08 MX-5 - The wheels/tire, suspension improvements, intake/exhaust have transformed this car from a wandering, sloppy car, into a sports car. It's tight & predictable at turn in, throaty and much more responsive when the intake is added. It's not too loud, it's not too rough...it's a real old school sports car. My dad's car was a 1959 convertible D Porsche, that's what rode around in as a kid, a sports car. This isn't a point & shoot car, it's a sports car. I used to race these cars - This car is a responsive, spirited car...It's not race car, it's not uncomfortable. That said, if I'm driving this at 10/10ths on very technical road with on camber & off camber switch backs where throttle steering, not brakes are required at the end of a mile a Porsche 996 is definitely in mirrors....A lot of cars that would murder this little car in a straight line don't touch it if you have to turn.

Is there a difference in the face of the 6UL for 17x8 vs 17x9 sizes? Hard to tell from the pics, but to me they look the same.
