I do have a flat wallet haha and they don't look bad! But i am getting my car in the body shop second week of August :D And was wondering what color i should paint them! I was thinking red with silver lip or black with red lip? Oh and the car is gonna be white!

Your opionion's are greatly appreciated!

The cars came in from Japan as a special edition with pearlescent white Enkei 5 spokes, but Mazda UK didn't like the look of then and got a huge batch of the same wheels sent over in Silver. Mazda Sport dealers then sold off all the white wheels with tyres at a very good price. Most of them have ended up on civics. :) I bought a load of the first sets and bored the centres out and sold them on. :thumb: This is what they look like:-

And yes the centre bore of the MX5 wheels is 54.1mm so you only actually need to bore the centres out by 1mm to make it 56.1mm. If you take 2mm off then you will end up with a 58.1mm centre :thumb: 8)
