The website only lists 114.3/4.

Was good to see an MX-5 on their site ..

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

genuine hayashi yayoi's don't come in 4x100, the width and negative offsets wouldn't fit an mx5.

But the closest you can get to them are "r-pride", but they dont have the dish.

There are a one or two cars floating around running these, but I believe they are running conversion spacers. I'll see if I can dig up the picture once I'm home.

If you were able to find away around converting the MX5's wheel hub to 4x114.3 (without bolting a 25 or 30mm spacer on) you should be able to run the 14x8 -11 with flares. Would probably be able to pull off the 14x9 -14 also if you had some big flares/stretched tyres/etc. Would look extremely epic in my opinion :lol:. Don't think you'd have any luck with 14x12 -62 though :shock: Seriously, what car would that fit on...

Yayoi/sakura's don't come in 4x100....

The pair of 14x13's I posted are worth $4000

A pair at $4K?! Would a set of custom Simmons (if they still existed) be cheaper than that?

(yeah I realise that its from last year :P)

Also found this image:

Not sure if they are genuine or not but there is no way that they are 14x8 -11 (as seen in the link above). Could it possibly be a 4x100 replica? :roll: lol
