Ah, another advantage on an older car: cheap stock wheels.<G> Stock Miata
wheels can be found at:

Miata.net/classifieds (There you'll find num-brained '99 Miata owners that
are replacing their stock 15's with 16, 17 or 18 inch wheels and want to
dump the stockers.)

Mazda salvage yards (although it may be a little early to find wrecked
99's, you can give it a shot)

Roebuck Mazda in Birmingham AL (Cheaper Mazda Miata parts than anyone I've
yet found, I bought a set of NEW 91 white alloys from them for $70 each.)

Aftermarket wheels (Get some 15's in a style you like and switch your
street tires over to them, put your race tires on your stock alloys)
