New Miata guys are using FD rims
I was trolling around the miata.net forums and stumbled across this thread:

Apparently the FD rims fit new Miata quite well.
Pretty cool

Very interesting. I have '92 Miata... I've been tempted by the new one.
Shows you how times change. 16" wheels were considered pretty sporty in the early 90s. Now even the Miata has bigger wheels stock.

considering Fd wheels are one of the most well engineered wheels made for racing, i would say this is a good choice. you really cant beat a 16x8 wheel that only ways a little more then 15 pounds each.

Yeah, me too. Seems like a pretty cool car. however, I think my next Miata will be a Spec Miata
Maybe you'll see me on track once I move out to the SD/SoCal area next year...

The older Miatas (95-recently) have really nice curves.

But they are still awesome cars.

You make a statement.
Then you hit enter.
It reads funny.
I agree with what you said.
However the new miata performs well.
So Perhaps that can overtake any issues with it's design otherwise.

It has the looks of british cars.
2nd gen. miata looks cheap and boring.
06 miata looks nice.
It looks more "expensive".
