Looks great, never been able to find that proper edging material at bunnings, I need to look harder or they don't stock it in W.A.

^ I had an mx5 owner mistake you for me the other day as my track wheels are orange like your wheels. Apparently you should wave back =P

I live pretty close to you (used to live in Sandy actually) so will probably see you around.

Hi guys, my new Rota RB 15x7 (Ebay purchase from the US) running on Bridgestone RE002s, delighted with the look and performance of the tyres. Ride is still good and no perceived change in acceleration.

The Rotas look very nice, Varjak. Do you have a weight figure? (Well, it's mass really, but everyone calls it "weight".

)

Looks great Varjak, What size are the RE002's?

Varjak · Postby **Varjak** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 3:33 pm

Thanks guys! Size of the RE002s are 195/55/15s, thus keeping the rolling diameter as close to stock as possible. As for weight, I mean mass, I didn't weigh (um, mass?) them myself so can't provide an accurate figure but the research I did before purchasing suggested they would be just slightly heavier than stock. A small price to pay for the improved visual stance and the classic look. As I say, no perceptible change to the performance and as the car won't be going on a track, they suit me perfectly.

In case you're interested, this is the ebay link for the wheels: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/15-ROTA-RB-SILVER-RIMS-WHEELS-15x7-35-4x100-MIATA-XB-/300568034013?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item45fb403add

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of price did you end up getting these for. i have found the 205/50r15 for around $185...

No Cheyne I don't mind, got them for $155 each, including fitting and balancing from TyrePower in Reservoir. I was very impressed with the quality of service, ask for Ray! He did a cracking job on the wheel alignment too
