Who wants a set of 15x9 6ULs?

I need some more cash to finish up my swap, so my track wheels/tires are for sale.

15x9 6ULs (Black with polished lip)
225/45-15 Toyo R888s

Wheels are near perfect, never been on the street so no curb rash. Tires have 2-3 track weekends.

$1000 for all.

I think I paid $1300 shipped for a '00 1.8.

There was a '01 or '03 on CL for $750, but standalone is a must to run this in a NA.

I already have a megasquirt for a 90-93 car built by Braineak on miataturbo.net. from my understanding, all I need to run it on an 01 motor/harness is a different plug.

Not sure if I'm gonna go turbo 1.6 or get a 1.8 and start saving for a Rotrex.

150k miles is nothing on a miata.

I've owned two, both with over 180k miles. Both ran like a top, one still runs like a top and its only run on the track (Much harder on a car than the street, alot of WOT and sustained high RPM for long periods of time).

So dont worry about 150k.


And god DAMN that car is hideous. And overpriced.

Once again, not an issue.

I daily drove my silver one for nearly a year with no problems. I daily drove my current track car for about 4 months before I bought another car.

And thats wayyyyy to much money for something you need to start fixing shit immediately. I paid $1000 for my first one, and $1600 for my second. You should be looking in $2000 range for a decent NA6, and no more than $4k for a good NA8.
