Flyin Miata announced today that they will have a run of 0et 6UL wheels. You can pre-order now, they will be available in october. For now it is one color option in 15x8, but definitely a welcome addition to the array of options. I previously had a set that clear my BBK without spacers, so this may be the best non-custom lightweight option out there. Total price is ~$700 for 4.

My apologies if this isn't allowed, I'm in no way associated with Flyin Miata, but I've been extremely frustrated trying to find light track wheels for under $2,000. Hoping this is helpful for others. I almost ordered Rotas this week for close to the same price...

If only we could get these wheels at that price here in Blighty!

If only they didn't need a spacer to clear the fender mounts.

They shouldn't need a spacer to clear fender mounts. I am working on my fenders now with 15 X 8 zero offset and the clearance is looking good.

So far on the FB group people have claimed both, some say 15x8 et0 does need a spacer, some say it does not. I'll hold off until someone gets them installed without a spacer.

It all depends on how you bend the fender stays. Its a close fit, but they work without spacers. Tires matter too. I have had two sets of 205 tires that had sidewalls that stuck out different amounts. |

I have some 8.25" 0et wheels that clear the stays, but that involved heat and bending to make it happen.
AN update on the 6UL front, you can also order direct from 949 racing in two colors, one being $10 less per wheel, and shipping was significantly less for me. Total savings of $80 for a color I liked more.. Not it becomes even closer to Rota pricing for much nicer wheels. I'm patiently waiting for October.
