[Mr.Woolery]

Decided to get a set of Sportmax 15x8 ET0 wheels for "daily" use on the project Miata. Didn't particularly like the Sportmax logo for the center cap, so I decided to try something a little different...what do you think?

Looking forward to mounting some tires to these rims and slappin' them onto the car to get an idea what it'll look like when completed. =D>

very nice jdm eunos wheels :shock: where did you get those? =D>

 

[Mr.Woolery]

The wheels are just the Sportmax 002's which are available locally. The Lotus-style Eunos badges were obtained on eBay--I bought five of 'em, one for each wheel, and one for the center of the steering wheel. Since the car is going to be BRG with yellow stripes, these Lotus/Eunos badges should go nicely with the theme. :wink:

Very nicely done. =D>

 

[Matt [exz3owner]]

nice. so how heavy did they end up being?

 

[Mr.Woolery]

I haven't weighed them yet...I estimate them to be ~14-16 pounds. Not performance wheels, that's for sure. They make decent daily driver or "show" wheels though.

I guess I'm starting to show little performance compromises here and there when the car is outfitted in "daily driver" trim, now that the Atom is on the way. :lol:

I'll run either the Wat Mg rims or the Volks for the track, though.

Wow...

 

[JDMC]

Can't wait to see them on your ride Mr.Woolery.

When you gonna have it done?

 

[Bryan]

Where the heck are ya'll finding the 002's? The Sportmax website doesn't have 'em...

They were hosting a group buy for the roadsterdrift.net forum folks. They should still be available, though.

 

[Matt [exz3owner]]

i totally understand the compromises thing. I'm goign through the same things...

they look goo dstanding still at least.

 

[vicious-s]

fantastic improvision! and if i recall, the wheels weigh a little more than 15lbs. good guess on your part! they aren't *that* heavy considering its a 15x8 0et, and cheap at that. there are much lighter wheels, but you'd have to pay at least twice as much for them (new).

[Greg G]

[boogie van]

[Mr.Woolery]

:So you paid roughly $125 for 5 badges? :shock:

Nerp. The price has gone up significantly.

Probably because the demand was perceived to go up..."hey this guy bought 5 pieces! I better raise the price..." :lol: :twisted:

How's the car coming along? It's gonna be great! :wink:
