What size are these? Brand and offset?

They look like 16x7 and +40 offset. BBS but not sure what type of BBS

Ha! just found this post in a search. They're BBS RG-F 16x7 +35 with black center caps (I wish they were red), 5.8kgs each. If anyone is interested in a swap, they're in near perfect condition & plenty of tread left, in Brisbane PM me.

This is my car now, dirty:

just waiting on the delivery of OEM large side skirts & a bigger exhaust.

Gold rims on black, looks excellent!
I had those rims (well, knock off ones :oops:

) years ago (not on an mx5) look great but pain to clean (mine were white back then too so even harder to keep clean)

Looks good, great light wheels and sticky tyres must make a nice difference.

Looks like they fit over the NB8B brakes with no issues? Did you get them from MX5 Parts or somewhere else?

Yes, cleared the brakes fine as you can see from another head-on photo here. Got them from tirerack.com - I ask them for the cheapest/slower shipping.
Very happy with how light they are - 10 lbs each.

Hey markwid, they told me there was no cheaper option than the standard ups/whatever they initially offer.
Do you mind sharing what service and price?

All done by tirerack. I looked up the invoice. The shipping was via FedEx INTL Economy - USD 240 for the set of 4 wheels.

How much is the quote you got?

I got this from Tire Rack a couple of weeks ago.

Hi Richard,

Thanks for the question, sorry for the delay. The Tire Rack cannot export Yokohama tires, sorry. Let me know if you would be interested in another brand. Our least expensive shipping is FedEx International Economy (6 Day) and for four tires this size the cost is approximately $280.

Thank you,
Seth

Ahhhh okay that's what they quoted me without me asking for the cheapest, so I thought there was a step below cost wise.
Still reasonable considering it's only twice what it costs to ship a set of wheels from Syd to Melb.
