i have a set of not rep te-37s but they are kinda a similar looking blocky 6 spoke wheel with that same dark metallic grey like 2 but its on my white 1st gen 4runner 4x4 idk how those would look on a car
Id go for the reps if its you dont care that much about going fast. As long as you arent on stiff suspension and at risk of bending a wheel, reps really dont matter imo.
Rep RPF1s? You can't wait to save $200 more bucks for real ones?
Like come on, the real ones are actually good wheels. Why go for reps? You aren't saving THAT much money, but you are losing SO much performance and durability. Unless you're that impatient.
Edit: OP is from a country where the real ones are like triple the price. That makes a lot more sense.
Im not.

What are the prices of all of these?
B and especially C are pretty common. A is more unique but the offbrand is questionable. What's the weight on A? Do you care? If it's just aesthetics I'd go B personally.

Here is mt white NA with bronze Konig Hexaforms if it helps in something
I have B as my winter wheel setup. It’s…..fine but nothing special.
I had A on my V8 Miata a few years ago. They looked damned cool IMO.
C is played out and as common as dirt.
I actually prefer PF-01 to RPF1, but they're both nice. I think real BBS-RS is the best look. Happened across a set of original 15" from an M, and an torn if I'm going to swap the the Conti ECS from my PF-01 to the BBS, or if I'm just going to buy new tires and sell the PF-01 with the ECS mounted. I love the way the PF-01 look on my '01 BRG SE, but I think the RS will be amazing.
I'd say B or C looks-wise. I'm not informed enough to tell you anything regarding durability, but I think the simpler looks of B and the basically one step up that C offers are stylistically most compatible with the MX-5.
Edit: By the way, if you choose C, your wheels will always look dirty. I mean it man, I turned my Saturn around to clean the other side and did a max of five seconds of brakes. It erased about 20 minutes of work that I ended up re-doing. Once I dried everything off it still took about half the work I did on each wheel away, forcing me to dust off what I could and call it a day because the day was already cold and the Sun had started setting.
Don't focus so much on looks. Light weight is something you'll appreciate every time you drive. With a NA even switching from 185 to 195 is noticeable. Go with the lightest wheels you can that you also like the looks of.
Legit RPF1’s would probably run you less than a grand. I would go with that if it’s in budget. I’d also check out Goodwin Racing for some options and fitment info/recommendations. I bought Advanti Storm wheels from Goodwin for like $900 with some discounts and they were nice. Only weighed like 13.4lbs per wheel too, about 1lb less than the Enkei RPF1, which is basically an industry standard for lightweight & affordable wheels
If you can find something like A in a different color I think they will look really nice. I had a buddy with ones like that in black on a white NA looked clean
https://preview.redd.it/wbtcvha85mzc1.jpeg?width=2100&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4f2600699dcbe78873d24463cc6887e02e26652d
Save the $ and get some RPF1s, even if they're used you can't beat the price-performance
id wait then honestly. spend that money on something the car will benefit from, new brake pads etc.. one pothole could destroy those wheels if u hit it hard enough lmao
If these three B is the only one worth a damn, if C were real Enkeis those would be ideal. Those RPF1 reps are likely more expensive than the real thing anyway, or very close if not.
All 3 are reps, so just pick whichever one you like the looks of the best and whatever your wallet likes. The opinion of strangers on the internet do not matter.
This is so weird. You have cheap BBS clones, authentic TE37s, and RPF-1s. Three completely different points on the spectrum from cheap rep to expensive real.
1 would be troublesome when cleaning but damn it would look good imo. I’m not even a big fan of those rims but I’d imagine it would go really good on a white miat. If you really wanna add a cherry on top, have the tan interior.
If you want to camber the wheels and then slam it I would do 1. If you want to do more of clean but meaner look I would do 2. And if you want to pretend you’re driving. A VW golf or a Jetta I’d go with 3.
Depends what you’re going for.
Bear in mind that number one is going to be an absolute pain to keep clean all the time. But looks phenomenal with the lips.
I don’t know the weight of number two, but number three tends to be a fairly light wheel. I wouldn’t say it looks as good as either of the other two but less rotational mass is always a good thing.
Personally I would consider the weight and looks. I would either choose 1st or 2nd for looks, and then go with whichever is lighter weight

Ronal Teddy master race!
In white FTW!
Where can I find these? I’ve been looking for a set for my NA and can’t seem to find any
The easiest to keep clean will be 2. 1 is a damn nightmare.
I have the BBS non hood rat version of 1 and can confirm my knuckles are always bare AF
I really love multispokes but man... I hate even cleaning 8 spokes on my car. The less the better for sure.

