See http://www.good-win-racing.com/Mazda-Performance-Part/61-1368.html

They're quite cheap compared to other 15x8s and they look "orright" (a bit like ROTA Grids).

"Wheel whores" please apply.


they do look good and the price is right.
Anyone know the rough cost of freight for wheels to Sydney?


I was thinking about this one before i got mine, but it is $50 more, set of 4 will be $200 more, can't afford it :P

Just putting this out there but the wheels above don't look like Rays Volk TE37's (or *shudder* Rota Grids as referred). They are knock offs of Spoon SW388's or Desmond Regamasters.

These are my 17x7. I bought these for my SE back in 05 to replace the soft as cheese OE wheels which I buckled on two occasions. I kept me when I sold that car, something told me if wouldn't be the last MX5 I would own.

Nice, at least they look like the Racing Hart rims!
What brand/model are they? How long ago did you get them?

Thanks, I got these in 2005. A friend of mine owns a wheel importing company. He sourced them for me so as such I don't know who made them or a make/model. The downside is that if anything ever happens to one of these I'm in strife.
