Thumbs up MKII MR2 wheel idea

I decided to get a new set of wheels for my mr2. I got a set of 4 15lb, 16x8 wheels for $250. As you might tell, it's a stock FD wheel I painted with gunmetal dupli-color wheel coating and clear coat. I think they're pretty sweet. I did need spacers up front, but I'll be going from a 195/55/15 front and 225/50/15 rear to a 225/45/16 front and 245/45/16 rear, and it will be lighter than stock and nearly retain the stock outer tire diameter.

They dont look bad, they save weight, they were cheap, and they add grip Im not seeing any down side. Good pick up

3 are from a "93" which means they were made in 92, and one is a "94" which was manufactured in 93. The odd 93 wheel is slightly heavier, but it's too late to do anything about it now