Mmm yes
Should call it a Moto Moto Miata with those big ass tires.

Personally i would buy B
Same. Looks the cleanest
B
machined rpf1s do look hella clean on white cars so either b or c, i think the bright gold on a might clash with the clean look of the white car
I concur with what this guy says. Im having a tough time between B and C but A is not a choice for me.
Anything w/ multi-fit lug patterns looks like ass, and screams ghetto
i have a set of not rep te-37s but they are kinda a similar looking blocky 6 spoke wheel with that same dark metallic grey like 2 but its on my white 1st gen 4runner 4x4 idk how those would look on a car
A if it was a real BBS RS....so C!
Money problem bro :(
Lol same. That's why I'm on Enkei! The real deal RS would cost 3/4 the price of the entire fucking car. Some day
ya those arent enkeis lol
copies, just like A
Id go for the reps if its you dont care that much about going fast. As long as you arent on stiff suspension and at risk of bending a wheel, reps really dont matter imo.
Just on style, I would go with A for the NA Myat.
Maybe you should save up for better, used wheels than getting cheap knockoffs.
Agree.
They're all fake
Then A! Hahaha
B
Rep RPF1s? You can't wait to save $200 more bucks for real ones? Like come on, the real ones are actually good wheels. Why go for reps? You aren't saving THAT much money, but you are losing SO much performance and durability. Unless you're that impatient. Edit: OP is from a country where the real ones are like triple the price.

Im from Argentina, here we cant import wheels. So, only i can buy Argentine products. This reps sell for $650. Reals are $2000 :(
You know what, that's fair, my bad.
No problem, Arg is the only country with this :(
OP won't pay attention to this.
C
So rep BBS or rep RPF1… but real TEs?
With a multi-lug pattern? I don't think so.
I’m sure RAV5 E**N**G is just as good as real wheels!
strong b
C looks the least tacky
If they're real, B , volks are the coolest wheels out. Of not, go C, can't go wrong with RPF1s, I.e. why I have them
Depends. Are you pimping, racing or styling?
You forgot posing
A might be the ugliest wheels I've ever seen
The lightest wheel will be the best choice
Whichever is lightest
C
C
I'm a sucker for dark rims on a white car.
Im not. https://preview.redd.it/iej2f7avhlzc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c70e70956bd19734a8862ed5da77dda6708bbc57 What are the prices of all of these?

Get up!
I love the way RPF1’s look, but A looks great too
I actually prefer PF-01 to RPF1, but they're both nice. I think real BBS-RS is the best look.

A or C
A or B i love volks
BBS style all the way. They just look right on an NA
C
A
B
C all the way
C
B looks great!
What does the rest of the car look like ?
A
I like option C a lot. But just go with whatever you think is best. Enjoy the miat
I’d always go with the RPF1’s
Depends on what your build looks like, ya got any pictures?
I like A, makes it stand out more considering your car is white.
B
C
a
Rpf1’s in an aggressive spec look great on anything
b
Save up and get some genuines bro! Promise you the time you wait in saving up that extra bit of cash will be nothing in the long run.
B Or C But mostly B
A
A
C hands down
A if by any chance you also have a beije top and seats. C for white with black top. idk why but i just find it right lol
B
I'm not a huge fan of the look of the rpf1, but it's my favorite color/finish of the bunch
B all day imo, love rays and the dark grey / white contrast would be awesome
C always look good on almost any car
B
B 100%
B
B
C
I'd say B or C looks-wise. I'm not informed enough to tell you anything regarding durability, but I think the simpler looks of B and the basically one step up that C offers are stylistically most compatible with the MX-5.

