Default 949Racing 6ULR wheels?

These wheels are very popular with the Miata crowd for being wide and light weight. They have 17x9 and 17x10 wheels that only between 18-19lbs. Curious as to you guys' opinion on how they will fit with a offset of 48,63 for the 17x9 and 52,72 for the 17x10

So with the 48 and 52 offset so wouldn't come out that far you're saying? Still new to these cars and I'm not sure of the acceptable offsets yet

I think stock is something like +50 for our cars so it would be as sunken in as a stock rim would be, would need major spacer action to bring it out to an acceptable level...

It's wider, so it's not going to be as sunken in as stock, but yeah, you might have clearance issues on the inside of each wheel with offsets that high. lol

17in rpf1 are 16lb for 9" and 17lb for 10". lighter, offers better offsets, and you can find them used in great condition

No prob. I've seen a few pairs/sets on zilvia.net and rx7club.com when I was looking for wheels. Offsets range from+12 to about +35 and prices range from $6-700 w/o tires to about $12-1500 w/ tires
