Description
Kōgeki means "attack" in Japanese - seemed appropriate since these are intended for attacking your favorite corners, whether they're on a track or your favorite backroad.
These flow formed wheels are exclusive to Flyin' Miata and built for us by a major wheel manufacturer. They're high-pressure cast for less porosity, then the rim is spun-forged. They were designed specifically for the NA/NB Miata to ensure clearance for all FM and stock brake setups and for the perfect fit under the fenders. Because we know they'll be used hard, they're rated for 550kg (1213 lbs) of load instead of the more standard 500 kg (using J2530 JWL standards). They also have knurling to prevent tire slip.
And seriously, just look at them. Yummy.
The 8" wheels will fit fine with stock-format springs. A 205/50-15 is the ideal size for most and will fit NAs and NBs with no fender modifications. 225/45R15s might need a little bit of fender roll - it's possible you won't need to roll anything, but you should be prepared for the possibility. Obviously, the use of wheel spacers will affect this fitment. The wheel has a stupendous amount of brake clearance, which you can check for yourself using our printable template.

Centering rings aren't required, as the wheel will center on the taper of the lug nuts, but centering rings do make installation a tick easier.
You can use stock lug nuts and chrome sockets, but it's close - 21mm impact sockets probably won't clear, 19mm impact sockets (as used with our 19mm lug nuts) probably will, but be careful. Chrome 19mm sockets should have plenty of room.
If you choose to upgrade your wheel studs (recommended if spacers are used or if the car will see extreme use), the 1990-93 NA6 uses 0.507" studs on all four corners. Other NAs and NBs use 0.579" on the rear and 0.507" on the front.
Note that wheels are sold individually, so make sure you order 4.
Also available as a 15x9

Almost disturbingly light weight, and they look even better in person. They even wowed the tire install guys! Triple plus.
For the technically inclined, I was able to fit the 15x8s into an NB Miata with 225/45/15s without fender rolling. They clear the VMaxx, but I'm putting Konis on (they should fit as well!)
I like these wheels so much that I bought a second set for my car
Just installed the rims on my NA and can’t believe how much nicer my car looks and feels more planted in the twistiest
Finally got to install these wheels with new tires. The look is one thing but the handling difference is amazing. Great product
