My MX5 with new wheels
Discussion
Rotary - Deal! :-)
I got them from http://www.alloywheelworld.co.uk/, and tyres from camskill - Toyo's T1R's were on offer a few weeks ago.

Whatever you do, dont do the "rokkor" or "ta technix" coilovers.
Only people who live in or on the edge of cities and dont drive that fast will say they are good. I went down the rokkor route when one of my shocks failed and it turned one of the best handling/riding cars out there into a bouncy, poor riding, overly stiff and most importantly slower car.
You definitely get what you pay for with suspension. I had them on the car for 6-7k drove on all sorts roads and cross country the car just was not anywhere near as fast with them fitted as when it was just standard.
I had mine set so the wishbones were flat, had geometry set up by "wheels in motion" and it still handled st compared to standard. Only thing that was any good was it looked like the dogs danglies sitting just that little bit lower!

I bought a set for mine about a year ago - love the wheel-at-each-corner look they give to the car.
Have wanted a car with Minilites since I was about 12!
By coincidence, mine has T1Rs on as well; I used 215/45s as they're 8 inch wheels.
Oh and I put Raceland coilovers on from eBay, and I think they're bloody brilliant for the price. We've got a set on our track car too and they've lasted fine so far.
