A wild Turbo Miata at SEMA today.

see you their drive safely

Love the look of the red turbo car! What are they using for wheels, tires, and fenders?

That car is from PA. The body work was done by Croll's Customs. Josh Croll is in the Scion Tuner Challenge at SEMA this year. He did the RHD Boosted TC with the Exhaust coming through the hood.

More SEMA stuff.

New Enkei TSP6

You bump into lots of fast folks at SEMA.

Lots of great new wheels coming. New flow formed choices from Traklite coming, including 14 pound 17x7.5 and 15 pound 17x8 for NC (no pictures available yet).

The 15x8 and 15x9 market is going to get even hotter. New FLOW FORMED choices from Konig. One will be sold under their upscale Avanti line, and one under the Konig label...but BOTH are FLOW FORMED which means stronger/lighter than lesser casting methods.

Here are the AVANTI STORM versions, Semi-Matte Anthracite and Semi-Matte Black. I think these look great, but note that KONIG label version will have more clearance for our Big Brakes. Weights for for 15x8 in 12 pounds range and 15x9 expected in 13 pound range but we never know exact weights until production versions land on our scales here, likely in FEBRUARY.

Konig versions "Dialed-IN" will be 15x7, 15x8, 15x9. Again, expected weights respectively at 11, 12, 13 pounds, but we never know for sure from prototypes.. must wait until production versions land on our scales here for final weights.

Note the Konig version is 12 spoke instead of 10. Before anybody locks in on which appearance they prefer note the Avanti was shot with center cap against nice uniform background surfaces, the Konigs below didn't get that advantage. Again, don't know which will clear our Big Brakes yet, but this Konig version certainly had more clearance for our big four and six piston calipers.

More shots of Cord Bauer's Catfish, this time at SEMA.

Thanks to Cord for letting me sit in it. What happens when you sit in it is that you notice how everything is located exactly where it should be...the shifter, the steering wheel, etc. Thanks to the Miata bits under the skin it all feels just like home immediately.

Brian, tell us more about the 6-spoke Enkei's like on the white BRZ. Sizes, colors, offsets?
