SE alloys - Differences

Hey guys.
I've been seeing a lot of the SE alloys around, but they all seem to be different to mine.
Mine look like this:
(But with the older eunos/mazda badge)Now, all the ones I see on this forum seem to be the inverted type:
Is one jap spec and one uk spec?

**Neither of those are SE alloys.
SE alloys have a silver rim, with a five-spoke hub in gunmetal. The rim has wee plastic bits to fake a split-rim look and the wheelnuts are covered by a metal torus, screwed on with a large, plastic hex head to fake a race wheelnut.
The second of your two pictures is the stock 6-spoke alloy. Not seen the first one before, so I imagine it's a Japanese wheel.**

Apparently they are?
http://www.mx-3.com/se/My particular type of wheels are enkei made also.
So many types! -_-

**Ahhhh. That's the Canadian 25th anniversary edition. It's a special edition, but not a Special Edition, if you catch me.
MX-3 SE was Europe only and in clear white or occasionally the bluey-green colour (forget the name). There's only a couple hundred of them (mine is one).
So your wheels are probably North American then. The other 6-spokes are just stock 6-spokes.**

Yes the top pic is the north american SE version wheels, but they used those wheels on normal mx-3's across the rest of the world.
The bottom picture is the stock wheels that came on most stock mx-3's around the world from 91-93…
I've seen the SE in the UK (white) that comes with 5 spoke rims - the same rims that came stock in North America in 94-96
Also there is the Equipe version in the UK only that has the rims that famine described...
-
Those top ones seem to be the standard on the jap eunos 1.6 or 1.8 auto

**The Equipe has a similar pattern to the SE, but the wheels are all silver.
Edit: Stock 5-spoke
SE 5-spokes (UK only - 250 units, as I recall)

I have an equipe and these are the stock alloys, this was before I painted them but they come standard sivler center and polished alloy on the rims

The first pic is of the wheels that I have fitted to my Eunos.

Nice one guys!
That makes more sense!@25ac7cb22f=djmarcopolo:

Apparently on the 1.8 manuals too! ^^

they look like Borbets…..

They do a bit but I can assure you they are the standard mazda issue for this model, I painted them bronze for japfest and the clours dont go so I do not know which way to go next, whether to go white with turquoise rim tape or a champagne gold

i did like the gold mate but here's a suggestion, why not go white with a polished rim, imo mint…