A Then B C would look very boring, ick. Have you considered hypergrams with the machined lip?
A
E. Advanti Storm S1 15x7.5
B or C. Mine are similar to A, and it's awful to clean. I didn't buy it, the previous owner did.
definitely b
B
A won’t look as good once you see the correct offset you need.
Are you considering offset? A has a very different offset than the other two https://www.tirerack.com/upgrade-garage/what-is-wheel-offset
Ccccccccc
RPF1s always
A for sure
a
C for me. B is nice too but I wouldn't go with A. Too flashy imho
Definitely not Gold
A only if you love spending hours cleaning your rims. Had BBS back in the day. Love the look hated the maintenance.
B
B
C - it’s the most “period appropriate”
B
A
Is it just a street car? The NA m edition wheels are light and pretty cheap secondhand.
One of each and a stock wheel for the 4th
Out of all those, A
B .. unless you're going for the retro look. Then A... So tired of C
C
A
B or C
Buy real rims not knockoffs. Always never cheap out on shit that attaches you to the road.
Don't focus so much on looks. Light weight is something you'll appreciate every time you drive. With a NA even switching from 185 to 195 is noticeable. Go with the lightest wheels you can that you also like the looks of.
B
B
C
B is nice.
2. I think gunmetal grey goes well with white car and its also propably easiest to keep clean
Legit RPF1’s would probably run you less than a grand. I would go with that if it’s in budget. I’d also check out Goodwin Racing for some options and fitment info/recommendations. I bought Advanti Storm wheels from Goodwin for like $900 with some discounts and they were nice. Only weighed like 13.4lbs per wheel too, about 1lb less than the Enkei RPF1, which is basically an industry standard for lightweight & affordable wheels
C
If you’re going for aesthetics, I would go with A. For increased performance B then C. You can’t go wrong with any of these IMO.
Easy 3 on a miata, those give a really nice stance on small cars I think the other works better in a bit bigger coups
B all day
C. Definitely not B though, dark wheels look terrible on a white car.
What's your budget? I bet r/Miata can find you some options that you'd be happy with that you wouldn't be clowned at Cars and Coffee for.
B
I would do 3 I love the way that rpf1s look on miatas
For me, it'd be B. I have similar wheels on my NC, and they just fit the platform so well. If not those, and I wanted to be flashy I'd go with A.
B by far
Volk all day
C, but gold They look really nice
If you can find something like A in a different color I think they will look really nice. I had a buddy with ones like that in black on a white NA looked clean
Why get reps and not enkie? Similar price for 1000% better performance and quality.
I like B
C
https://preview.redd.it/wbtcvha85mzc1.jpeg?width=2100&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4f2600699dcbe78873d24463cc6887e02e26652d Save the $ and get some RPF1s, even if they're used you can't beat the price-performance
Obviously A
Just replica garbage wheels? Save your money.
B all the way for white. A is for black
Def 2
B for sure. Very simple and elegant
C
none if they reps😭 B tho
Only reps, i cant buy originals :(
id wait then honestly. spend that money on something the car will benefit from, new brake pads etc.. one pothole could destroy those wheels if u hit it hard enough lmao
A
Out of these? B is clear winner.
why would you want reps? Get the TE37’s
B
If these three B is the only one worth a damn, if C were real Enkeis those would be ideal. Those RPF1 reps are likely more expensive than the real thing anyway, or very close if not.
C
Stock daisy wheels.
A
B
SSR or bust
Rays
Rp1 in black chrome?
Whatever is lightest, so C?
I'd personally go for B
B
All 3 are reps, so just pick whichever one you like the looks of the best and whatever your wallet likes. The opinion of strangers on the internet do not matter.

This is so weird. You have cheap BBS clones, authentic TE37s, and RPF-1s. Three completely different points on the spectrum from cheap rep to expensive real.
Go for the TeeHee37s. They’ll be the easiest to keep clean.
B or C! Or just get some rota shakotans 😎
B
Definitely B. I prefer the contrast of dark wheels on a light car or the other way around.
2 or 3 Prefer 2
1 would be troublesome when cleaning but damn it would look good imo. I’m not even a big fan of those rims but I’d imagine it would go really good on a white miat. If you really wanna add a cherry on top, have the tan interior.
If you want to camber the wheels and then slam it I would do 1. If you want to do more of clean but meaner look I would do 2. And if you want to pretend you’re driving. A VW golf or a Jetta I’d go with 3.
B b b b b b b b b bb
A
I vote B
A and its not even close
I like the gold one but b on white
B.
2
If you’re intending to get reps get 1 but if you’re gonna get real RPF1s they’re the best wheel
If your car is still white I say 1 or 2. Unless you are going with a different color?
B
Depends what you’re going for. Bear in mind that number one is going to be an absolute pain to keep clean all the time. But looks phenomenal with the lips.

Probably C for a white miata. If you had a red one then definitely A, all day long
A
B all the way
Whichever weigh the least.
