I don't think everyone wants to wait two years for something decent to turn up in 4x100 and have to import it from Japan and have to worry about costs of shipping and waiting on them to rock up :lol: :lol:

Just get PCD converters and you are set.

4x100 is hard to get these days, so 4x114.3 wheels are more common (AE86, S13 etc).

Not as easy as bolting up 4x100's but it's not impossible.

Where can I find a converter because I've still not seen one before?

Nice thought, but they do not do an adaptor for mx-5/323 to 4x114.3 so scratch that one.

Fabulous wheels those formula mesh, heard they aren't making them anymore. :o

I thought spacers were illegal throughout Australia?
I know my insurance company will ping you for them.
Oh dear, the wick in the engine's gone out.
