The arty bit:

Image

Have posted these previously (on page 58), but that was almost two years ago and now I know what they are, rather than guessing.

AME Tracer TSSC
- 15 x 7
- ET 35
- 4.6 kg
- manufactured Jun 2002
- Speedy wheel nuts
- handmade centre caps

The bit I got right back then is that they're made by Enkei. To me they look like the love child of an RPF1 and PF01 :)

Well what about some 13x5 inch, Australian made steel wheels from an AE101 Corolla, with genuine Bridgestone Steelcats in a ride smoothing 165/75 sizing. Take that pretty people.

thats changed now.

I've had them sitting there for about 2 mths......but to day I could wait no more

I was thinking spacers to make the wheels fill out the guards more.....but that may mean rolling the guards. Unfortunately thats totally out of the question.

IMO, these are the best looking of the factory MX5 rims, they look light and sculpted without being vulgar.

Agreed, but they look better on a lowered NA than on the NB, as proven on Patchy above.

Well thank you chaps

Those wheels are still on Patchy. I also feel 16 inch is the best proportional size on an Na. Although choice in 15" rubber is far bigger
