I need a set of those.

Why we go to events: see friends, see cool cars, see new things.
We remember when Ronal Bear wheels were available new back in the '90s, but at this week’s Orlando Roadsters meet we saw something new yet retro: three-piece Bear wheels. In gold. Or is it bronze? Either way, it looked cool.
Did someone cut up an original set? We didn’t get a chance to chat with the owner, but we’re guessing they’re from Felgenwerks.
So, speaking of Miata wheels, what’s your favorite for the chassis?
While our 1992 Mazda Miata now wears the Kosei K1 Racing–same as it did 20-plus years ago–several other wheels have been fitted over the years:
Stock Mazda “daisies”
14x5.5 inch
Circa 1998
Kosei K1 Racing
15x7 inch
Circa 1999
Rota Circuit 8
15x6.5 inch
Circa 2001
American Racing Silverstone
15x7 inch
Circa 2005
Rota J-SPL
15x6.5 inch
Circa 2006
Volk TE37

I think those are awesome, but they are worth a lot more than the rest of miata in total. The style boost isn't worth the budget hit, sadly...
Those are dumb as hell.
Favorites are Enkei RPF1 and 949 Racing's 6URL.
I like the Mazdaspeed wheels, but they're fragile.
Yeah, that's gonna be a no from me dawg.
If that dude didn't leave near us (hate to steal someone's look), I'd totally buy a set.
Neatest wheels on a Miata would be these (you'd get to let your inner Ben Hur out):

I'm with you there. Can't go wrong with either of these on a Miata.
My wife wanted a set of these for her H2 when they came out.
In reply to wspohn :
With or without the knock-offs, yes, those would look fantastic.
