I mentioned this earlier, but I now have more information.
On the miata forums lately there has been discussion, of toyo making a 225/45/15 RA1. Well Toyo is now going to do it, the only problem is that there are not many wheel makers out there who are making a light weight 15x8 wheel. On the miata forum they have been working on getting vendors to talk to a few manufactures. The idea would be to make 15x8 +35mm offset to run a 225/45R15. It would be dope if we could get a cheap and light 15x8, the problem is the cost would proabably be pretty high to do a small production run, but if the honda crowd was in along with the miata crowd, and some vendors wanted in on it then the cost could be justified to get a light 12# 15x8 wheel on the market. Is anyone interested in this?
