Hi Mikey,
Welcome to our obsession. If you have 15 inch wheels on your 91. these are not standard. From 1989 to 1998 the wheels were 14 inch. From 1998 to about 2001 they were 15 inch. From 2001 to 2005 they were 16 inch. All of the newer wheels a re a straight fit for the earlier models, but the earlier wheels do not fit the later (2001 onwards) models due to these having bigger brakes.
Also, the standard wheels on the MX-5 are amongest the lightest available and unless you pay for a decent set of replacement wheels you may affect the handling and ride comfort of your car for the worst.
Come along to a club run and have a chat to the guys and girls. Better to see what is best for your car than spend money only to go backwards. There is a run this Sunday (2 July) and one on the first Sunday of every month.

Mikey, make sure you're sitting down when you look at the price. Over $400 per rim which is no good unless you have a never ending wallet, which you (nor I) don't.
