My recent addition. Enkei Raijin 18x8 +45.
It cleared at the front without issues but the rears where touching slightly when loaded. We just had to roll that little lip up on the inside.

Some great looking Mx5s in this thread!

The black on blue body looks really good!

Agree on both points. Could be good for cruising around town though. Since the OEM wheels are lighter than most wheels, it's really hard to find something light, good looking, and not too expensive- especially if you want something unique, since the most obvious choices are already quite popular.

Aggreed... Not sure how heavy exactly but they did look good.. went back to stock as we had new tread and they were for a friiends Mazda 3, couldn't help myself had to try em... Surprisingly drove quite well.. wish the stockies had a lower offset they'd look great!

RX8 wheels, 225/40's and Yellowspeed coilovers. Perfect fit but not sure if I like the way the car feels.

How do you guys post full size photos???
