Mike,

I'm in the "heavy thinking" stage re: replacing my 94R alloys with
aftermarket 15"s. Wheels & tires just crossed 7k miles this weekend and are
in perfect condition. I realize you don't need stock tires.

I'll let you know if I do decide to take the plunge.

Any ideas on a fair price?

Hi Steve;

I pondered over whether or not to go with the 15" wheels also, but decided to 
stick with the 14" when I realized I had at least 10K-15K miles left on the OEM 
tires.  Also wondered about how the 14" spare tire would work with 15" wheels.  
And the other mods I'm doing made the price of new tires seem out of reach at 
this point.  Anyway, I had the old tires mounted on the new wheels, and they 
look great!  I got the BBS model RA II wheels, and they go very well with the 
Miata IMHO.

I sold the '93 OEM alloy wheels for $250.00.  I've seen wheels (with tires) 
around here in Phoenix going for $450.00.

Good luck, Steve.  Let us know your decision.
