Apart from MX5Mania of course can someone please put me out of my misery and point me to where you will get a range of 15 and 16 inch lightweight wheels suitable for an MX5 in the Sydney area, preferably Japanese wheels.

BTW im not interested in any hideous chrome looking wheels that seem to be so common everywhere i look.

Have a look at these

Then shoot Jasse Streeter an email. He is the man. He makes importing wheels easy. 6 weeks for my order delivered.

Or try importmonster for second hand and hope they are not bent and you could get a set of tyres thrown in as well/

You sound as fussy as me about wheels! Thanks for the info some good links there.

Another thing im noticing is when i bought my car (nb) with 15,s around 6 years ago people were putting 16/17 inch wheels on their cars now im seeing more people go for the 15's.

try joining more forums like jdmstyletuning.com

i waited 3 years to find my work meisters. spotted them on importmonster. very rare that you find wheels you fall in love with at first sight that also have specs you are after.

any particular style of rims? specific size and offset?

The deed is done, ive ordered some Enkei's from the US, 15" RP-F1's, i even chose the 45mm offset to save a few grams of weight over the 35's, thats how anal i am!

I havnt seen many people with the Enkeis on NB's.

I believe 15" 4x100 Enkei RP-F1 only come in 35mm or 41mm offset. I'm surprised you found them in 45mm offset. I don't think they exist. Correct me if I'm wrong.

You are 100% correct, typo from me, 41mm.

Good to see you found some wheels.
