17 Work Emotion T7Rs
Front: 8j ET32, with Bridgestone Potenza S001 215/40- nearly new tyres (see photos).
Rear: 9j ET38, with Bridgestone Potenza S001 245/40 nearly new tyres (see photos).
The offsets are ET32,38 - great fitment for the MR2, particularly as theyre a recommended offset to accommodate coilovers with 17 8j and 9j widths. These alloys really are a fantastic finish/colour, which the photos dont do justice. Theyre much better in the metal. I wouldnt be changing these alloys if it wasnt for the fact I managed to get hold of some Advan SA3rs, which have always been my preferred alloy wheel for the 2.
Included in the sale:
The alloys come with six centre caps. Two of the centre caps are raised for the rear alloys, to give extra clearance from the axel bolt. However, they do not fit over the axel bolt with the standard ET38. I ran the rears with 5mm spacers and extended wheel bolts, which meant the rear centre caps fitted perfectly. However, with the ET reduced to ET33 the rear tyres caught the wheel arches very slightly with the stock suspension. I was planning to have the rear arches rolled, or see how I got on with coilovers fitted. As mentioned, the option is there to run the rears at ET38 without the centre caps and without spacers, or extend wheel bolts. The front centre caps fit perfectly with ET32, without the need for spacers. I have two spare centre caps that are boxed and have never been used. One individual centre cap cost £25 new (Driftworks).
I had two custom alloy spigot rings made for the rears that arent tapered. This was to ensure the rings engage the lip of the hub properly with the use of spacers. There are two standard plastic spigot rings for the fronts.
They come with Black Work locking nuts which cost £75 new (Driftworks), still in original pack.
The alloys are in great condition, as the photos show. The sticker on the inside of the wheels gives the manufacture date, so you can see they are relatively new wheels and confirm the specs. There is some slight kerbing on the front passengers side alloy, shown in the photos.
£500 pick up only.

Re: [FINALIZED] Work Emotion T7R 17" Alloys
Oooo nice.... You sure they fit with coils, I've got meister-r ones fitted and had to get rid of a set of 8j wide wheels... I'm very interested just waiting on a cheque coming through, I think I'd need to try them on ma car before I'd be completely happy parting with the coin. If you've still got them when I get my cheque I'll be through... As long as your sure they won't scrub?

dylan5084 - I can give you an accurate answer, as I ran these for a short while with MeisterR GT1's, when I had them fitted and the ZetaR have the same clearance. I have a thread running in the Mods section as I think it's possible to run at ET32 and I'm asking for guidance at running this ET with my Advans - but I understand there's only a couple of mm clearance between tyre/coilover seat, so haven't risked it.
Therefore, on my Advans I'm currently running at ET30 - so would recommend a 2mm spacer on the fronts with the Works to be certain of good fitment with MeisterR coilovers.
The rears are fine with ET38, but the centre cap won't fit. Therefore, there's the option to fit a 5mm spacer, but you have to be aware they'll probably catch the arches slightly and you'll need longer studs and possibly an arch roll - but they will look better for being pushed out the arches that few mm imo.
Hope this helps!

Re: [FINALIZED] Work Emotion T7R 17" Alloys
Front fitment will depend on how you've set your front camber. As well as adjustment at the top mount, you also have some adjustment at the hub.
Re: [FINALIZED] Work Emotion T7R 17" Alloys
Thanks lads... Cheers for the input
Re: [FINALIZED] Work Emotion T7R 17" Alloys
H&R have a 5mm spacer that come with extended wheel studs for around £46, which I used on the rear.

Re: [FINALIZED] Work Emotion T7R 17" Alloys
I never got around to selling these wheels/tyres and have been sat in my garage for far too long.
I'll be moving house this summer so really need them gone. Therefore, I've dropped the price to £500
Grab yourself a bargain!

I'm not sure why Photobucket isn't previewing the images? I've redone the links and still no joy. If you click on the image it seems to take you to the proper photo okay??
Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Yep, use imgur instead. Photobucket is terrible and doesn't allow third party hosting for free accounts anymore.
Re: [FINALIZED] Work Emotion T7R 17" Alloys
Thanks Gazza. I'll open an imgur account and get them sorted
Re: [FINALIZED] Work Emotion T7R 17" Alloys
