Evening all,

I have my mate holding his set of Uras NS01 for me that I am planning on using as track wheels for the M35. I will be running semi slicks on them (have not decided on tyres yet).

They are 17x8 +30 which is the same as my daily rims only they are 18x8.

Heres how they fit/look on the Stagea, they look tiny as they have 215/40s on them, I will most likely run 245/50 all round. I am also not running low enough.

The other option is R33 GTR stockies as they are forged and would make the smarter choice but are twice the price of the NS01s.

Opinions on sizes would be much appreciated. Trying to keep the wheels them selves to under $800

Cheers

Cameron

running 16's when on the track should help with acceleration if you bring the diameter down.

Will also help getting the car a bit lower...lol

I can't run 16's as I am planning on upgrading my brakes and I don't think 16s would fit.

If you are going to run them on the track only don't stuff around get slicks (second hand are cheap). What makes you think your car's not low enough? Have you got adjustable suspension?

I would use them on things like mountain runs and so on too so thats why I am wanting semi slicks.

Just does not look low enough, with the 18s on it (look at the rear wheel on the last pic) there is a few cm of gap. Also, the grey mouldings at the bottom do not help, they just make it look higher still.

I have adjustable suspension but it is only height adjustable, the damper is as standard. It can be a bit bouncy sometimes so thats why its at that height. I will be upgrading to Silkroad 8way adjustable coilovers asap.

      It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.

      I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility

      I'd say one thing that may make you sell is the same reason the guy with the hard top roof sold his. He got old, and his back was giving him too much grief stopping him getting in and out... Old guy said he was 73! He looked and sounded younger than 73 to me! Or maybe I'm just aligning with old people more...

      Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something
