Does anybody make a 14 X 5.5 or 14 X 6 Minilite or Panasport type wheel for a Miata. I like the old school look over the ones that look like wagon wheels and I want to stay with 14 inches.

How much are you willing to spend?
Rota makes them as does >>>damm the name escapes me - big int he tuner scene and cheap
In reply to AutoXR:
I think the Rota's are RB's which are similar to Konig Rewinds which are similar to Panasports. Snowdoggie's biggest restraint may be limiting his choice to a 14" diameter.
I'm sarting to wonder how BMW bottlecaps might look an a NA

Pretty good
Konig's come (or came) in 14" as I have seen them on many early corvairs.
XXR 513's are the ones I was thinking of.

Mazda makes some of the lightest (and cheapest) 14x5.5 or 14x6 Panasport type wheels for Miatas.
Does Panasport make them in this size?
14x6 is a pretty common size for Panasports. This guy is supposed to be one of the better retailers - http://www.spruellmotorsport.com/select-parts-manufacturer-c-2067_2073.html
John Targett is the US distributor for genuine Minilites. He's a good guy and has always answered my enquiries quickly.
It all comes down to how much you want to spend...

Thanks.
I might look into the street wheels if they have the Miata bolt pattern. The Panasport web site didn't even have links to their dealers.
Panasport's website is garbage, which doesn't surprise me because I've heard a lot of accounts that dealing with Panasport sucks. They make a good product though, and their distributors seem pleasant enough to me though.
If you wanted to spend even more money but seem cool to the kids you could look into Watanabes, too.
Here's the Minilite link if you wish to cross-shop. http://www.minilitewheels.us/

Im surprised this got no reaction. I LOL'd, anyway.
i silently nodded in agreement
The ones I have don't look like Panasports and the center caps are rather faded.
