Yes.

Yes.

A few nice little extras on that one Mon. Those rims are in demand a little though, so you might be able to sell them on here? Might be too much hassle though.

PS - It's red! Meh.

And the NB knob will fit streight into the NA.

Those rims look very nice on NAs.

Yes Squeek, your NA knob will fit the NB, and the NB knob will fit the NA. Just unscrew them. Simple.

Boags

mon , as boags said those rims look HOT on an NA.

i purchased a set of those for my na recently to replace my old rims which were very similar to yours. in my opinion, they look heaps better. if you bought that car you could swap the rims onto your na and it would look really, really nice.

remember, there is nothing wrong with having oem rims. in my opinion, most of the oem mx5 rims (except the original ones) look as good or better than the aftermarket ones that people tend to fit . but that's just me.

I take it you mean the NA6 originals? I agree, OEM 16"s are freaking schweet too.

actually, i know you are looking at trading in your NA. why not haggle with max kirwans to get them to swap the rims and geearshift as part of the deal? i reckon they would actually prefer to have your na with those nb rims on it, as i think it would be a more attractive car to most prospective buyers.

yes i mean the original 14 inch militite ripoffs.

Go the silver one at car city Mon. Looks much much nicer and it has less k's. All depending on a better inspection of course.

but think about how much you will have to pay shortly for the big service that the silver one will probably need and check that the red one has had it

The Silver one also has leather interior... Worth more

Noice cars Mon

have you talked to Mixy about all this? she can't be too happy with your plans to kick her out of home but keep her shoes & other dressing bits for the other woman..

Does that make Mon a girl who likes girls...?

Personally I don't think your rims would suit an NB as much. The new tyres will be worth over $100 each new, so that is a decent amount of money to have fork out down the track if you keep your rims. Then again, if you don't like the stockies, it'll be more to replace rims down the track.

I'd take the car with the stock rims and new tyres (with your voodoo of course) and let the bank balance settle down a bit, then look into some shmexy 15" rims later on.

Just my 2c, after all, it's your new car and your decision.

Boags

Depends also on what sort of tyres they changed them to. Most dealers put crap on to get past roadworthy and you end up wanting to get rid of them anyway. I don't think your current mags will suit as much as they did on your NA6 but I could be wrong and it depends on what sort of tyres (condition) they are in as well. Something to think about.
