Replying to: ateixeira (Mar 19, 2008 7:15 am) Best bet is still lease turn ins. They are popping up. These Mazda program vehicles, like what we tried to get yesterday, go for too much. Replies to this message: ateixeira (Mar 19, 2008 10:12 am) aviboy97 (Mar 20, 2008 6:40 pm)

Replying to: aviboy97 (Mar 19, 2008 9:02 am) Are those from Manheim? They get the cream of the crop. Replies to this message: aviboy97 (Mar 20, 2008 6:40 pm)

Replying to: ateixeira (Mar 19, 2008 10:12 am) Yeah, the auction was held at Manheim for Mazda, out in CA. All were top line merchandise, in basically pristine condition.

Replying to: bodega (Oct 24, 2007 4:40 pm) Be glad that you didn't get run flats. I test drove one at the dealer the day I bought my MX-5. They are VERY noisy and feels like you are riding on solid rubber tires. I had Goodyear runflats on my Vette. They came O.E. and I couldn't wait to get them off.

Replying to: white_miata06 (Feb 25, 2008 12:22 pm) I know what you mean about the car feeling like it is going faster than it is.I have a speed 6 that really flies and im constantly exceeding the speed limit-I just bought an 08 touring with 6 speed and i find myself going slightly under the speed limit quite a bit of the time. This could be a good thing if it avoids some tickets. The car is a blast so far-had the top down a few times and it is really fun to drive.Enjoy your car!
#398 of 529 winter tires by robger99 Apr 11, 2008 (4:42 am)
Just got an 08 touring with 17" run flats. Have a buddy at work who will sell me a set of four 16" winter tires on rims for $100.00- only used one season on his bmw. Im assuming these should fit because the base tires are 16" right? Any input appreciated.

Replying to: robger99 (Apr 11, 2008 4:42 am) Maybe, maybe not. I'm not familiar with the MX-5, but I know that BMW's are what is known as 'hub centric'. Miata & hub centric. You may need a hub ring.   Even if they do match, you would also need to make sure the bolt pattern is the same. If you're going up a size then the brake clearance shouldn't be a problem, but you should check it to make sure. Replies to this message: white_miata06 (Apr 11, 2008 8:54 am)

Replying to: bdkinnh (Apr 11, 2008 5:51 am) I would also check the offset of the bmw wheel vs the offset required for the miata to clear the brake calipers.

Replying to: robger99 (Apr 11, 2008 4:42 am) My guess is no, probably not.   My '93 Miata has a 4x100mm, not sure about the newer ones, but I doubt it matches BMW's bolt pattern.
