New KONIG SPOOLED 15x8 20mm!
#23
The wheels do stick out a bit due to the low +20 offset. But they're actually not much different than my other wheels, 15x9+36 TRMotorsports C3M's. I think the math says the Spooled's should stick out just 3mm more, and the C3M's are a pretty popular fitment for the Miata, so I think most people won't have an issue with the +20 offset unless they're unwilling to put a roll on their fenders, or if they're at a super low ride-height.
The rear angle picture makes the offset look the lowest, due to the shape of the rear bumper tapering in so much. But in person, it doesn't look awkward. Also, my ride height is relatively high (I run really soft coilovers because the track I go to most is very bumpy). I think with less wheel gap, the wheels would look even better, but I'd it rather handle over looks.

Hey! Thanks for replying with more pics. Looks much better now that I can get a better idea of what they actually look like. Nice car man.
I'm definitely going to grab some of these Konig wheels, just got to decide which ones I like the most now.

It's official, got WHITE color coming in about 60 days.
Bronze Spooled 15x8 are going FAST so get em now or whine later.
Black Spooled 15x8 are good for a few more weeks.

The other option is to silver paint the spokes, and machine the lip.....which is how the 20mm 15x8 WideOpen is finished:
Assuming the image in your sig is accurate, the red wheels would be a downgrade visually.
