Those aren't the originals, they look like Ronal LS which are 15x7 and lower offset than the 15x6.5 BBS RZ standard wheels
That's correct, they're actually 15 x 7.5. I do have the original BBS alloys, but wanted a wider wheel with a deeper dish, so it looks like the original, but improved slightly. (Fills the arches better).Edited by FELIX_5 on Thursday 14th May 19:57

They fill the arches without any of this wheel lip protruding outside of the wheel arch bks.

@FELIX_5, what header/expansion tank is that? I've been looking for an alloy replacement for the ugly plastic thing in my car for a while now.
It's an I.L Motorsports one from mx5partshttp://www.mx5parts.co.uk/coolant-expansion-tank-a...

If they are ET20, do you have any clearance issues?
My car is lowered on Koni/Eibach so was slightly worried about arch scrub under heavy load.

Quick question Felix - I am looking to fit Ronal LS on my 1991 Eunos. I was going to go for 195/50/15 - what tyre size are you running?

I'm running 195/50/15, I'm on Meister R coilovers (out of the box height) set firmer to avoid such issues (haven't tried them on a softer setting), haven't had any issues so far. If they are ET20, do you have any clearance issues?
