They are a Remotec Type A.

Made in Germany, 15 x 7 et 37. Black background and machined face, coated.


Reportedly Remotec had the initial design for the snowflakes and the Borbet Type A.. and later sold it off to Borbet and BBS..

PS, anyone interested in Remotec or Ronal/Speedline wheels? i have a contact who is very very good to deal with

Bought some wheels out of Japan, factory NA wheel, really light, apparently they are off an NA Limited Edition 'VR'. Just had them powder coated black. Going on car soon. May have another set coming if anyone is interested.

Are these the same wheels?

I started with the stock Na rims but they were replaced with the stock Nb8a rims to be later replaced with the bob jane rims!

Looking for pics of these; I noticed these for sale on the mx5plus sponsor website. BBS Forged RG03. Yum.

Does anyone know of these (or BBS RG generally) fitted on a white NA?

I'll trawl for some pics but wondered if you've seen these on a NA in a pic before.

I'd be getting these if they were local!

I'm sporting these 16" BBS' grabbed from 1red5 which are quite a nice looking wheel... temporarily til we do something to the NA6 suspension so these will fit it without rubbing hehe.

Here's my new Rota Rb's Image
Tyres are very grippy, The 595 RSR are 140 Treadwear which are an overkill for a street car. These are standard 595's, The only tyres I saw with a AA Traction rating
