[Mk2] [Turbo] What alloys?

[David21]

Just been looking at some alloys for my white rev3 t-bar. When it comes to choosing alloys im quite fussy on what looks right on what colour car. Just wondering if anyone has any piccys of a white mr2 with aftermarket alloys fitted.

I'm thinking of either white alloys or black or gunmetal colour. Just very hard to decide when they're not on the car!

I tried googling and looking at the garage on the forum but couldn't find a lot or any decent pictures.

Alternatively if anyone is good at photoshop and could photoshop a couple of my choices onto my car/a white mr2 that would be mucho appreciated

thanks

Chrome, heres some of mine







But you might have to think of the size as well depending on if you have a bodykit fitted or not... If no bodykit I would go with 16" or 17". Mine are 18" which I think are too big for a standard looking 2, if lowered with bodykit then its fine, thats what I think anyway

one thing that all ways confusses me is wheels.....a quicky ..


would these fit a rev 2 turbo

Thanks for the pictures, very nice Steve-O 2007.

Yeah i was looking at a set of 16" wheels. My car doesn't have a body kit fitted and is fairly standard looking.

I was thinking of something a little different like these (picture courtesy of POTN)



I think 16s will be enough to fill out the arch nicely and wont compromise handling.

dont you want something jdm and lightweight, you see those lensos on corsas

[jdbecks]

when it comes to wheels, Volk TE37's are the best for the mk2, also the lightest

heres my chance for pic whoring!

[David21]

To be honest the volks are slightly out of my budget however they do look nice

You say lightweight chris gts but does it really make much of a difference?

[mr2dreamcar]

I too would go for the Volk TE37's if I had enough money!
I only just knew they existed a few weeks ago and was blown away by the price. I wouldn't care about the weight too much, they are just totally stunning alloys for an MR2!

[mr2dreamcar]

Forgot to say. Other than the comment I just made which doesn't help much...
How about looking at some Rota's. They're JDM and some are pretty nice.

[Andy-Runner]

And they do a replica of the te37's too. I believe they are called "Rota Grid."

Just watch those offsets though, if your running coilovers


PS: I've got TE37's for the track, i would say they probably do make a difference compared to say "show & shine" 17's / 18's but on the road i can't really see it making much difference driving around day to day tbh.

Just get a set of wheels that A: fits correctly ie try your best to get some staggered ones ........ and B: that YOU like the look of (who cares what other people think )

Keep your eyes peeled in the for sale section mate - get a good set and get them refurbed well


Just my thoughts.....


Good luck mate


Andy

[jdbecks]

yeah thats true at the end of the day it is your car, I only got the volks because they were on the car that I brought in japan, Otherwise I would never have got them

[sutton]

Yea sorry mate sounded like a slate there. If you like them mate go for them

[Race Idiot]

How about looking at some Rota's. They're JDM and some are pretty nice.

Rotas arent jdm, they are knockoff jdm and made in the phillipines. I mean they look alright if you've never seen the wheels they cribbed the designs of originally but when you compare them to the real deal they look gash.

[David21]

Yeah i did come across the rotas. Been looking at so many now its hard to choose which set to buy! lol

I need to find a good wheel shop near mine (CAMBS) area and maybe match some up next to the car.

Thanks for your input guys, i shall keep an eyeout in the for sale section as i don't mind them being second hand as long as they're good condition.

[p34nut]

type rarerims on google click the link and look for virtual fitting bay. on there u can upload a pic of your car and try wheels on it.....

its a pukka site mate, give it a go

[GHOST]

I had a set of Lenso Reizen's (spelt that wrong) on my old FTO. They were a polished rim with a gunmetal six-spoke. Always thought they'd look uber-cool on a white MR2.

[alan1150]

Heres mine fitted before and after bodykit, they are ruff racing r395 got them for approx £600 with tyres off ebay. Seller was dpmotor1 (dp-motorsport) They are 17x7x5 all round with 235/40 rear and 215/40 front.
