| rpf1 vs sportmax 002
i'm stuck on which wheels to go for (this is for a NA miata):
some notes on why i'm picking between these two:
sportmax 002 (would like to paint them in black):
+ cheaper
+ 15x8 0 or +15 offset
- fender rolling is required
- need to paint it black
- made in china
rpf1 (black):
+ lightweight
+ no fender rolling required
- 15x7 +35 offset (not as aggressive)
- not sure if i will like the look
which route would you go for? looks vs practicality...
i'm horrible at deciding.
thanks for any inputs.

If you have answered no to either of these questions then get the cheap ones.

Those RPF01's are WEAK sizing
The Sportmaxx's are better sizing however they are played the fuck out.
Unfortunately, fitment > originality....go with the sportmaxx and man up and roll.

weight, your NA miata, has the lowest amount of torque i've ever driven. I believe the RPFs weigh less. So i would go for hte RPF

I'd pick the sport maxx, just cause it has a better sizing. rpf1 are played out imo, and the sportmaxx will give a miata a better stance imo
