Thinking of replacing the standard 17's on my NC. After a morning spent looking at available wheels I think I have decided on the Rota GT3 in gloss black with a polished rim.





Has any owner fitted these to there car? what are your opinions of this wheel?

Would happily listen to other suggestions and look at any accompanying pictures you might have.

My car is galaxy grey so please bear this in mind if you were going to suggest any colours other then black or silver.

They look superb. If I had the $$ i'd happily have those on my car.

My wheels are beginning to look a little tired now so i'm umming and ahhing about getting them refurb'd once the worst of the winter roads are over - thinking of a colour change myself, always liked the black/gunmetal look.

I've always thought before that style of design worked better with small wheels 15" and under, but these look pretty good on this one http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l539/disssoof/...

Needs paring with some lowering and a good alignment though imho, should be a nice fitment being 16mm further out (7.5" et45 as opposed to 7" et55), yet will be nowhere near rubbing including with 215/45s.

NC photo threads and the wheel showoff thread on Miata.net are quite good for lots of examples of other wheels.

The ones in the picture looks good. I was wondering weather or not to go with a new set of 215 tyres or refit my current 205's from my 7" wheels.
