Standard wheel figures on 16"

Posted: Oct 19 2010 Tags:  16", mk3, wheels Views: 39

In the event that i win the lottery (keep forgetting to buy a ticket ho-hum) i would change my wheels.

I wouldn't change the size just the style.
Having spotted some rather nice 8 spoke ROTAs it got me to thinking.

I have no idea if they are 7s or 8s and what the offset is on mine

In short... are mine 7s or 8s and what is the offset?
Thanks in advance.Smile

    Hi,

    16s are actually 6.5, offset 55

    I went from 16s to 17s, look much better :)

    Jo - one point to note - the older MX5's (Mark 1 and 2/2.5) have 4 stud wheels - the Mark 3/3.5 have 5 stud

    You need to bear this in mind when a retailer says that the wheels are suitable for an MX5
