i all

my 92 '5 has 15" 5 spoke alloys, I believe they are a Mazda design, and have 'RADIUS' embossed on them. However, the previous owner dented the rim of the n/s/r, and there is a visible wobble as its been driven, although it cant be felt. Are my chances i've finding a replacement non-existant, i've checked ebay etc, but not holding much hope.

Can you post a piccy up of the wheel design; it will help your cause wink

Ah......

It's not the best pic, but the spokes are 'canted' over, and there is a kind of scallop on each spoke.

chances of finding a one-off of such a random wheel are virtually zero mate. unless you're particularly attached to them, just get another set of 4 and if the tyres are good, swap them over.

there's loads of half decent 15" wheels out there - the mk2 mx5 ones are quite similar but probably better for weight.

They look like fairly standard Mk2 wheels to me.

I'm not sure... these are the standard Mk2, it's what I have. Straight spokes:


His are this design, I think: they came on one of the special editions but I forget which.

They look similar to a wheel that "Fox" used to make/

They look a lot like one of the wheels that Mazda used to offer as an accessory wheel

I'm fairly certain that I've seen these kicking around in some dealers on the old style wheel stands that they used to have in their showrooms

It might not be the cheapest, but I reckon you could have a chance of finding one if you ring around a few dealers who have probably got an odd one kicking around gathering dust somewhere in the parts dept

I think MX5 parts were selling sets of these a while back, I have some fitted to my MK1.
