So it's between 1 and 3. Grab a coin, Heads is 1, Tails is 3. Flip the coin high in the air and notice whether you're hoping for heads or tails - that's the one you should get smile

Make your own mind up what you want, even if it's number 2 vomit

Don't worry too much what anyone else thinks
Works for most things in life.

But for what it's worth, Sparco Assetto Gara Bronze

Those Sparco wheels are very similar to the Rota Force, first photo

Whichever one you like most. I prefer 2, in at least 8" wide though, the TE37-like designs look good on an NC. I like the CR Kai design (avoid real ones if you were thinking of it, Work are quality but too heavy for this) but I'm not sure about on an MX5.

Does your car have the 16"s or 17"? I was wondering what size/offset were you considering, and if you are retaining the standard tyres or going wider?

miata.net is a good place to look for lots of pictures to get an idea.

First ones. I have Rota Circuit 10 as my track wheels which are similar and OZ Superturissmo as my road wheels which are also similar.
Personally I think my OZ wheels would look great on a Mk3 but they would be a fair bit more expensive than Rotas.

Nowt wrong with them.

Show us a picture of them on the car.

I was considering the Rota's, and the Sparco, but in the end decided they all look a bit "after market"
Can't help thinking the very popular bronze finish probably suits "tuned" civics and evo's better IMO.
Fine if that's your thing.

Having my originals properly refurbished instead, and finished in a slightly darker steel silver, like the launch edition.
