Unfortunately not...my 18s are bricks so the Koseis (17s) will stay on as track day wheels. The car feels much "lighter" with them, less torque steer, etc.
I mentioned the Miata crowd as perhaps there are some units to be had on their forums?

Thanks a lot. I really don't want to hijack this thread but would the Kosei's work well as daily driver wheels?
