they will fit no worries, NA8's came standard with 14inch wheels, so 15's will clear the brakes no worries... I have been looking at getting a set for a while, i just havent bit the bullet yet.

I love these ones..

You would need to get the +40 offset versions, 0 offset ones are no good for an mx5..

hope i could help u out..

cheers

For my taste, they look a bit "Mini-Cooper-y", like the spokes don't arch enough and the face of the wheel is a bit too flat...and it's hard to tell from this angle, but I get the feeling that the hub sticks out, and then the spokes go back (like a conical shape in plan view). So it's like a reverse-dish.

They even have an MX-5 on their home page! They make custom wheels so you should be able to order whatever you want in terms of size & offset. I know they have an aussie distributer - but can't remember who it is. Doubt they are cheap though...

RS-Watanabe does 16s too:

I think this guy has +40 offset wheels and he's just plonked on huge spacers to push them out to the guards...Watanabe does do 16x7 in +25 and +30 offsets which would give more dish to the look of the wheel (they also do 16x8.5 down to a +5 offset!!)
