Sounds good man.
Beware early MX5 rims. Theyre 4x100 and good offset, but some used a stepped-bolt system. Which is no good on V300 studs.
If you can, check the bolt/stud holes are smooth fith your finger man.
I had a Nightmare trying to fit Mx5 wires......

Not tapered no.
Great big 'reduction in diameter' about halfway up the bolthole on the wheel, opening up to full size again at the top.
Bizzare I know man.
Theres the full on tribulations documented here. read the following few pages:

never came across that system before either man.
Sure its not ver popular. I only mentioned it as the wheels I had problems with were off an MX5/Eunos.
