Why so gold? That's a secret for a future update–but let's just say we have a new theme idea in the works.

Guess what just rolled off the UPS truck: Eight new wheels for our low-dollar endurance racer. We were tired of running with mismatched hand-me-down wheels from past projects, so we finally ordered our Miata a couple sets of its own.

What did we choose? 15x7” König Dial-In wheels. They’re strong, light, and reasonably priced at about $120 each. Why so gold? That’s a secret for a future update–but let’s just say we have a new theme idea in the works.

I was >< this close to buying a set of those in 15x8 bronze for the Manic Miata this spring, but I had to buy a minivan instead.

There's a cruel irony in there somewhere...

Gold wheels? Personally, I'm hoping to see those on a black car with a crazy screamin' gold chicken decal on the hood. Yee ha !!!

Wasn't Margie trying to buy an ambulance? Which Cannonball Run car had gold wheels? I've got an idea......

Miatas have the best wheel aftermarket of any car ever.
