I just have regular ones, but I would say the Rays Volks there are the nicest I've seen on an MR2.

Nope i dont think they are too full,I think you would need to see them up close to appreciate them properly.The calipers can still be seen clearly just they have not been painted yet.

I think All Deep Dish alloys are the way forward :thumleft:

Now then, I've got some super advans. They're the split rim version of the SA3 in 16", with an extra dish on the rear (7J up front, 8J rear I believe). The split rim layer fills up the normally gaping space on advans to provide a fuller look, as well as shortening the spokes. So, JDM, staggered and dished ;) I really like 'em, but they are very marmite, as the thread would already seem to indicate!

These were my old wheels, fulfilling the JDM and staggered criteria, but sadly not the 'matching' one... TOMs TRD up front and BuddyClub on the rear:

I think my bronze ATech Erasers work quite well with SMG :)

But same as best car colour thread would be better changing the subject to "Show us pictures of your wheels". Maybe "Best wheels for your car" would be better as wheels that look good on one car look naff on another due to styling, colour etc.

Woo! Buddyclubs! Bought mine off the guy who had a supercharged 3SFE here.

Although he painted them black and it started to flake off so I had them powdercoated in antracite!

They look pretty swish :) I'd have liked to have found another 2 buddyclubs in an appropriate size for the front, but wheels like that just don't tend to come up in pairs...

You know ultralite took over the mould for those wheels and you could have probably got two new fronts for like £200.

I really like the bronze rota Grids, I was thinking about getting a black mk2.5 mx5 sport the otherday so I could put a set of grids on it. Some cars they look fantastic :)

I thought my old TOM's C7R's with matt balck centre were great on the zircon blue, on the white current car I like my Kei's
