  1. You should be able to get a similar model from a private seller for around £5k Late 05/55/06 Premier with around 60k. Try to get one with Air Con, Sat nav and fogs. AC at the minimum! Will help with the re-sale when you look to sell it in future.

  2. White rims look really good against the blue calipers!! Couldnt notice the calipers much with the blacks on! Hope you get them to fit mate, i can imagine how annoying it is!!

  3. They look really good, I hope you can get them to fit. What that means is that the centre bore of the wheel you are trying to fit on is smaller than the hub so it won't fit on flush. You can get them machined out which means cutting away some of the metal so they will fit on to your hubs. Apologies for getting the tyre sizes mixed up, I forget the MB2 came with 14's as standard.

  4. Was about to say bore may be an issue but thats been covered. Is there some old spigot rings stuck in that could be replaced if that's the issue?? Do look nice!!

  7. Right ok couple of things- The wheel issue is probably the centre bore. If the alloys are off an MX5, Suzuki or some other makes the centre bore is too small (you need 56.1mm the old mx5 is about 54mm) Alloys are hub centric- you need to get them machined out to fit the hubs or machined oversize to fit a reducing spigot ring. If the centre bore is correct check that the offset is not to much and the inner rim is not rubbing on suspension components. The tyre size you need is 195/50/r15. Your car does not have the same rolling radius as the MB6/MC2 (that is a downsize on them but not yours) likewise some of the MA models. Use the stock size on the sticker in your drivers door shut, put it into a calculator online and use the related sizes it recommends. Tyre size is the final gearing for your car deviating more than a couple of percent can really duck up all kinds of things from the speedo to fuel economy, torque etc. If you feel the need to go wider on 15's it is possible but 195 is a good compromise between grip and efficiency.
