How do! 
They are compomotive wheels simlar to the compomotives that ferrari used, im not sure of there model number.
They are 4x108 so i have had to get some adapters for 95 pounds that i found on a forum thanks to google.
The rears are 9.5 but the tires are 10.5 inch. not sure about et and all that but my freind asured me they will sit nice.
The fronts are 7 inch but again god knows re et etc but aparantly they will work well.
Also got some ferrari wheel centers for 19.99 on ebay. So all in all i am under my five hundred pound wheel guide price so im pretty sure now that the whole build will be under four thousand pounds (inc the GTO number plate and full leather interior inc headling and dash & wilton rosso red carpeting.
How is your kit coming along? Have you decided colours etc? Can not wait to see others on here.
Billy

Well, Emma Chisit? £340? Bargain. Any more?
My mx5 has lost a lot of its bits via EBAY. A few more to go. Really good set of the rare and original BBS 15" alloys with new tyres yet to go on, rear bumper, lights etc.
Chris says my body will be ready soon, de-vented and with oval returned front.
looking for wheels, otherwise the donor is already tuned,chipped,lowered and is very quick.

No sadly he only had the one set. Just keep searching ebay, there was a set of ferrari 308 wheels that i missed the other week and they sold for 180 pounds! they even had legal tires! Your donor sounds great! looking forward to seeing some pics on here. Re chip, Has it made a difference? i was going to look into re mapping/chipping it.
Come on show us some pics haha
Cheers
Billy

Looks very good Billy. Love your wheels too. Ebay or Piston Heads?
Took a pic of my MX5 for you today but transfering it from my phone to my laptop its dissapeared, along with 70 other pics  That included the BBS 15" wheels to go on ebay, plus rear bumper etc. Oh well, do it all again next weekend. Are your fronts on spacers, and whats your et??? |
