I got the Drag DR14'S but I think you've made a really good choice.

my friend bought a set of the dr20s from Element Motorsport for $439 shipped. Pretty good deal IMO.

ok i got the wheels and put them on todaythey look great, no pics yet. one thing i needed was spacers for the front because the inside was hitting the caliper. i believe teh guy put on a 5mm spacer and that did the trick. i used the stock tires since they were sitting around and i only used them for like a week since i had the car, so it has a little stretch to the tire. looks great sincei have the otg spacers and camber shims.no rubbing issues at all.

Got my wheels as well. No pics yet either. My suspension consists of TRD springs with Monroe Sensa Tracs on the rear and stock struts on the front.

3mm spacers were required on front to clear the brake calipers.

On front, a 205/55-15 will fit. However, on the back, the 205/55-15 rubbed on the swing arm. This is probably due to the fact that these are 7.5" wide rims. The 10mm OTG spacer probably could eliminate this problem, but unfortunately none were readily available to me. Therefore, I went with the 195/60-15s. These line up nicely with the front fender. I'm ordering the OTG spacers for the rears. I'll probably try 205/55-15s again after these new tires wear out.

the stock tire work fine and the little stretch looks good too. got alot of compliments on the wheels today.i'm running the camber because my 18's were staggered, its not needed with the 15's but i dont feel like taking them off to put them back on later.

I had the option of running the stock tires, but with the amount of daily driving with my xB, I didn't want to run the risk of running on stretched sidewalls. Plenty of guys run this way and have absolutely no problems with it, but I just didn't feel comfortable / safe with it.

I just read in a magazine not too long ago that these wheels have a special xa/xb fitment. I was just wondering what the specs/offset are on these specific ones? Anyone heard of this? This was either in the latest import tuner or HCI.

They are 15x7.5 with a 38 offset, and advertised as 'specially engineered for the xA/xB and Miata'

Wow they did a great job at screwing up the offset. They should be a +25.
