Any auto-x guys weigh there cars??
-
When i find some... I dont wanna pay out the ass for smaller wheels right now... I want bronze heliums... so unless i find someone that wants to trade the 17s for 15 heliums than not in a hurry. I wanna get some other things done to the car before i worry about wheels. Gonna put a vtec head on it. Than maybe a lil boost. And im gonna go crazy with bars since there are non on the car. 3 point front, 4 point rear, c-pillar, and also do an auto-x cage again but that is last and in the future. The bars and boost are gonna happen this year.

@ Harwood for the light weight wheels,
The heliums are nice, but a little erm, flimsy? If you are looking for some check out Clubroadster.net classifieds, Miataturbo.net classifieds, and if u find something you like and don't want to register hit me up and I could.
But for the end all be all solution, Most Miata owners (4x100 w/ +38offset) Love these things:

http://www.949racing.com/index.asp?PageAction=Custom&ID=1The 6UL is a sharp design, strong, light, and can be as wide as 9's, and run around 245-255 tires.
Also, for the weight deal, my Mazda-speed M weight 2450 w/o driver and full on gas. Have you stripped trunk, speakers, extra seats, yet? Thats 100lbs or so right there.

This guy [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JauiBQ5p7ks"]Sonny[/ame] traded out his 16x7 SSR Comp C's for a set of 15x8 6UL's then got a set of 15x9's. The video is of Sonny, Emilio, and another Miata member. Emilio is the owner of 949 racing, and designed those wheels himself for the Miata as a track wheel. It also fits the wilwood kit for Miata's. As you can see, it was adapted to fit other vehicles too. Anyway, it kicks ass, is light, and again, you can run big tires. I think on the civic your stuck at 205-225, but still a good size.Oh, Well, Anyway, Give Emilio at 949 a call, he's a smart man and fun to talk to, and knows his stuff.
If you want to know what these wheels can handle, Here is Sonny's youtube profile with his modlist. That car is sickeningly fast.Lastly, what IS all done to your car, do you have a thread?
