Re: NB's Show Off Your Rims!
Looks great Mark.
I've never seen white wheels on a black MX5 and wouldn't have thought they'd work at all. Makes a nice change from boring black wheels on a black car; I reckon if you've got great rims, you want them to be seen, not camouflaged into the tyre and wheel well until you're right up close.
Also, I didn't think it was possible for an MX5 to take up 4 parking spaces

They'd look great on a red NB, I wanna set 

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

- one of the few photos I took before it got too dark after picking her up tonight and testing them out.

Nice one, id love to see more shots, especially showing the offset and how close the tyre is to the guard etc.

As promised, hopefully this is what you're looking for (FYI: 949racing 6UL 15x8s have a +36 offset vs OEM NB's +40 offset) ...

Re: NB's Show Off Your Rims!
I'd like to see some 15 x 7 + 36 6UL's in bronze and/or nickel on an NB, especially with 195/50's or 205/50's, if anyone has fitted them can they please post up pics?
