Subject: 15 inch wheels?

Hello all,

	I'm really curious to see a Miata with 15 inch wheels!  I keep 
picturing a Miata with wheels bulging out of the wheel wells--something
akin to a "Monster Truck" that you see crawling over rotting old cars.
Do these 15 inch wheels look a little disproportionate?
	If anyone has a scanned picture of a Miata with 15 inch wheels, 
I'd love to see it. :)
	Along the same lines, what is the error on the speedometer when
you're riding on these 15 inch wheels, or does it come pretty close with
the low profile tires?  Do you ever have problems with the wheels rubbing
on the inside of the wheel well?

Thanks,
Chad Bohlmann, `91 Blue
