Nice, works really well with the silver bodywork mate! :mrgreen:

Any chance you could take a picture standing a bit further back so we can see the overall effect, esspecially with the roof down.....

Nice! Mine are should be here towards the end of Jan, though mine are bronze.

Some more info about how Konig got a hold of these:
http://www.miataturbo.net/wheels-tires-78/na-konig-flatout-w-225-45-15-rs3-60232/

Summary:
Looks like they're "copies" of Rays CE28N. Konig purchased the casts. Not sure if they fixed the "RAVS" vs. "RAYS" labelling on the current batch or not.
Some people run them on the track and they do alright.

They are a good looking wheel, good offset and cheap and light too.. Blatant bias showing thru here.....

I've run mine for over a dozen sprint meets now and have banged a few ripple strips thru sliding sideways into them and they didn't break or bend, and still run true. One was hit pretty hard and I was half expecting to cop a bent rim (seeing as cheap and light doesnt usually mean strong) but no issues at all. Huge thumbs up from me...

Thanks for the feedback Rascal!

Anyone game enough to try the 15x8 Traklite Burn 4x100, 35mm offset, Machine Gloss Black?

See http://www.good-win-racing.com/Mazda-Performance-Part/61-1368.html

They're quite cheap compared to other 15x8s and they look "orright" (a bit like ROTA Grids).

"Wheel whores" please apply.
