NA's Show off your rims!
The fronts are 15 x 7 about +15 with 8mm spacers to clear the brakes
Rears are 15 x 7.5 about +10
AFAIK they are alloy, which I think is good since they are my road wheels and I live in QLD, im pretty sure if they were mag they would be dead in a matter of weeks.
They sit great on the car, the top of the 195 just tucked into the lipped guard on the rear
I will have to get some better shots of them when I get a chance at some piont.

Here's a little teaser. They're Auscar rims I bought from redmx5racing (Thanks), they needed a good gutter rash repair and well I thought I might as well change the colour.

They are Enkei's, 15x6.5's, I like how they have a chrome band and silver painted center, makes them almost look 2 piece. I have no idea what their named tho, i can't seem to find them online anywhere. the car is an import and these were on it when it hit the country.

Did the NB8A rims come in 14's and 15's?
Ive seen some with fat and some with skinny spokes.. but both are NB8A rims?
in australia the nb8a came with 15's only. however, in japan (and possibly some other markets) the nb8a also came with 14's , and yes they are basically the same design / style. i think the spokes just appear to be fatter coz the wheel is smaller.... i could be wrong tho.
the 14's are not very common at all in australia, altho i know mx5plus have imported some and have them for sale.

Yeah about 1.5". After changing the rims i found it exadurated the height of it and needed a slight drop all round.
