Was just wondering if anyone has looked at purchasing other OEM rims from other manufacturer's to use as track/autocross rims. I heard OEM Miata rims are pretty light. Anyone?

Just remember to get 15" or larger. The 14" rims will not clear the brakes.

Centerbore on the Miata is different than the MINI. If I remember correctly, the Miata has a 56mm centerbore and the MINIs is 54. No one makes a 2mm hub centering ring that I know of. I thought the same thing in my quest for 16x6.5 rims.
