I remember some of my old Hondas having 13 inch steelies on them
Perhaps I need to do something about that gap tho....
Only concern is the ride. It already rides like a skateboard.
Just my 2 pesos, it won't end at "that gap tho..."
After the rims comes the drop, then comes I/H/E, before you know it this baby turns into a track car. Which would be awesome.
But I forgot what I was trying to say here.
Check out Enkei Compe 15x7 or 15x8. They look pretty good on the car.
And you're right, the car does ride like a skateboard.

I'll put down all my mods here so people will know how cool I am!
I'd go 15" Rivals and pro-kits, they'll drop the car an even one inch at all corners and it's not too drastic either way, slightly narrower sidewall and a slightly lower center of gravity, therefore not effecting the ride much, but your handling will be far superior to stock.

this thread is such a disappointment, because we all want something like those CC10s, but the end result will be something tacky that will make the miata gods angry

xxrs reps ccw reps would work similar visually.
My vote is for 16" wheels as well. The Miata IIRC were available stock with 15" BBS which look great, but understandably mesh wheels aren't everyone's bag.
These are a nice cheap option from XXR:
If you're not going to toy with the suspension much, I think your best option is to have the current wheels refinished and let it remain as it is. But in all honesty, what you really should do is trade me the car straight up for my KW V2 coilovers and BBS wheels and we can call it a day.

Keyword, "classy". I'm sorry, but all the ones you posted are tacky, ugly, terrible rims. If you want something nice, you need to get away from FAST. Or at least from those. The general theme you have picked is a black rim with brushed metal face (except for the chrome set), which is god awful ugly, and not classy in the least.
Look at Works, Enkei's, Volks, etc, or even reps of those brands. You don't like the mesh wheels and that's fine, these companies have many different types of rims. Look at Advans even, maybe a set of 3-spoke SA's.
The rims Wolf has posted are gorgeous, especially for this car, they suit it very well.

Not all fast wheels are bad Dave
A car like a Miata need some sort of deep dish wheels
Some of the suggestions posted up by members are very nice indeed
A lot of harsh replies here lol.
Lisa, it's your car - choose the rims you like on a budget you're comfortable with.
I hear you. I do like the wheels suggested, however I am an almost 30 year old female. Not a 22 year old boy. I don't do stance. Sorry boys.
After all the comments, I do agree a 16" would be sufficient and do something like this

Bottom pic looks alright, but if in Gunmetal, they'd look nicer.
Those are much better choice IMO.
Also I'm not convinced the top car is much higher than the one I posted
I've seen those spider's in person, they look real neat, so I voted for those.
Some food for thought, since Enkei started licensing their flow formed technology, there's been some awesome new wheels that have hit the market which are affordable, light and look good.
So I found these and REALLY REALLY like them!
Only thing is the width. Are these going to do the stance thing? Cuz I don't want that. Anyone have any clue?
They are reminiscent of a BBS wheel but a much cleaner look. I can find anything like them anywhere else.
stance thing? really?
also cleaning those is gonna be a SOB
Unless you get them coated by Hamza....lol
