rota or enkei. Best bang for buck. Enkei would be better but cost a little more. Let me know your budget and I'll figure some dope **** out. You got miata 4 lug so that's awesome.

there's a million choices really. Tires are another story. Will differ from drag to autox, depending how seriously you want to drag.

hmmmm

I'd suggest getting six wheels.

keep two with drag's for events.
otherwise your compounds will get quite hard and you won't have consistent times.

the other four can run street tires.

You'll need to run 14" wheels BTW in the front to do it. Hard to find tires otherwise.

Get two 14's and a set of 15's.

15's can work for street and fun autoxing. then you have it all and cheap I'm sure.

90.00 for the Nitto drag and probably 90 for each wheel too.

Then spend 650.00 on the 15's with tires. So total of around 1000.00 and you have it all.
