Hi all,
  Just wanted to say thanks for the many posts, direct and otherwise, that I
received from my plea....  I plan to buy some OEM Miata 14" steel rims from
Tire Rack and a set of Pirelli 190Ps.  Many people have told me the Pirelli's
would handle better on dry road and perhaps last longer.  Although I may have
been able to find a suitable match for my 15" BBS ('95 M) rims, I figure the
money I say for mounting and balancing for three seasons will pay for the
steel rims.  Not to mention keeping my BBS's in perfect shape!  Does anybody
know the REAL price to replace one of those!?!
   Well, if I've made any glaring mistakes, please give me a yell.  I won't
be able to order them til next week (getting paid every other week is lousy
sometimes).  We received another inch this morning, and it worked fine on
that, happily.  
  Thanks again,
    Mike Kirk who has no garage and could not bear to give up his leather
seats and
       CD player for some beat-box with am radio will now take the perhaps
unrecognized
       and politically incorrect title of Non-Beat-Box-Driving-Twinkie.
