Well, if black with polished lip qualifies as two tone, then these are my favorite two tone wheels:PATDIESEL wrote:UGLY, I hate the two tone wheels. Why have a black part if you cannot barely see it...

No, I mean one spoke black and one chrome, or a black face with chrome sides to a spoke.
As for the ones you are looking at Lakers, be careful. The way the lip is machined (flat and curves over the tire bead) It is meant to make the wheel look larger on a tire. A good thing. However, one good bump in the road at a fast speed or a high curb and they will look like trash. With the lip being so thin and high it is doubtful to be repairable if you damage it.

Not my cup of tea.. I am partial to these rims..
http://www.good-win-racing.com/mazda/miata/21-1045.html
only 11.4 lbs each.. and only $90 each. And they look good. They come in the silver, bronze and black. Though the black ones are $100 each. I am quoting prices for the 15X6.5 sizes. I am still somewhat deciding on silver or black for my GS

I think that'd be more a concern with 17's or 18's, which I'd never put on my car in the first place.PATDIESEL wrote:No, I mean one spoke black and one chrome, or a black face with chrome sides to a spoke.

I'd probably have to cut the fenders and throw on flares to fit these, but I just love how they look

They would look even better on a Miata, but I still think they'd look good on an Mx3. +0 offset!!

The first set of rims you linked are good if you are into the hole porno style-zebra skin/tiger stuff. otherwise its
5 spoke all the way if you can find them.
