Dear god 13x8's are sick man!

I recently let a friend use my car for an autocross... he used his R compound tires... take a look at the pics I think I'm going to buy these suckers!

what wheels are those?

Looks like Rota RBs to me.

Many people love the 13x8 and I'm not an exception

From what I remember the biggest problem (for street use) is that there are not decent tires available in that size!

Of course you can use R compound tires on the street but then you'll probably destroy the paint of your car - since these are sticky tires and they pick up everything from the road...

I know what you mean. A fellow club member let me drive his Miata (see below) at an auto-x last year before he sold it to get his RX-8. It was my first ever experience on r-comps (Kumho V710) and coilovers (Bilstein PSS9) and I was totally blown away. It was so effortless compared to my car - grip was phenomenal, it handled way better than my car, and it had a better ride quality to boot!

Too small, IMO

Looks good on an NA, but that NB some how looks like a Zentradi ship with mini donuts on it...

They are very small... they would never be run on the street, hence R compund 215/45/13's

The tires felt great, little unforgiving, but the reduction in overall rotational mass really complemented the gearing of the car. AKA it hauled ass!

My car was one of the fasted cars on the track yesterday, and much of it was from these tires.

I don't much care for the look either, but it truly was a performance improvement

I dont think Breetai could fit in a Miata!! :twisted:
