Couldn't find it on their website, but they are about $100 each for 15" & 16".
Wide and very low offset.

So do the Diamond racing ones from the USA, and people seem to love them (for some reason)

Yeah, so's Happy Feet.
Steelies, head to your local BJ's and they'll give them to you for nothing plus a bonus Commodore 64 "computer".

Can suit a style. Not something I'd put on my car, but if going for a tough, low, slow type thing it works.
There was a member here is orange steelies on his Mirage wasn't there? They worked with the car in question quite well.

If Mad Max had an MX5 he would have these wheels.

15x8+0 4x100 – 5 Spoke style
They are very illegal and would require serious guard work not to mention the damage they would do to the suspension components. Really would anyone put these things on an MX5?

Damn! I didn't know that putting on 5-spoke wheels with the correct PCD was against the law.
What am I supposed to do now, as I have them on my Festiva and Pulsar. Sh*t.

How is that the sellers problem?
They are prefectly legal to sell, and perfectly legal to use (just not on an MX5)
and as for guard work, some people are perfectly willing to do it for wheels.
The seller is simply saying "here's what I've got for sale"
he never said "Here's what I've got, they are legal and will fit an MX5 100% without issue"
And one last point for my Rant, they likely won't damage suspension. Yes, they will likely dramatically increase the wear in those specs, but that's not the same as damage.
saying they will cause damage indicates that the act of simply bolting them on will cause something to fail 100m down the road.

Nope, just in a mood to rant loudly.
