The car looks much better, and will look even better with the drop, but why, dear sir, do you use the exclamation point as your sole method of punctuation?

It looks a completely different car. Much classier and more serious. So much nicer!

^^ those are 0 offset, but they are a HUUUGE width. the diamond racing wheels are 0 offset, but it wont quite fill up the flares like the 16s do on that car. just imagine rotornuts car painted black with the diamonds on it, and thats about what it will look like. i think if you lower your car a little more than his car is, it will look SICK.
but those wheels are DEFINITELY a huge upgrade.

saw them in person, looks good, but not at 4X4 status, but we've all been there.

but as far as filling up the gap of the flares im gonna use coil overs to achieve a lower ride height and a better gap fill. i may go with size he is running. its all up in the air and i just really know i want to run a really really wide wheel and tire set up.

If you do anything staggered, Ima gonna slap the taste out of your mouth!!!111!one! ;)
Seriously the car does look much better, and will look better still with some suspension.

yeah, miatas dont like stagger. the rear will grip too much and understeer will be your bff. unless youre making ~300hp like that black car does.
