So, you may know that I recently bought an '04 Mazdaspeed Miata (turbo). They came with 17x7" cast wheels. The wheels were more of a marketing gimmick than a performance part.
Miata are not unlike Porsches, they prefer less unsprung weight. Many folks with MSM "upgrade" their cars to a light weight 15" wheel from the heavy 17" that they come with. I was no exception.
My new wheels are black Enkei 15x8" wheels, and I've got forged alloy lug nuts similar to what you'd find on a 911. I didn't weigh either set of wheels and tires, but the new set is noticeably lighter. I think the OEM wheels are 17-18# and the new wheels are 12.8#. It doesn't hurt that the new wheels look cool.
As far as the cheese goes. I was at the grocery store this weekend and grabbed a few different kinds of cheese. One of them was something called "Humboldt Fog". I'd never seen or heard of it, and I'm not usually a fan of goat milk cheese but wow, very, VERY tasty.

I highly recommend giving it a shot if you like cheese. I think I'm going to order a pound.
