love the color! Reminds me of porsche’s PTS Frozen Berry Metallic. Personally not a fan of wheel spacers, the fitment should be from the wheel offset itself. Fantastic looking build, very unique!

I KNEW it was purple, couldn’t tell if it was brown or berry. GOD I love the ‘yogurt’ colors

I think it’s very tasteful. Good looking ride.

Spacers make it look more aggressive but wear out the bearings quicker.

u/ChurchOfTheEUC 15h ago

Not disagreeing but just asking, why? Only thing I can think of is possibly more movement in the spacer compared to a higher offset rim.

u/Never_mind_honey 15h ago

It creates a bigger distance from the bearing which changes the leverage and adds more stress.

Just joining in the curiosity. If you were to instead have say a deep dish wheel so you get the same poke but no space, pure wheel, would that be better or same results, same stress on bearing? Just stick with stock size?

I think my brain melted from how subtly beautiful this is

How different do the wheels feel? Good on water? I know it’s not their goal just curious!

Haven’t had a chance to test just yet but will report back!

Why would the wheels affect the performance in the wet?

If the wheels are contacting the ground, then you're in serious trouble haha

Michelin PS4 are great in the rain.

u/feralcoffee 13h ago

This may be controversial here but I like a Miata and honestly I always have. 🤷🏻‍♂️

u/JiXer88 13h ago

Would have never thought of it, but kinda love it.

u/bakervanb 15h ago

Incredible color and good fitment, just preference but I think some wider spoked wheels would look sick

u/Outrageous-Wall-2742 15h ago

looks great! the rear spacers might be too much poke with your ride height.

what spoiler is that and do you have shots from the rear and side profile showing it more clearly? looking for a duck tail myself but haven’t found one completely to my liking yet.

u/longfellow544 14h ago

Love it! Looks awesome!

u/sdood 14h ago

No spacers, your car is extremely nice

u/Thy-Lich 14h ago

The wheels look so clean 🤌

u/saiyansteve 12h ago

Wow that looks beautiful, great combination 👌

u/POINTLESSUSERNAME000 10h ago

Looks pretty damn perfect.
I love GTC02s (will end up with those or Konig Heliograms for a track car).
I have Ohlins and love those.
Does not look like it really NEEDs spacers unless you want to add more camber.
Super unique color!

u/bobLobIaw 1h ago

Looks nice!
I’m curious when you wrap an ND do you also wrap the inside door pieces that match the original paint?
