That last pic is 17X8 +38 n 17X9 +29

The challenge will be in finding them in 17*8 + 17*9, seems that they are mainly available in 10? :dry:
Anyone else got any concave wheel MR2 pics?

I think you would need to combine the concave wheels with a wide arch kit. Then you could go for the 10" option and have more grip than a F1 car  |

Yeah, you might be right.. It seems that Concave needs to have a 10" to do properly... hmm back to drawing board as I am not a fan of wide arches...

I would love to buy that TRD. Only problem is I need a big shed, on a property, plenty of spare time and a lotto win. Then I could truly loose myself in this hobby
I could never sell the 2 I have, I'm in some strange gimp  like relationship with it. I love it, cherish it, throw money at it, and in return it *^(*&(s me up the (*&... If I had two mr2's that would really be the end of me...  
KC for the centennial. How about some kind of write up contribution  , you might get a few more then |

What kind of write up are you talking about? I could write about who I have spent a shed load of money on my 2 to keep it standard 
OR
I could do a write up on next weeks drive to Fermanagh.
OR
Ricky could do the write up as punishment for bad mouthing me
I like the last one myself 
KC for Ricky so that I wont feel so bad slapping him next week  |

Those are 5zigen FN01R-C, very popular wheel in the USA for MKII's. I believe they are quite light weight and high quality. They're available in a variety of colours/finishes etc. Here's some more pics on MKII's:

I quite like the look of them but they're not that different to Enkei RP01's.. which I have on my car

I had the FN-01 RC's on the front of mine for a good while and jesus they are light, it makes sone difference to the cornering.

Definetely for the better, I sold them off and have the standard wheels now and it feels like you trying to turn a tug boat.
IMO light wheels are one of the cheapest and most effective mods you can do to the chassis dynamics of a car.
There is better info out there on this but wikipedia is the quickest I can put up at the mo.

Dont know about the other one though, I think Red doesn't like the wheels.
I know its not our national language
Are you sure about that?? I think English is better spoken in Ireland than in some parts of England  |
