Falken Hanabi anyone ?

Does anyone have Flaken Hanabi in 15x7 ? Do they fit ? Any pics ??

They seem to be a great deal but the fact that no one has them on makes me wonder....

Thank !!

A number of Miata owners are using the 15x7 Hanabi wheels, especially for autocrossing. One of the lightest 15x7 wheels available for the money, but the styling isn't for everyone.

I use them for Autox. Currently on front only as shown here. running 225/45/15 with no rubbing on lowering springs, and 205/50/15 on the back it to promote rotation. oh both are Hankook tires.

sorry no still shots.. as for the looks. The problem i have with them is that there directional twist spokes. Which makes the car look different depending on what side of the car your looking at. Besides that there a great rim.
