What wheels are you getting?
True, 3 piece construction will make it looks smaller, are you getting works/ ssr? :)

No to be honest with you I dont think you guys will like them. They are simmons F90 and I think they will look good as they are quiet chunky. Nothing jap but still a good wheel which i have liked for ages....

I agree that the 3 piece will make it look smaller thus the choice to go 16...

I will post the pics when its done.

Those Simmons can be custom made to any offset you like (3 piece), but I'd imagine it would be super exxy.

Last time I enquired about Simmons (~2yrs ago) it was $275 per outer, in any width you wanted..

Hi Vespa, I hope that you were not planning to buy new Simmons wheels, as they have now ceased production of all wheels and appear to be close to ceasing trading. :|

Regards,
Danny

No got them on ebay!

I know they are quiet habibed out BUT they are still a nice quality wheel that i am yet to see on every mx5? I think in a +25 offset (if it fits with no rubbing) it will look real nice and tough.

Anyho, tommorw is D day and I will let you know how it goes.

I would have liked some 15"TE37s or mister S1s but do not have the coin. If i dont like them the Gamlights have not gone yet and i think they look sweet.

MX5HVN if i do need them rolled I will give you a call.... the images you are looking at are with the 15's on not the 16's.

In regards to the 16's looking huge i agreed they do look big (and not that good) but I think with the style of rim I am buying it will look good as they are a 3 pice with a chrome lip.

If i don't like the way they look I can always buy another set of gramlights:D


I am aware, but the guard gap will be similar, you need to be 1 finger or less to have rubbing issues.

Anyway, today was the big day, how did it go?
