I love it!!!!
I agree they are heavier than the originals, but at the same time a car is not an investment. If you can save a lot of money and still have the same look, why not. A wise financial investor will recommend his clients to buy these wheels over the originals. And his reason, "you work too hard for your money sir, so do want to lose $1500 or $4000.00 on wheels that doesn't appreciate in value?"

How about 225/35-19 and 285/30-19? Will that cause any issues?
I am looking at 285/30-19 because per the miata calculator, this setup is only 1.1% faster than stock.
Additionally, it will provide a much better staggered look because of the difference between 225F and 285R.

Per the miata calculator, the rear wheel is 2.1% faster than the 18" stock.

You are going to have rubbing issues with a 285 though, i'd suggest just running the 275's like we suggest, it's only going to be a 1mph difference at highway speeds...not a huge difference, might get up to a 2mph difference when you hit 105mph
