Looks a LOT better then the old wheels I think (this is the Miata that had those white wheels right?) Yeah not feeling the hood spacer either.

i put the hood spacers on cuz i did my research and my under temps are actually 10 degrees cooler.

Not a fan of the hood spacers but the car looks like fun. Could do with a bit more power for wheels that big ;)

i dont have a problem with power. the wheels are the exact same overall size as factory. just bigger wheels and smaller sidewall and they weigh less.

In that case I take back what I said! My natural reaction to 17's on Miata = heavy as fook.

funny. when i had the miata i was looking for ways to cool under the hood and all my searching proved that because of the cowl thats created, it increases pressure under the hood and creates a mass of immobile air, increasing temps and drastically increasing drag.
