Yep I looked at image, there's a reason they don't list prices on their website......if you have to ask then you can't afford lol

They didn't want to know for less than £2000 on their BBS reps.....and if your spending that much, may as well buy the real thing....may even be cheaper!

The wheels I have chosen for my MXico project may need the extended arches fitting on the front of an MX250 kitted car:

Here is one test fitted on a standard MX5, stock 15" wheel (Mk2) shown first:

Yes indeed! I looked into them a while back and came to the same conclusion. Nice BBS rs seem to go for $1000 and fully restored or custom size they go for $1500. I'm not sure if it's available to you there but machinists (engineers for you folks) can do hub bore size and lug pattern re-drilling here and it's not too expensive. A few hundred bucks a set. If you come across a set of wheels you could have drilled to 4x100 you could do that too.

I managed to buy a set of 2nd hand Image wheels for our Mk2 demo car, 7x17 0et, for £400 with tyres (but that was 4 years ago). Here is the car after being finished by it new owner.
