I just bought an ITA CRX road race car, and would like to sell a few extra sets of wheels that came with the car.
2 sets of 4 wheels and tires are available.
Panasport Race Wheels in 14 x 7 size 4 x 100 bolt pattern. Very light. Never used on public roads. Some scratches here and there, but no major curb rash.
225/50/14 Hoosier R6 Tires. They have some tread left. No idea how many laps or heat cycles on them.
$350 OBO per set.
Located in Detroit Suburbs in Michigan.
What's the offset on them?

I just measured the backspacing, and it's 4.75". So, that should make the offset 1.25", or around 32 mm. Not sure if that's +32 or -32. Somebody check my math.
I want them. I have nothing that they will fit, but I swear that I will find a race car to put them on! Ok, I will at least share them with my racer buddies. Good luck with the sale.
Am I correct in thinking those will fit a Miata? If so I might want them.

They kind of make me want to build a car around them.

Well, it is very possible that you may need fender flares, or at least roll the fender lip to make them fit. Luckily, I happen to own a '90 Miata, so I can slap them on and post some pics.
In reply to Frank_and_Beans:
Just thought to check back. I was hoping for closer to 0 offset but sounds like it would work for a Miata.
Based on the info here, it looks like they should definitely work on a Miata:
"Miata wheel offset causes a lot of confusion. Here is a simple explanation. If the rim is 6 inches wide, and the mounting surface of that rim (backside of the bolt holes), is 3 inches from either outside tire bead surface, that rim has a 0 offset. To the extent that a rim's mounting plane is offset from that zero position, that offset is measured in millimeters. For the 1990-2005 Mazda Miata the factory offsets are 45mm for 14 inch wheels and 40mm for factory 15s, 16s, and 17s. Lowering the offset number from 45 to 40 to 35 is moving the wheel further outboard. Stick to the range of 38-45mm for stock height to avoid concerns with fender lip rub. Those with lowered suspensions and 1.5 negative camber or better can pick a more aggressive offsets like 35-38mm and still clear factory fender lips easily with 195/50/15 or 205/50/15 tires. Offsets lower than 35mm will often require fender lip roll, particularly on the NA generation Miata (1990-1997). Those looking to have the wheels flush with the rolled fender lips will often pick even more aggressive 20mm to 30mm choices. Spec Miata racers are usually using 25mm offsets. "
In reply to pilotbraden:
If they are 32mm offset they'll fit a Miata easily....and would look really, really cool. That last part is just to enable you, that's what we do around here.
Edit: I suspect the offset is closer to 18-20mm though. A 7" wheel will be very close to 7 7/8" wide over the flanges, so the 4.75" backspace will work out to about 20mm. It depends where the backspace was measured from. They'll still fit though. I have 25mm wheels on my NB and they're no where near rubbing.
Are they not marked with an ET number on the back?
In reply to Stampie:
I have a set of Panasports and they don't have the offset marked on them, unfortunately.
In reply to DeadSkunk:
That sucks
OK guys, don't laugh too hard. I took some pics of the wheels on my miata. The laughable part is that my Miata also happens to be my rallycross car, so has higher than stock ride height.
See here: Panasport Wheels on Miata
Conclusion: They definately fit a Miata. I'm pretty sure you would need to roll your fenders for clearance though. And, they look like crap on a lifted car.
With a narrower tire I'll bet the fenders would be OK without rolling. 225s on a 7" rim is a squeeze.
Holy crap I want these in place of my current narrower/higher offset Panasports 
Couldn't hand pick a worse time though, so you guys should buy these up and get them out of my head.
Price drop to $350 per set.
Ooh damn. I really wish I had some money to spare right now
