The Novitec 100 hp with 7x17" offset 35 with 195/40R17" tires is the only serious 100 hp i have seen that can bring it home on 17", and maybe because the wheels are black and look not as big as they are.
I also think the 169 is better looking with 17" then the new 319 because it has round arches.

Agreed...! Although I wonder what the ride's like...?!

i have no idea, driving on 155/80R13" summer tires now and will change to 165/65R14" winter tires soon.
For next summer i'm thinking about: 195/50 on 15", 195/45 on 16" or 195/40 on 17".

I've got a set of 17"s in the shed for my MX5 and contemplated seeing if they would fit the 100HP.
Need to workout the offset first though. ZCW angels. Black with polished lip.

Basic numbers for a MX5 1990-2005 are 4x100, 54.1 and offset 45.
Centre hole is to small and the offset to heigh, adaptive bolts needed for fitment.

Thanks Pretender,
I was expecting something like that, as these wheels came with spigot rings and different bolts.

Will just have to put them back on the MX5 in the spring!
