They are not mx5 wheels that I have ever seen before. As above probably 323f or other jap like almera /etc. Unless you love these wheels particularily we have a few sets of original daisies and other original mx5 wheels that might suit you .Polishing is hard work and also you can not put lacquer straight over alloy with out etch primer (which is grey/cream colour) so it would have to be painted really .I did polish a few sets years ago but you need to keep them really clean afterwards as they tarnish/oxidise again from weather/dirt etc .I have heard of people using bees wax to protect alloys but I don't really know if it works.
