Pretty sure the center bore of MX5 is too small for us VW folk.

Ask him for the RS code (001, 301 etc) and that will tell you the bore etc.

Mx5's tend to run wider than golfs so check the width and the offset as well.

Any wider than 7" or lower than an offset of 20 and you're going to struggle, Golfs also run smaller tyres and all of this depends on your suspension set up as well

Centre bore isnt an issue, most machine shops can mill them out

If they have not been rebuilt to different specs, the offset (ET) is a friendly 34 (as seen in the last photo).
Roach is right, Mazda's bore is a typically smaller than the classier 57.1mm our cars have.

As chrisL stated, ask the seller for the model ID. The price seems fair (IMO) and definitely worth inquiring about.  :thumbs:

Just check about the bore size as MX5 owners often get VW BBS alloys and fit spigot rings as they are easier to get hold of.
