Bought an unloved Mk1 MX5 last week with the aim of giving it a lot of TLC and some restoration. I started another thread which I will be adding pics to with the things I've fixed, cleaned or changed in due course.

I'm just wanting a few opinions on this bit though if possible.

I ended up buying some Enkei 15" wheels last week but haven't stuck them on yet (tyres they came on had punctures and they need a bit of a touch up).

I've been looking at it too long and am now in 2 minds whether white looks good on my car. I've come to the conclusion that there's 3 options - Do I...

Keep the black aftermarket wheels and do away with the hassle of getting all the tyres swapped and sell the Enkei's for my money back (I'm on a bit of a budget):


Change to the white Enkei's which aren't in the best condition, pay for the tyres to be swapped and sell the aftermarkets:


Refurb the Enkei's to Silver/Gun metal and as above:

I prefer the original set of wheels myself. What would they look like in Silver? Do you know what their ET is as they look like they could do with coming out of the arches a bit to me.

As you're handy with photoshop, try yellow or orange wheels.

I could try them in silver. Not too much of a fan of aftermarket stuff but in this case I think they look OK.

Need to have a proper look at the ET (not stopped raining yet). The back ones do come out of the arches a lot more than the fronts though. Fronts also look like they have a slight toe-out - could be my eyesight though.

Also not a fan of yellow or orange, want it to look fairly original as it is a daily when needed.
