i was wondering if anyone knows where i could purchase a set of these rims.
and i also have a problem with my rims i have on now. i've only had MX-5 (1989 model) for half a year now and found that my OZ rims that i bought with my car. The rims caused the car to be unbalanced when driving on the highway which was what my mechanic told me. eg if you where looking from the back of the car, it feels like someone is pressing down on the left side and right side constantly in a slight motion not very noticeable but can be felt.
if there is a way to fix this problem without buying new rims for now that would be great.

Those wheels look like the deep dish Euro wheels favoured by the BMW E30 and VW Golf crowd. One of the brand names starts with an 'L'. Lorister?? Something like that.
Maybe keep an eye out for second hand ones on the BMW/VW forums?

Not even close. Some obscure rim.
The only way you will find out is if you can find the original article with the picture.

I do believe the Rota Cups are kinda a copy of the Work Nezarts (disregarding the line in the spokes):
