I was targetting 15's too, as a good compromise.

One thing I've been disappointed with is how few tires actually weigh less than stock... I mean, looks are fine but it makes no sense to me to buy any rims that wiegh more than the stock 13 lbs...

Is it just me or would some of the miata wheels look pretty damn good on a 1st gen?

http://www.miata.net/faq/wheel_weights.html

In particular I like the '99-2002 Sport 5-spoke alloy wheel and the 10th Anniversary polished version. And if I'm reading the page right it would have the 4x100 bolt pattern for all the non-SE's out there. What dya'll think?
