i think it's Mica Blue... (fav)

please say if you think im wrong...

couldnt resist a wheels thread though. my mr2 has been quite a whore for rims over the years.

and my old second mr2.. which i sold with a set of rims i absolutley loved. needed restoing, but they were fkn tough on it.
Impul RS, 16x7 and 16x8 with stretched ass tyres on the rear.

probably others, but these are the lot that i remember.

RDS - Did you have any problems with the 16x7 wheels clearing the wheel arches or rubbing the suspension/struts on the rear?

Very nice darkducati. 16's in the rear?

Here is what I'm going with; 2003 OEM Spyder rims - 16's in the rear and 15 up front

The rears cost be $180 for the pair, shipped! They are in good condition with no curb rash. They have a few scratches on them but nothing that can't be polished out

The fronts are near mint condition and I bought them from a guy locally for $100 (for the pair!)

It took a couple of months to find them but it was well worth the wait. I just need to get my car running now. I'll add some pics when they are mounted.

I've got a brand new set of those "Sears" wheels. Still in the boxes. Z-Racing, 15x6.5.

16" konig Rated R's.
bfg traction t/a's

@darkducati: i absolutely love the stance. very jealous.

mk1doridori · 10-25-2009, 09:22 PM

ooops double post.

stu4u3 · 10-27-2009, 11:15 AM

Very nice DoriDori. 16's are about as big as I would go on out MK1's. Anything bigger doesn't look right.

I love the Vermont license plate, very clean and simple looking.

mk1doridori · 10-27-2009, 05:28 PM

haha i hate my plates. green doesnt go with ANYTHING. plus we are required to run front plates.

and yeah the 16 fill the wells pretty good, they almost look a little big tho.
i think 15" advan a3a's are next.

stu4u3 · 10-27-2009, 09:10 PM

In Texas, we're required to have front plates too. In addition, our plates have to look like a work of art! I hate them...

I'm putting 2005 MR2 rims ony my car. The rears are 16x7, fronts are 15x6. Here's a couple of pics of the front without tires mounted yet. I have Hankook RS2 going on there soon though.

ToyotaTechGeek · 10-27-2009, 09:41 PM

i know i'm late, but...

and on my 15's

stu4u3 · 10-28-2009, 08:35 AM

My parts car (still complete at this point) is the same color two tone gray, but mine looks no where near as nice as yours.

I love the first set of rims on your car.

mr3 · 10-28-2009, 08:59 AM

Toyota tech, is there a write up about that wing mod? I'm thinking about moving mine back like that but I'm not completely sure on how to go about doing it.

yeah, do a search on Plumley wing mod or spoiler mod. it was originally done by my buddies Deno Plumley and his dad Bruce. I've done several of them and have a new-new and improved designed that i've come-up with on my own. people used to do them and sell them. i think i've made and sold 3 to date.

LOL, I wish! I should have noticed yours was a SC. No, mine is an NA. An SC would certainly not be a parts car for me

Still_Waters_43 · 11-06-2009, 06:55 PM

ToyotaTechGeek, I also love the rims in your first couple of photos. Can I ask the size and where you got them?

thanks! they are 17x7's and believe it or not, i bought a car to get them. sure, i had to do a bit of work to get them to where there are now, but i think it was well worth it!

mr3 · 11-07-2009, 09:43 AM

Rota auto x. Sorry for the crappy pics. The iphone camera is balls. They are super light weight and might look good on the other mk1.

stu4u3 · 11-08-2009, 02:20 PM

Very nice.

Is that a Sesame Street character you ran over and he got stuck on the rear valance?
