Don't you just love that feeling when you fork over your hard earned cash for a set of Enkei RPF1s for your Mx5 only to have them shipped to your door with the correct PCD 114.3 stamped on the box and inside 3 of the wheels concur, BUT low and behold one has PCD 100 on the sticker..

Ummmm, I'm really hoping it's the other way around

PCD of 100 is what our little cars eat.

and I'd have a look at what in the castings of the rims too, stickers may be wrong but the casting shouldn't lie.

Plus, I'd be a bit more pissed if they had five holes in them :(
Went for a drive and there were slow cars everywhere, why are NC's so common . . . must be NC = Normally Cardiganed.

I am pretty sure that lucifuge has an NC which is 5x114.3 PCD +55 ET from factory. :mrgreen:

Yeh don't trust the sticker. Pull out a ruler and measure the PCD for yourself.

Ah, Then he has wheels for one of the BIG little cars then, that 5th stud adds sooooo much weight, Wun wouldn't be pleased.

Yummy wheels no less though.
