The Na8 wheels look a whole lot better on the nb to my eye than the standard nb8a ones.

TR Motorsports T1M's. These are actually the light grey ones but I wasn't a fan of the colour so I plastidipped them black.

Got my Enkei RPF1's fitted today with RE002 tyres. They are 16x7 +43
The difference it makes to the weight of the steering is amazing, feels so light now compared to the stock 16s.
how are you finding the re002s? I bought a set a few weeks back and absolutely hate them. They're fine at normal speed but once you pick up a bit of pace they get heaps twitchy and the sidewalls feel like they're made of jelly.

This is my second set and love them. On the street I run them at 30 psi cold and even if I go for a spirited drive they hold up fine, dont seem like the tyres are trying to roll over or anything, on track I run them at 36 psi hot and again they go very well especially since they arent a track tyre. If I run mine any higher on the street I get a bad vibration throughout the car which Im still trying to locate the cause. Could be the tyre out of round or just because Iv got 16" wheels still, all other mx5's Iv dríven or been in have 15" wheels and even with coilovers its very smooth.
Tyres alone though I like them very much. Loads of grip in the dry good amount in the wet as long as you drive to the conditions and if they do let go its easy to control/re gain grip.

Factory SE rims but sprayed up gloss white. Really contrast nice against the velocity red.

When the sun hits them at the right angle or with polarised sunglasses the whole number plate turns white! Freaked me out the first time I took a photo with flash!
