um... personally i wouldn't buy those. they're kind of heavy, the stock wheels are lighter, plus i wouldn't trust someone that thinks miatas are front wheel drive.

They are ok wheels if you drive a honda.


Heavy.. Ugly.. Everyone has them.

Get tires from discounttire.com

Plus the lug pattern is incorrect for the fc3s.


If your are a 4 lug, you need 4x114.3

5 lug - 5x114.3

WHAT toyo tires.. what SIZE????? Just like everyone else... toyo makes some JUNK....

a 215/45/17 is going to be the best fit for that rim width up front you can go 225 for the rears if you want a wider ***!!!!

Tire Rack's got sumitomo HTRZ II's for 86 bux each right now be about 375 with shipping...

they've got Kuhmo Ecsta 711's for 67 bux each... they aint flashy, but they aint bad either, especially for 67 bux each!!!!!

they got Kuhmo MX's.. which kick *** for 129 each...

All in what you want for meat on the bone!!!!!!

i was looking into the Bf goodrich g-force KD's for tires. i thinkt he size was 225/50/15. i don't remember if it was 45 or 50, but they're Y rated tires (186mph). they're 150 each, and eventually i want to get some azenis, but not till i have 16 inch rims to match, and i want to keep them lightweight, so i might go with volks... but damn they're expensive. anyone know anything about the bfg's?

On eBay there is a company called East-coast tires, I got my rims and Hankook tires shipped, mounted, and ready to install for $700.
