Mazda MX5 alloys...

[odd_ball]

Got a set of MK1 MX5 alloys on the way to me, the minilite looking ones. Got a really short turn around time to get them on the car so wanted some opinions...

Options are leave them standard colour, or was thinking of spraying them solid gold (think Subaru type wheel colour, go with colour of my car) or black, or one of those 2 with a silver lip?

Sure I've seen a few of these wheels on Micras on here before so wanted to see what you all thought...

Ta...

Stupidly only just thought, what's the situation with the centre bore on these?

Centre bore WILL need opening up....or spacers to clear spigot

 

[Chogy]

spacers get the wide look goin on

 

[odd_ball]

How thick are we talking with the spacers to clear the spigot & am I gonna need extended studs?

Think they only need to be about 3mm or so, don't quote me on that though, better to whip a wheel off and measure it

You're going to want longer studs if you are spacing and fitting alloys.

Oh dear, that's a ballache! How long are the standard studs & what do I need to go up to?

Are spigot rings required also & what spacer should I go for? Any recommendations? Only ones I've seen are universal ones...

offer them up and take a look, you may not need extended studs with small spacers, should be like 5mm, can get them at autofactors or halfrauds
