23:52 ND just cameo in your film :D.

[@FlyinMiataVideo]

Those look great on your NC!

[@toshibavoodoo]

2012 Wheels are like every other Miata! LOVE THEM!!

[@julianhawkins9423]

New wheels are spot on 👍 that extra width look just awesome - Ghost looking just awesome. Rap in green could look brill 👍

[@MD-cs4js]

Gunmetal gray definitely looks great with your setup, I have been eyeing these wheels myself, look great.

[@macattack57]

I really like the FM Lug nuts. They really transformed the look of my ND. Since they're black, they go well with the BBSs. Also, the PS4S tires are amazing! I love my set!

[@jeffsjalops]

The wheels look great on Ghosty!

[@Samurai6936]

well done once again

[@ivorwm2291]

They look great

[@chrisbaxter5041]

Such a good looking car ❤

[@bobabreath5097]

Great choice on the wheels. They fit the car and look better than the stock.

[@sshhddoo9892]

I think you made an excellent choice

[@alexizorozco5815]

Sick wheels!

[@jasontietnan5447]

Wheels are truly Savage,like the porsche and bmw 763 m style

[@liamm-c1287]

Running wider tires on the same wheel just makes your sidewall softer (reducing sharpness) with the possibility of a marginal grip increase. Not to mention they are heavier. Wider does not always equal better.

[@motionelco]

I went with the Konigs. Same model , but I don’t get the cool FM center caps :(

[@MiataChannel]

I didn't really care for the bronze wheels either, and I didn't think they would look good with my grey interior. Now that they have silver I might have chosen that but I think gunmetal looks pretty good. If I still had my white PRHT I would have definitely chosen gunmetal. Thinking about wrapping mine also... the paint is pretty beat and only way it will look great is either a wrap or full repaint.

[@AccumbensNucleus]

👍

[@taheelfan1]

you getting outta breath my brutha, CARDIO

[@jonathanbrubacher25]

Almost as good as RPF1s :)

[@MiataChannel]

Better than RPF1s in the sense that everyone and their brother doesn’t have them.

[@anybleepinusername]

17:24 Are you sure you’re measuring thread depth in millimeters? I fully agree that metric measurement is far superior to SAE units, but that depth gauge you’re using appears to be marked in 32nds of inches, not millimeters.

[@eb_0497]

I have thought getting wider tires with the 17”stock rims. I wanted to ask what do you recommend 215/45/17 or 215/40/17? And what’s the difference i know that means the aspect ratio but at least in a real world scenario how does it actually apply?

[@FlywheelFilms]

On the stock wheels, I ran 215/45/17. A lot of people have good luck with that. A slightly wider tire means a slightly better contact patch. The second option you said, with a 40, might be a little bit slim. More sidewall would mean more comfort. That being said, technically, every tire is ever so slightly different, just like shoe sizes. But I have always done 215, instead of the stock 205/45/17. And it’s been great! You really won't notice much I don't think, it's a lot more noticeable in the brand of the tire instead of the size of the tire. Now that I have experienced good performance tires, I would pick that in 205 over a cheap tire in 215. But performance tire in 215 would be excellent!

[@DJPleasureSeekingMissle]

Is your car on lowering springs/coil overs or is that the stock suspension on the Clubs? Great wheels by the way.

[@Argentinagang2022]

He’s on Meister CRD coilovers

[@vlenhoff]

I've got Kogekis too for my black PRHT NC2 GT over a year ago, and in the same color!. I wonder if the tires should still be inflated to 29 psi. I am running 32 psi, but I don't know if this is right or not.

[@wg5768]

The sticker on the drivers door frame says 29psi. That is what I would go by. It's figured out according to the cars weight. Tire pressure goes up when you drive. My NC had over - inflated tires on it when I bought it and they wore out in the middle.

[@vlenhoff]

@@wg5768 Yeah, but would that refer to all wheel sizes?

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

Yeah, what he said ☝️

[@joewildwest2241]

i dozed off

[@wg5768]

There are two pinch points on each side of the frame rails that are jacking places. I think you should be using them. Two drawbacks of bigger tires,more unsprung weight which takes more power to rotate and with less wheel offset your tires stick out more and throw crap up onto the side of your car. I do enjoy your videos though.

[@grantgardner6117]

i’ll take the oems
