I like all of your choices. If you are interested in the Gram Lights I think Kyle was thinking about selling his. I'd let you try the GTC's on but I took them apart to get the barrels chromed.

Aw I was hoping you had them laying around, dang! Haha that's cool though your picture actually helps out a lot. I know Joe had them on his car but I just can't remember what they looked like. Do you know your sizes and offsets off hand so I can use that as a reference to what mine would look like? I'll shoot Kyle a PM and see what he says, thanks for the tip.

P.S. Your car is still hot, you have more chrome than a lowrider show!

I don't think thats too bad of a price for powder coating.personally i like the gramlights the most. but all of those wheels will look great on your car and weightwise they all weigh around twenty pounds.

pm me if you want some ssr's

Aw just two days too late, I ended up ordering the AME circlar spec R's in BBF finish Tuesday. Ordered from AutoRnD, great customer service! I wish you had let me know earlier, I would have been very interested. Oh well, I'll be sure to post up some pics in 3 months when I get them

I like the gramlights the best too, but the AME's are very close to the gramlights and they are actually forged instead of cast, so I think they are a better wheel. The powder coater ended up not being able to do the gramlights because they dip the wheel to get all the old material off and that would have ruined the lip. I would have had to get it repolished and everything would have ended up costing a fortune. Oh well next car will be blue or white and I won't mind getting a gunmetal wheel, haha.

He said he wasn't interested in parting them when he put his car up for sale

not mine, but yes, that's 17 front and 18 rear iirc. face 1 front and face 2 rear also iirc.

interesting poll btw. a few years ago the results would've been much different. the sp1 would've won by a landslide (before all the crappy sp1/meister copies popped up on every car on the planet).

Yeah I didn't realize his car was for sale when I PM'ed him. I wasn't trying to get him to part it out or anything. Its cool I ended up going with the AME's anyway.

Hey man,

Thanks, did you end up ordering your Advans from AutoRnD? I gotta check up with them about my AME, I think they are a month out still

Do you have any more side profile pics? loving it thus far tho!

jdm91t · 11-05-2008, 06:03 PM

Unfortunately I blew the motor, so this is the only pic I have until I can get the new motor in.

Thanks

Variance · 11-06-2008, 02:04 PM

Cool thanks!

Judging from the AME site, it looks like you can custom order offsets. Did you end up doing that?

jdm91t · 11-06-2008, 05:47 PM

yeah I had too, no one is going to have those sizes and offsets in stock.

Captainkgun · 11-13-2008, 01:19 AM

Those wheels look outstanding on your MR2..... Absolutely.
I will be buying a set for mine.

RePete · 11-08-2010, 04:14 PM

Those wheels do look good, but one might find it difficult ordering from them. A quote from their website:

How did you get yours, jdm91t?

jdm91t · 11-08-2010, 04:31 PM

through autornd, but that was like 3 years ago. I guess looking for a used set is a good way to go.
