if you want to spend abit of money then get some quality jap rims for sure,

if you have a limited budget then get a set of rotas, they look quite good and are very affordable.

but make sure you get rims that have a nice offset with +20 being the absoulute maximum, anything around +12,+15 is desireable

If you budget is 2k, I would look at the Work Wheels. I custom ordered a set of Matt Black XT7's for our Midnight Purple R33 GTSt Project Car.

I have the R34 GTR wheels on now and love that look (and you don't need any spacers)

hes asking about a gtr, not a gtst. 34 gtr wheels are +30 so would definitely need spacers to get good fitment

Understand that, however it depends on your definition of "good fitment".

R34 is 18 x 9 +30 and R33 is 17 x 9 +30, so depending on the intended use of the car, a set with a "less aggressive" offset might still fit his needs?

stock wheels sit waaaay too far in the guards imo, plus if hes running coilovers, he might have issues clearing struts. i know i do with my standard wheels, need to use 5mm slip ons

plus gtr wheels are overpriced imo considering their width and offset. my advice if youre on a budget would be to go to http://www.option1ga...u/NewWheels.htm and buy some 18x10 +15 rotas for $1090

thats what i meant, the stock wheels sit way to far in for my liking, i wanted to use spacers to bring the wheels flush with the guard,

i think ill just go with a set of rota's. either 18 or 19's

hey guys this what i have decided to go with?

do you think silver as pictured or gunmetal with polished lip?

can anyone photoshop the centers gunmetal

Look like techs in 18x9.5 + 20

Had a set on my gtr before i put the gtc's on. Good bang for buck.

    • Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.
    • Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true 
    • I like this page, better than that silly turbo kit   https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/

    • Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
