surely there are rims for sale on TM that suit? 17" and 35p offset should be reasonably common? Or is it the staggered set thats hard to come across?

any rim with fake dish and massive curved in spokes like the above rim is a fail I reckon, they just don't look as tough as the rims you have on at the moment.

Can centres not easily be sprayed black if need be? I reckon gunmetal doesn't look out of place on a black car.

compared to rays they are still bricks.

the advanti stage won't go without spacers and guard work either.

Yea, thats what I wanted to get for the MR2, but this set of RP03's came along very cheap. They're a bit scuffed up, but I'll get them cleaned up and powder coated.
