Wheels advice

Hi all,

I like the look of the NC mx5 wheels. I have a BJ SP20. 2 questions.

1. Will the NC mx5 wheels fit the 323? Offset etc.
2. Do they come in gold? I have a black car and gold would look so much better.

If they are the 17" wheels with the 10 spokes, then yes they will fit, dunno offset but have actually had them on my car and were sprayed in bronze, I didn't really like them but that's just me, Don't think they come in gold but could be wrong.

What paint did you need to use to have it stick? What prep?

To be honest when I got them they were bronze.

But I have painted wheels before, everyone does it different but with me basically sanded wheels (mainly the face, didn't paint inside) but after sanded, painted it with primer then the paint colour I wanted them clear coated it.

You'll fine a lot of videos on YouTube on how to do it.

I think bronze looks better.

Yeah me too. I might just stick with the stock ones for now or get them coated in that colour.

Haven’t the $ to finance it at the moment.

Plastidip is your friend. You might like to use their bronze gold paint.
