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

15x8.5 +5 i can go lower but i'm happy with the ride height at this stage because it doesn't scrub and it's my daily XD

Paint looks strangely flat, Have you used a filter or something?

Really nice choice on the colour combination Lonnie, I have a set of 15x8.5 +3 rims on my nb and I agree they really set the car off without being two much trouble

Did you not have to roll your guards for that width / offset?

Sorry Shane, I'm running in my new dunlops for the 4th if dec at wakefield..!!

I'll get them up over the weekend, and make a garage thread since uni is finished for the year!

No roll needed yet, but I intend to roll to prevent big bumps cutting into the tyre wall as I havnt set my coilovers up how I would like them yet, surprisingly the nb guards have a lot more room than the na guards!

Finally got some aftermarket 15" rims.

Racing Hart M5 Monoblock, even came with some decent tread on the tyres.

Raining and yucky here today will post some better photos when the weather allows.

Not mine but shows how good ATS Cup wheels can look. From a car in Dublin, on mx5ireland.com forum. Wish I could have used this car when there earlier this year!

I figure this might inspire anyone here with a black NA/NB!
