I picked up an R lip and some NB 15's. They didn't look so hot in stock silver with the white so I've got more goldies going!

It's amazing how much of a difference switching up an inch of rubber sidewall for metal makes on the drive!

I really like them :D

Much improved. :)
The 15" wheel is the 'sweet spot' for Miatas IMHO.
The NB wheels look great on an NA and the gold works well on your car.

Anytime you'd like to 'upgrade' to a 99 I'll swap ya. :lol:

Looks good. I've always liked those wheels, almost enough to consider selling my 14" bbs wheels.

Whoever supervised the guy painting those wheels is a scooter land speed record holder.

And Jack is not. :P

Nice! Now paint those black sills to white and paint the lip :cool:

Gold on Chaste White looks perfect.

That's absolutely fantastic! You'll have to take it for a run when the season starts back up. It's a bit more watered down than your old one still.

Hell yeah! Leading the way for others. Bronze would look really good with the flakey black metallic paint. Gold would also look really good, it always worked well with the black impreza's with your paint.

I was referring to BFH's picture. I think I can see the reflection of a traffic light in his garage in his rear quarter panel.
