Thanks for the feedback. Looking to buy some Advanti or Konig. Think I will put 205's there and maybe at some point 225's for the track or just the sake of it. But should mostly drive with 205s.
My problem is i can't find these rims locally, so i might have to import them. So trying to figure out if 7.5" would be a more appropriate choice for what I want to achieve.

That being said, 15x7.5's can be cheaper and lighter, and I have seen some people run 225's on them. Depends on how much you care about turn-in feel, grip, etc. I'm not sure how well 7.5's would handle with 225's; definitely not quite as sharp, as there would be more sidewall roll.
Anyway, I think 8" wheels would be a better option, but that might be different for you. It depends on availability, budget, what you're going to use the car for (if it's mostly street driving, you'll likely not notice much of a difference between the two, but you'd probably want 8's for track use), and how you want the car to look.
Keep in mind that I've never driven a Miata with 15x7.5's. I went from stock 5.5's to 6.5's to 8's. This is based on what I've read/heard/learned.

You can e-mail 949 for an update. I have three sets of wheels and have tested several combinations. water damage ceilling michigan A 205 on an 8” wheel is a bit stretched and does not ride well on the street.
