Can't quite see the pic clearly enough...but they look the same wheels as I have on my car.

Better photo's - they were stock 6.5x16's from a 2004 - 2005 MX5 NB Series 4 (NB8D?)
Although redbook claim them to be 6.0x15's, I don't thing so.

Yup those are on mine, thanks for taking the effort to look them up! I've got a 2003, thought NB8B but the guys at Mania mentioned 8C?

As far as I'm aware, they're NB8C rims. The NB8B ones are the 16" ones that have the spokes slightly off centre. You don't see many NB8C rims floating about.

Hey Apu. Mine are the same, and also have an '03, but built late, so I'm guessing it's probably for the 04 market. I don't know. I've classified mine as the 8c due to this, and a few other very minor changes between the B and C.
This is my MX5. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My MX5, without me, is useless. Without my MX5, I am useless.

:shock: Wow, haven't seen Venoms for a long time! Were my dream wheel for my Civic in the late 90's.
Hold up well. Nice.

There not really aftermarket, but certainly look it :D

NB8A wheels painted Metallic Black, with Gold Pearl, looks awesome in the sunlight.

What do you think??
