Re: bit of a dilema (need the OCs help) with wheels
Depends what look you want to achieve really.
The sparcos are nice, very show like and JDM but on a stock car like yours, the r32 wheels look more stock especially if you give them a lick of silver paint.

Re: bit of a dilema (need the OCs help) with wheels
Are the R32 wheels 15's?
If so i think you should stick with the Sparco's and sell me the R32 wheels
In all seriousness though i think the Sparco's do look better

Better still get rid of both and get these - easily the nicest wheels I have seen on that colour MR2.

Silver FTW (and sparco definatley!) Copper or gold do look nice also but silver keeps the car looking clean and together if you see what I mean... Blends in with the 'goose - unless you could get the exhaust annodised gold????wibble wrote:
