I've had these wheels for approx 12 months and finally found the chance to get some photos with them on the car, while the car was looking clean!

They're BBS RG 359 in 15 x 7. I'm pretty sure the offset is 38mm - it's marked on the rim, but i'm not 100% certain. Weigh 4.8kg's each

Car looks great Gerard

Very nice, subtle mods but 100% execution. I love it.

Looks great Gerard, the red centre caps are a classy subtle touch too.

I'm not surprised that you've taken so long to get the shots, the weather has been crap in Brisbane this last month.

What Front/Rear height are you runing (wheel hub to fender preferred) and do you have any speed hump issues?

Thanks guys

Perhaps I should start a garage thread one day...

Simon, not sure on the heights, but I can take a measuring stick to it and let you know. They're Tein SS's which were set to give 100mm ground clearance straight out of the box. They needed some minor tweaking by only a few mm's when I first installed them on the black car, but with the extra weight on the front of this car I think it does sit slightly lower. I've had two awful sounding encounters with speed bumps lately, (unusually large speed bumps) but once I kicked the passenger out I got over them with only very minor contact (she took being kicked out quite well :lol:

). I had the chance to look under it while up on the hoist on Saturday and there are a couple of scrapes on the bracing, but no real damage - certainly nothing to worry about anyway. So I guess the upshot of all that is that it is perhaps a little low for practicality sake on the streets

I do crawl over speed bumps VERY slowly though.

i LOVE it!! it's understated but it has its presence. i haven't seen an MX5 pull of BBS better than yours.

Very nice Mark, do you have any other pics of the car? Full side-on and maybe front quarter? Look like a nice alternative to Enkei's.
