Damn, they look good on there! I almost wish I'd left my orange lenses on instead of going all clear

fitment is almost perfect, ive got some 5mm and 8mm slip on's lying around, so when i get around to rolling the guards ill see if i can push them out a little bit more. huge difference to stockies though

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.

mate those wheels are absolutely amazing. this has been my dream for over 6 months now. i have been unable to find a decent set to date.

one guy in perth was recently selling a set with heaps of tread but i was a bit slack in the money department. oh im getting there. neearly done.

btw those are 16 inch arent they? they dont come any bigger do they.?

Why would you want the 16's, you already have the best MX5 stockies

its all about the cosmetics.

Yeah, and the 15's look better than the 16's. The 16's look a bit like ROH's, the 15's look like Porsche wheels

wheels are a very personal choice. Very subjective too. In my own opinion 16's look the best on the NA's. In the 15's the tyre choice is much bigger. The OEM 15" rims are also very light. Each to their own. For me its also athetics as long as I can get decent rubber for it. Which nowdays......I can :mrgreen:

Hmm, I just saw yakob's garage thread, now I think the 6's would actually suit him quite well

to be completely honest adam, i think they have potential, but they are a little rough on the edges, e.g size and roundness. if they were flat and big i would be in love. i guess its all down to style.. i like bigger more filling rims, you may be into smaller racing style. capish?
