MAZDASPEED MOTORSPORTS DEVELOPMENT

5Zigen has partnered with MAZDASPEED MOTORSPORTS DEVELOPMENT to create a special version of their popular “FN01R-C Hot Version” wheel specifically for Spec Miata drivers.

This wheel is a 15″ x 7″ wheel with a 25mm offset - the maximum legally allowed. Weighing in at just over 13 lbs. The wheel has a matt black finish and should be in stock starting in January.

Tim has run this wheel on his own Spec Miatas for two seasons now.  He has found them to be strong and easy to clean as well as good looking.

You can order it online now under part number 0000-04-5801. Priced at $148.00 each.
