Sorry but the speedo must be off somehow. Try using this calculator and see how it goes: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalcold.html

After looking at those wheels, I puked. I threw up like a drank 3 kegs, and topped it off with a few bottles of scotch. I have only had this reponce to seeing wheels one other time. And I must say those wheels actually looked...well....for the lack of a better word....better. If you were trying to pimp your ride, you went about it the entirely wrong way.

Check this out:

This is what you should have gotten.

Now, thats what you call unconventional. Forget having sick lip, do it like you, NO LIP, or like these guys, take the focus off the lip and try to give other drivers epileptic siezures.

Now thats P.I.M.P.

I was expecting some Advans or Volks when I see $3000. I guess I need to sell my Work Equips for $8000.

What type of apexi exhaust do you have? I've never seen apexi making anything like that, and I handle their exhausts everyday

Hey man, do what ya like. You thought you got a good deal, you didn't. But don't feel like you have to change right away, and make another mistake. I like the fact that you said it was a temporary thing, but don't rush because of every one else's opinions. Learn from this and realize that not everything is a good deal. Wait, save up some money, and in the long run, your patience will pay off. The only good thing from this is you might be able to make some money by selling the wheels to the Civic crowd (not knocking them cuz I like Civics, but more their style).

antenna is fully fuctional yeppers they are hard to get my ex got it for me from japan. but im sure yo ucan pick one up from ebay or yahoo auctions

about the exhaust--it is apexi -- installed by previous owner and i can still see the apexi decals undeneath the chrome pipes so i guess you dont handle enough of your exhausts buddy(globeclk)

and i cant sell the rims to civic ppl as you guys should know most or i should say all hondas have 4 bolt pattern......

In the nicest way possible, I find it tough to digest things said by someone with a Crocodile Hunter avatar with any level of seriousness.

sc250tt - that is sick value man.

APEXi exhausts don't use decals, the logos are engraved on the canisters, on the side. buddy.

I never knew that S2000s have 4 bolt patterns. Good finding
