Could this be a new lightweight wheel option for FiSTs? 4 bolt, forged 17x7 and takes 205/45/17 tires

Ugh, this is the car I should have held out for.

Lug spacing would be an applicable number to have. I doubt it's 108mm, but maybe.

The new Miata would have been awesome with about 80 - 100 more horsepower. I am sure it pulls far better than the 155 horsepower would suggest, but considering it puts out less horsepower than a lowly base 2.0L 160 HP Focus and gets worse mileage than the heavier Focus, it is a bit of a puzzle.

It was certainly bold of Mazda to come with a new generation MX-5 with less horsepower than the previous generation. How many car companies have done that in the last 10 years?

I am not a Miata/MX-5 hater as I owned one for 17 years. I guess it is still up to the after market to make them fast, although with 13-1 compression, forced induction will be tricky. Again, how does a engine with 13-1 compression only make 155 horsepower?

And back to the wheels, even if they did fit I am sure they are likely $1000 a wheel being factory parts

Even with only 155hp they can do 5.8-5.9 sec 0-60mph. Not bad for stock. I'm sure the 2332lb curb weight helps.

These new miata's are sharp looking.. Then you see 155hp and it makes you go ughhh. Haha I love what the car stands for though, you don't need 700hp to have an awesome drivers car.
