MX - 5 - Alloys and hardtop match

[PeaDaddy]

Just wondering if anyone has photos of their mx-5 or anyone elses with a different coloured hardtop from the body, which matches the alloys?

Im thinking about white body with black hard top roof and something like these

I Don't have any pics unfortunately, but for what it's worth, think it would look really good!

Car is 2003, 40,000 miles and they are £4500 which seems reasonable. Get some nice coilovers on it, black hardtop and either of those wheels. Not sure for black or gunmetal.....

I'll have to get onto forza 3 tonight and see what can be rustled up!

Think that car with black hardtop would be tasteful, its just getting the right alloys.

Some nice deep split rims would be nice, but cost cost cost.

http://www.splitrims.com/wheel_pop_up/22.html with coilovers thinking 15s would be nicest. But alas they are £1100, on a £4,000 mx5, nein.

Recommendations??

Something that make it a bit more aggressive looking, wider and hugging the ground...

With black hard top, lowered 30mm.

Personally (and this is just my own opinion) I don't like deep-dish on Mk2+. They look great on Mk1s but I think the later cars look better with a multi-spoke design.

What about the bbs split rims? Can you post image of wha your describing?

cheers

Ok, I'm too lazy to search the web for relevant pictures so I'm going to post pics of my own car...

I have 17" OZ Superturissmo...


I also have a set of 15" Rota Circuit 10 which I just use on the track. I prefer the look of the OZ STs though...

Correct on the multi-spokes looking tidy...

I love the look of dished wheels on MK2's, the standard offsets tend to make the wheels look a bit lost in the arches.

My recently aquired Compomotives, not the best option for performance but i do have a set of lightweight 15"s for track days.

i have a white car, black hardtop, gunmetal / dark grey wheels similar to teh multispokes lazza has.

looks fine.
