Foil (red/black) and tire questions

Post by masraum »

I just picked up a red 04 MSM. I want to replace the 17" Racing Hart wheels with something smaller and lighter. I've got 15" Heliums on my old '97 (thanks Brian), but I want a 15x7 for my MSM. I think the red & black Foils would look pretty sharp, but I'd love to see a set on a red miata.

My other question is more for Brian. I used to run Toyo T1S and T1R on my '97, but most recently, I've been running Bridgestone RE11s. I love the grip both wet and dry, and think they surpass the Toyos (on grip, not wear). I was wondering if Brian has anything comparable without resorting to something R-compound. I daily drive my miatas year round in the wet and dry. As soon as I sell my '97, I'm going to be ordering wheels, tires and McGuard Spline drives for the MSM. I got great service from Brian before and will be going through him again.

Thanks
Brian

That red Foil is on backorder, no ETA yet from Konig on when we see more of those. Picture of the silver below:

On the Foils, ok, if the reds are still backordered, then I'll probably just get silver. I'd wanted the RP-F1s in 15", but they won't fit over my brakes.

I'd like something in black that's 15x7 and light that'll fit over MSM brakes. I guess most of the 15x7 wheels are just over 13lbs, so I should have plenty of choices.

On the Bridgestones, wow, I'm not sure how I missed those. I thought I'd looked at all of your options. That's a spectacular price too!

Thanks tons. Now to get that other car on Craigslist! I can't replace the wheels and tires soon enough.
