they do not have a wheel/tire combo for the 1...235/40/18 front and 255/35/18 rear are the reccommended tire sizes

You can either use your stock runflats or find something in the 255/35 (rear) and 225/40 (front) sizes. These will make your speedo off by about 1 mph but our cars seems to be a little fast in the speedo anyway. At 100 mph (done legally on the German Autobahn), my speedo is 5 mph faster than true speed according to my GPS. About 3 or 4 mph fast at 60.

I have 17 inch run flats on my car now so by putting 18 inch rims on will it make a difference wit my speedo

Not if you maintain the same rolling diameter by getting appropriately lower profile tires.

What's the wait time on the hyper black wheels? I'm just asking since there weren't any in stock last time I called.

CAMike · 09-02-2008, 12:18 PM

Use this site to help determine tire size changes...it's a great reference

http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

Try not to go more than 1-1.5% above or below your current tire size. This site really helps trying to figure out changing tire sizes.

If you have any specific questions about the gunmetal 18" CSLs please contact me directly and I can show you on your way...

PMing me is the best way to do this

i was told they'd have them in 2 weeks 2 days ago...

Velocity motoring is getting another shipment closer to the end of this month (probably around the third week of this month). Shipments usually contain a large amount of wheels... Inventory lists are not done so we'll let everyone know what's on it

zino_8 · 09-06-2008, 07:55 PM

Anyone got any pictures when there on one?
The 18" ones i mean.

ulrichd · 09-06-2008, 08:33 PM

Not sure if these are gunmetal or hyper black.

Just to be sure, those are 18", right?
They look really really nice. Damn

But I think they're hyperblack. Still nice.

ulrichd · 09-06-2008, 08:55 PM

That's not my car but those are 18" wheels on K&W coilovers.

zino_8 · 09-06-2008, 09:24 PM

And do you perhaps know how much he has dropped it?

Neither. They are matte (spelling??) black.

They are 18" and matte black.

I have hyperblack CSL reps on my car. They do not look remotely close to black ( just warning you). I have had them before and wont put anything but hyperblack on black cars anymore. +1 for EAS.
