That's just me though, but I think I saw one car with those so I have to look again. I can't quite remember if the x were concave though. I really have no idea what they are called. I like the simplistic clean look that's all.
Yup, go with what Davis said. I wanted a factory look, not some cheesy aftermarkets. Spyder rims were a no brainer and they are OEM Toyota.

Put an ad out on Craigs list for 2000 - 2005 MR2 Sypder rims. I found a set of '03 fronts from a guy locally for $100/pair in mint condition. The rears were a little harder to come by (since they're 16's), but I found those for $180/pair shipped. Total cost for the rims, $280. It took some patience and a lot of emailing/calling around but it was well worth it.



Also, you can try to find them on Spyderchat.com: The Online Community for Toyota MR2 Spyder Enthusiasts!. You'll see a set for sale weekly, but most of them want $300-$400 for all four rims and don't like spliting them up for some reason. Dam you MK3 owners!
