The RML concept transcends all different makes of vehicles, and to prove this we've chosen to put our spin on another iconic design - the OE Mazda Miata MX-5 (NA chassis) wheel, affectionately known as the Daisy.
Evocative of some old-school designs from the '60s and '70s by aftermarket wheel manufacturers such as Minilite and Panasport, the original Miata wheel was only available in a 14x5.5 size. It suited the minimalist 116-hp Miata roadster concept perfectly, but in today's world where thousands of those same Miatas have been upgraded with at least double that amount of power, those OG 14" wheels simply don't clear the bigger brakes and wider tires these owners require.
As with all our other RML designs, we've worked hard to maintain all the OE features and details of the original 14x5.5 wheel, but reimagined them to suit our new 15x8 ET30 dimensions. We've engineered the new wheel for maximum brake clearance, and our casting method is via flow-form technology. This tech is more costly than traditional methods used by most other companies, but it does consistently provide for a lighter (15-lb) and stronger wheel (the remaining number of 116-hp Miatas out there will especially appreciate this).
The RML wheel will have a center cap as depicted in the rendering, but the size and mounting details will be the same as the original 14" Daisy wheel, meaning that OE Miata center caps will fit the 15" RML wheel (new OEM Miata caps will be available for purchase separately in the Merchadise section of our website).
