Alloys for MK2??????

[Wright-MK2]

Hi All,
Iam looking to put some alloys onto my Mr2, Thinking of 17's but not sure which ones. My car is Black and iam looking for black alloys on and have been looking at these:


Konig Hurry


Konig Theory


Konig E-Racer Black

Feedback would be greatful cos i really can't decide. Also other wheels options shud be given (open to ideas).

Thanks

I like all of the above equally, but not enough to put em on my car. and i cant really say which one you should go for,
but

These are the ones im after, what do you think of them?

[Quigonjay]

Im after some alloys myself and have been looking at some black ones with a polished lip as my car is black too.. go for the top one first with the middle pic coming second... not really keen on the bottom one as its a little to boxy for my taste.

How much are these wheels mayb you can get better

have a look at them links in the post above.. i'd go for the Professor SP1 Black they look awesome

Yuck. I bet they all weigh a bloody tonne as well.

Enkei RPF1's. I've just bought a set of 17x7 and 17x8 for my car
6.8kgs per rim, lighter than toyota factory 14s.

more importantly, i asume all these wheels have a width of 7j???
7j all round is not a great idea, you ideally need wider wheels and tyres on the rear.
considering the costs of some of the wheels youve picked, you could get some decent width wheels just about (e, 800-1k mark).
im after the same black/polished look on my car.

TomThumb those rims look sweet, if my Mr2 weren't black then thats the sort of rims i wud be looking for

[Wright-MK2]

SpittinFlames, I have found them cheaper, as you can see by the images they were on Motor-World.co.uk. I found the Konig Theory's for under £700 so thats a saving of at least £250 (with tyres). Smart-Car was the company (google "Smart-Car" for their site") they have lots of stuff, u normally see them in the max-power or fast car mags.

I just go these for my black car. Actually downgrading from 17s to 15s, but think they do 'em in 17 too:

The "black chrome" effect is nice, and cuts down on the bling factor. Also think the ten spider spoke style is great on the 2, so would have to go with the 'Hurry'. :-)[/img]

personally i reckon a 5 spoke design looks the best on a 2 (in general)... polished lip with anthracite spokes rather than black.

Why didn't you guys post up a day earlier!! Except you JimGTS, seen your earlier posts.

I have a white car and I'm also going for the black with polished lip look.

Eventually I decided on these,

http://www.topgear.co.uk/acatalog/4x_17 ... deral_.php

£840 with 205/40/17 on the front and 215/40/17's on the back, all TOYO proxes.

I know the widths aren't ideal, but I don't plan on racing my car on the road or on the track, so for the price I think that's not a bad deal.

They also do interest free finance, which I'm hoping I'm ellegible for!

I prefer the first set of Konig's by the way!

I have been looking on that "Rare Rims" site since you sent me the link G!and i have seen these. what does everyone think?

[stevowaring]

Will they fit a mk2?

I looked at these and noticed that the PCD bit says 4 x 100 and mk2's have 5 studs! (I think 5x114.3)

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, jsut got to look out for these things!

Steve

[Wright-MK2]

nope your right mate, i just got carried away with the looks, i have emailed rare-rims to see if they do a 5 stud 5x114.3 version. iam loving the look though will be disappointed if they don't, maybe get them to make sum in bulk order!!!!

[Wright-MK2]

they have emailed back, (Rare Rims) they say that they are getting them in soon, yes first mr2 in the UK with em. "Sold to the man in the white hat!"
