This particular vehicle’s original paint from 1997 is unbelievably well-preserved.

More on Enkei RPF1 wheels:
These are special edition wheels, only available in Japan and no longer sold in this color combination (black center with brushed lip). The "185-Special" was designed for the Miata market, and it was meant to be paired with the 185/60 tire size. This was/is understood to be the best compromise between weight, grip, and aesthetics among Miata owners (in Japan).
