May not be available yet.

Kind of sweet and sour, the more people that have meshes the less special they will be.

Enkei has yet to release any of their Classics line in a 4x110. Every time JNC gets all a flutter over new rims from Enkei I bitch about just this. No Old School Mazda love.

I like Autobahns better, but these are nice as well, wouldn't mind a pair for the right price.

They were released at the end of March this year. I have them on my SE. 15 x 7 in the front + 38 with a 15mm spacer and 15 x 8 in the rear + 25. These are the only sizes and offsets they are sold in.

Retail is $190 for the 15 x 7 and $210 for the 15 x 8's. You can find them for less than retail at numerous places.

A lot of the Miata guys are buying them in the 15 x 8 sizes.

Ask and you shall receive.

For anyone with an SE or SE suspension these are a relative bargain for new wheels compared to the price of used ones. There isn't a wide range of offsets but they can be made to work on the GSL SE with a spacer.

The car is lowered on RE Speed Race coilovers, Racing Beat roll center adjusters, ST front sway bar with front and rear Tokico Illuminas.

My hope is that it will show them the level of interest in a 4x110 mesh wheel. If we get enough signatures I'm going to contact Enkei and send them the petition. Maybe then they will offer a 4x110 pattern for us. I believe that this is pretty much what happened with the Konig Rewinds that a lot of people have now. They weren't making them in 4x110 until enough people complained, then they finally decided to manufacture them.

It really can't be that much extra work for them. They probably just have to reprogram a CNC machine somewhere to drill the holes in different spots. The main thing is that they don't want to make a bunch of wheels that they can't sell. So we need to show them that they will sell. So start making them!

Tell your friends!

Jamie

Thanks for the compliments.

I think they are very reasonable and a great option for anyone that doesn't want to look around for a set of wheels that are period correct (except for the center cap) aren't 15 years old and need to be restored .
