They were on the sport versions. Not on RS or 10ae (6 speed)versions.

So is it the models with 16inch wheels ( from new obviously).

[Steve]

Mine are the sport wheels, same as this :


I remember something about all 2003 onwards(mk2.5?) cars had them and all 2001/2002 with the above 16" wheels from new had them (I think!!!).

[MX5Spares]

Yeah looks good. I will keep an eye out for you Brian

[Merlot man]

My next question is wheather I need 16" wheels because I am planning to stick with my own ones . I hope my 15" ones will work!
Brian

[Steve]

Some 15" wheels won't work, there is a list of what will and what won't somewhere...
oh heres a partial list
Also, I know the 15" 5 spoke NB wheels will fit (if the wheel weights aren't too big).
There is also this option
