TT350 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Mister 2's really suit TE37 style wheels. Especially white MR2 with white TE37's. The Rotas of the same style aren't that expensive in a 17" flavour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Weak offsets? Youre fitting them to an MR2, how wide are you making the arches? 2 is 8J ET35 and 9J ET35 which is 40mm more front and rear on an SW20, same as this set http://tinyurl.com/jzsk5sh and the 5th lot as well. Add a 20mm spacer and I doubt youll find overs that will fit, never mind The 18's are 18's but are lovely and quite cheap, the GTRs are not going to be the only set of 17's for sale for this money as well. And for me, youd be much better off spending the money on the rims and lows and not the rest of the car: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 Standard wheels sit deep into the arches so even 40mm won't give be much poke from the standard arches Iv got abflug arches which give around 30mm on the back and 20 on the front 9j et20 will sit right at the front. 8j et35 won't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRF4N Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 Prices are good on the jr3 but offset/width is better on the rotas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Prices are good on the jr3 but offset/width is better on the rotas Well then you need to decided what's more important fitment/finish or price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 Both lol hence the post I thought the quality of jr and rota were on a par? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Both lol hence the post I thought the quality of jr and rota were on a par? They are imo but there basically the same wheel if you prepred to pay an extra 3-400. Quid for a 20mm offset is up to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevoD Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Keep cheap if not spend as extra 2-300 more and get a set of genuine work or enkei Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 Enkeis are really popular on the mr2 forums but there's not many I like. There were some with a really low offset in 17s but they were worth more than the car I'm leaning towards the 16" JRs after seeing that black mr2. My missus said she preferred them out the 3 lol They're also the cheapest out the lot Il consider over the next few days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 16s really suit the sw20 although im not sure with a wide body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 Il need to do some more digging. Most of the wide arch ones have 17s or 18s. There are some double staggered with 16s on the front. Might need to get them photoshopped The other thing I'm unsure of with the JRs- for a low offset like 10 you would expect more depth to the wheel. Either a wider dish or more concave. But with the spoke design and stepped lip they seem quite flat for a 10 offset. Maybe it's just the pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's just the pics on one piece wheels the offset doesn't usually denote the dish sizes. for example look at works wheel on drift works you can get a 9.5 t7r with +38 and +12 both have the same measurements of the design face they just move the part that mounts to the hub in and out , where offset really makes a difference in dish is on 2pc wheels for example my work cr-2p you got more dish by lowering the offset which brang the whole center disk further inwards. What will give more dish/concave on a 1pc wheel will be its overall width. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 Yea that's what I mean But on a widearch car I'd rather have some depth to the wheel design Decisions decisions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FitmentJunkie Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 You need to up your budget if you want dish £400 splits, you're gonna struggle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 Yea with that budget il struggle. But you can get more depth with 1 piece wheels. The other 2 options have more depth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 you can get more depth 1pc wheels but not for the money your looking at ie £4-500, especially not in 5x114 unfortunately you have to make a sacrifice In Budget + good fitment = poor design In Budget + good design = poor fitment Good design + good fitment = out of budget if i was going the whole hog and doing a widebody build i would wanna hold back get some snazzy wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FitmentJunkie Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 (edited) I agree with Steve but the other way round Buy epic wheels and build the car around them 🖒 Edited December 7, 2016 by FitmentJunkie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
