Oh yeah, no question that the Miata is very sensitive to over-sized 
wheels. The 16X7's that I have are very lightweight, but the car does 
lose some of the "tossability" that the original width wheels and tire 
provide.

Going from 14 to 15 inches won't hurt anything as long as you don't take 
the weight up too much and stay with the stock 45mm offset.
Same with 16's. The main change comes from using wider wheels and tires 
like I have.

I notice a small change when I put my 15X6" alloys on. The 15X6's are a 
little heavier than the 16X7's, but the car still becomes a bit more 
nimble with the narrower wheel and tire.
