeon98 · 11-29-2009, 08:11 PM

I haven't had many issues with being able to drive around, can usually navigate my way around bumps and stuff pretty well. Now it needs wheels!!!

CleanNeon98 · 11-29-2009, 09:07 PM

Feedback on any of these wheels...want to get 16x8 et0 or as close as possible

Axis Oldskool (hard to find but nice)

XXR 501

XXR 002

Konig Remember with colormatched spokes (titanium gray) and polished lip

Other suggestions welcome.

sleeperSL2 · 11-29-2009, 09:10 PM

um, the last two are the same. lol

abrok99 · 11-29-2009, 09:13 PM

these in gold

or these in grey.

TalonTsi97 · 11-29-2009, 09:27 PM

Axis Oldskool, or the konig remembers. Curious to see how they actually look on the car though

doug · 11-29-2009, 09:29 PM

a fair warning to everyone, constructive criticism is always welcome.. no need to be rude with your comments and/or photos you decide to post in the thread. moving on, let's try to be more constructive instead of rude to fellow members.

sleeperSL2 · 11-29-2009, 09:44 PM

I like the Axis'. what about a blue color?

93EGY8 · 11-29-2009, 09:51 PM

im a big fan of the axis in gold, i like them alot, good luck with it man. still planning on doing alot of autoxing??

MX5 · 11-29-2009, 10:06 PM

Axis Oldschools

87fierogt · 11-29-2009, 10:47 PM

man i really like the konigs and i rarely say it about the wheels they produce. going from all their previous wheels im guessing they are 1 piece? i think those rockin gold or black centers would look pretty good. doesnt the company drag produce replicas of the axis? i actually like them. or the 4 spoke works i cant recall the name. what bolt pattern is this car and whats the min. rim size you would rock? the ronal's i had listed and another member had em forsale pretty cheap they just needed a refinishing(that would triple the value btw.)
