I didn't want to post another offset/wheel question, but since it was ignored in another thread, hopefully i'll get some feedback:

Ok this is what i have:1. kyb agx's2. suspension tech springs --1.5" drop3. 26mm Z32 front brakes behind the stock SE alloys (7 spokers) right now.The car is my daily driver, and i occasionally autocross. The intention of these wheels are to be used from spring to fall only.

I preferably want to go 16x7. In my endless search for wheels I found that some of Team Dynamics Pro Race wheels have tons of offsets to choose from. (some of the wheels are kind of ugly, but function first i say). Here's the Mirage: http://www.fastlane-motorsport...irage

And here's the ProRace2 : http://www.fastlane-motorsport...Race2which offers +35 as an offset as well.

Which offsets they offer would be best? I'm leaning towards the ProRace2 (despite its looks). There's no need for rolling fenders with 16" wheels--right? And what offset would look best? About +38 or +35?

Thanks in advance guys.

sky... +35 and +38 is only a 3 mm difference. they might not even clear your brakes. thats a pretty high offset for a 7" wheel, but if thats what you want to get, go with +35

edit:

wait a sec, it says the prorace comes in +15, +25, +35.

Go with +25 if you want to stay conservative, but would be willing to add spacers later if you wanted it to be slightly more flush. Or go +15. You shouldn't have problems with a +15, especially if you don't have coilovers and it should clear your brakes.

+25 eh? Would that be better for Z brake clearance than +15 you mean? Hell, has to clear the calipers better than my se alloys. :D

Here's a better pic, that shows a 3/4 view. I'm diggin' the silver.

What kind of tires would i be able to run? I wasn't thinking anything insane, 225 rear and 215 front was what i was thinking.

Awesome, thanks! I know what i'm going to get now--silver ones, they're reasonably priced, and heavily endorsed by SCCA Miata guys, so they must be pretty good.
