Oh man this is some bullshit! Sorry Emilio! Don't worry, I think anyone who actually likes motorsports will buy your wheels first, as long as they are aware of them.
I would never buy that blatant shitty rip-off wheel. You probably didn't need these corporate ******** to copy your design and hard work for us, to know your wheels were the best available though.
Maybe they'll even copy the rest of your wheels! (S2k fitment,STi,RX8,MX5)
**** u tire rack.Bleed on you!
We appreciate all of the hard work, ideas, and effort you share with us! Plus what you give back(https://www.miataturbo.net/forum/t41917/).
When I need new wheels they'll be 6ulr's
Online tires dot com have better prices than tire rack anyway.

Well, as speculated, much heavier, and not nearly as nice looking. 6ULs are definitely worth the extra money compared to these. And if my math is right the difference is only $40 each not including shipping. And the difference in weight is 3.2 lbs. The win goes to 949 and the 6UL, especially for track use. Shaving almost 13 lbs collectively on the wheels for $160 is pretty much a no-brainer.
Yo if youz wantz da mad wide tyrz on da slamma jamma ride, da TR wheelz are the shizzle, nizzle, and mo Benjamins for da bitchez.

i wish they looked more like the c1's but for a track wheel who give's a ***.
if i had an extra $200 and could wait for the change of season's for a set of wheels i would love the 6ul. but alas, the $200 is my entry fee to a trackday. and i would have to have the whole amount of $$$ to order and wait for the 6ul's since i wouldn't be able to sell my current wheels until the new one's came in. so really i would need an extra $800, and that's not happening anytime soon. BUT, when my 205's wear out, i will most likely sell my c1's for nearly the same amount as the new ones. then use the $800 that i didn't spend on waiting for 6ul's for a fresh set of 225 nt-01's.
someday though, i will have some 6ul's. in the meantime, thanks tr for making some cheap 9" for those of us that are financially challenged.

Yup, 6UL is lighter, stronger and it looks WAY better IMO - no doubt the cheap posers will want to save a couple bucks even though it is an inferior wheel.
You can also drop a 3-4 lbs on each front corners by ditching the pig-heavy stock calipers and brackets and switching to some wilwood calipers and 2 piece rotors.

I'll probably take some **** over this but I don't at all like the looks of the 6ul. Sorry. The TR wheel is better looking to me but weighs too much. If I ever replace the Kosei's K1's it'll have to be a custom wheel I suppose.
Now these I like!
