Did I miss something? I read that the Team Dynamics wheel has a 54mm center bore,and a B14 is 59mm.Do they make one with a different center bore to fit,or am I just wrong? I hope I'm wrong,because I may get a set for daily driving.

..but for whatever reason, they are very hard to come by here in the USA anyway

dunno why.. it just is.... Probably because most vendors in the USA are Miata specific and sell only Miata OR BMW 57.1 center bore ones (Spec E30 wheels are 57.1 center bore specific... I know because I accidentally owned a set in the past but they worked fine on our former Miata so I wasn't worried about it)

Mazda Parts from Good-Win Racing - Mazda Performance Specialists has the 73mm center bore. But it is true that stock can be low. They are a popular wheel and coming from England, it can be a long waiting period. good-win did not have the first choice in color that I wanted, would be 6-8 weeks. I run a hub centric ring to adapt the sentras hub diameter to fit the wheels bore. Around 6 bucks on ebay.

^ they no longer list the 'generic' center bore ET38 15x7 Team Dynamic wheel as available on their website but yes, I waited almost 4 months to get a set myself (back when they were actually listed as available FS that is). I believe the loooooong wait is what might have prompted them to removed them from their website 'availability'

Everyone has their own idea on what looks good, but for me, I'll stick with the classics, that hit the sweet spot between strength, weight and cost, like Kosei K1, Enkei RPF1, or the old stand by, stock B14 wheels. There's a reason they've been around since the dawn of time. While Rotas come and go, and meshies fall in and out of style, I always give respect to a car running legit wheels.

The new Advanti & Konig wheels look better than many of the newcomers, I'm just not sure their style will stand the test of time.
