Lightweight and wide with a nice offset, while appearing to be steelies for a discreet look.

Yea love that colour.
Prolly because it never got here....
Not the wheels....the car

But the wheels . Also perfect. Not overdone with dish or offset. Perfect

Thanks Lokiel and StanTheMan, pretty happy with them. I do have a set of genuine BBS RS wheels in 15" that are 4x100 which were going to go on the car, but still haven't rebuilt them yet.
The car is actually painted in a paint called red glow from http://www.spraychiefcustompaints.com.au/products.html its a candy pearl over a black base. Thanks, now to get it running properly again haha

Always love MX5's in burgundy colours.


I love my Twilight blue NB, but if it ever needs a respray i'd very seriously consider Radiant Ebony or a brighter burgundy.

I can't find any decent 14 inch tyres anywhere, so i bought some new wheels of Gumtree today.

Decided to step up a few inches to a more future proof size.

Going in the other direction, I saw an NB8A at the beach the other day with 14" Globe Bathursts. Looked amazingly good on an NB8A. Sorry, no pics.
