15x9 Wheel Options

[Neverlift]

949 6UL


Enkei PF01


TRMotorsports C3M


Which would you rather have?
Color doesn't matter as I can have them PC'd any color but I am thinking polished alum/nickel will be the color.

[messiahx]

I'm biased since I own a set, but I think the 6ULs are the best looking of the three. Nickel finish would go well with your car.

[rodrigo]

i guess the middle.

and here is my thinking.

#1 will be 2 different colors because the outside is polished and inside will be painted...that looks like 80s

#2 is overplayed but ehhhh so have most of my jokes yet motherfuckers still laugh

#3 is too flush with the tire and looks a little too toyish


there, go with #2.... preferably on something less gay than a fucken miata

6UL

[mr_mazda329]

6UL's are played out in the miata community, but are proven worthy wheels.

PF01's are the lightest but dont look too hot in that offset

TR's look fantastic, but are just as heavy as the 6UL's if I'm not mistaken

[Neverlift]

I am going with TRs and getting them powder coated mag blue.

Did you get the c3m yet? Someone on miata turbo got a 15x9 set of silver 6UL for cheap, real tempting.

I'm actually waiting on 949's budget 15x9 to be released, supposedly this fall, but its been delayed over a year already. They're meant to compete w/ the c3m price-wise, supposed to be a little lighter too.

Emilio claims the rpf1's flex under load. Take it w/ a grain of salt though, he does need to sell his 6ULs

[aaronc7]

both me and Bob have C3Ms

[Neverlift]

C3M <3

[dange]

the C3m is a sexy wheel. especially with the TI paint!
I was about to get those before i decided I would just pull the trigger on the 949's either one is a good choice in my mind.

[dooderek]

get the ones where the spokes are dicks

Agreed. The 6ULs are a little lighter. I went with C3M because there was a waiting list on the 6ULs as always (or they only make them in batches, or whatever). Also tirerack will mount and balance the wheels/tires for free when you get them all from them, so it's a great deal, it was under 1k for all 4 wheels and 4 x 225/45 RS3s. It was hard to pass up a good deal so that's the route I went, I like the way they look too.

I wanted the 6uls so bad - But they just don't seem worth it for the extra money and time I'd have to wait to get them - the bronze was a big deal for me b/c my car would have basically been #1 exactly - so i settled for the c3ms - i'm glad i did - they fit w/out suspension work on the nb2 car with the sport suspension & brakes - i didn't expect them to - so i'm happy i can rock this for a while till i get my coils

Bob, you need the raise the prices on your stock racing harts. It'll hurt my chances of recouping some moneyz when I sell mine.

I'm still gonna wait on 949's rev8 or XTR whatever they're gonna call it when its out.

[bigx5murf]

[Neverlift]

Nice. The bronze looks cool. I would leave Rota's to the Subbie guys though lol

[bigx5murf]

looks like I'll be joining the c3m club

[Neverlift]

Why does that not have RS3s already mounted? Can't fit any other street tire... going R comp?

can't find a place to buy RS3, w/o waiting till September lol

Hey, did you need low profile banjo bolts on the brake lines to run these on your msm? FM is telling me I'll need them, and in the past they've actually recommended I don't buy crap I don't need.

[Neverlift]

Lmao, no

[bigx5murf]

Thats good to hear, really didn't want to bleed brake fluid just to swap out those bolts. I would've tried test fitting to find out myself. But sold my jack to a friend, and am still waiting on my low profile jack to be delivered.

[Manny]

is there an option number 4? I'm looking for some 15x9 but refuse to go with 6UL since there are quite a few local NB's that have em. Not a fan of PF01 and there has to be something lighter than C3M..
