New design and redesign, all  look good (3 wheels in all), but I'm partial to the update closest to the original, and the wholesale new design.

 I'd originally posted this update to the "what happened...949" thread, but it turned in to a rehash not specific to the redesigned stuff. 

These are all pretty bitchin, imo.

I like that one that looks like a concave 6UL the best. Just hoping for a 15x9 size.

Remember when a 15x7 was considered beefy for a Miata?

I did get a little thrill buying 15x8s for mine, ten years after running 15x7s on my old NA.

I clicked on the link and it says I have to log in to facebook to look at the pictures. Not a good way to market a product, especially to someone who won't join that mess.

I think the Sangster is terrible looking. I like the Cuto, looks like a nicely updated version of the original.

I'm not on Facebook either, but it's open to the public if you search 949 and go to the FB result. 

Not sure what the deal is with the link I posted.

It makes me think of the guy I'm friends with on Facebook (never met him in real life, you know, one of those) saying he wanted to put 225s on his NA Miata but that would require fender flares. Meanwhile I'm over here cramming 245/40R15s on 15x9s under stock NA fenders

Still running 15x7 Motegis on mine.  And KYB AGX shocks with FM springs and sways.  It's kind of the flathead V8 of modded Miatas now, right?

Here's a direct link to the survey. No Facebooking required. You'll have to answer a few questions before you get to see the wheels. I'm not going to link directly to the wheel pics because they want people's input.
