Well I have to be honest, I wasn't 100% on the colour when I got them back from refurb, but having had the tyres fitted(Yoko AD08) and put them on the car I'm sold!
I know they won't be everyone's cup of tea but anyway, pics!
I have some universal centre caps which I'll fit at some point once I've decided what logo to put on them.

Looking good
How much did the refurb set you back?

Thanks man
£200, it was that price because no tyres needed removing and refitting, I removed all the bolts and I went for painted lips instead of polished.

(Assuming this is an opinion thread), personally I don't like them. I'm not really a fan of the colour you've chosen.

Thanks guys, except Jack - you smell.
Seriously though no bother, I knew it'd be a marmite colour when I chose it

Re: New wheels fitted
I still love the OEM orange indicators and toblerones look so it works well with them.
My dad thinks mine will look naff back to OEM for those two bits; I think I'd have to change the wheel colour to pull it off completely.

Re: New wheels fitted
I think you're right there Stu, they wouldn't look as good if it weren't for the orange indicators.

Nice, suite it really well.
Re: New wheels fitted
The colour doesn't offend but the style of wheel really dates the car.

to be fair, the MR2 MK2 was introduced in 1989. It should look dated JDM retro Yo!

A Rev 3 on MR2 still looks relatively fresh, especially if fitted with a suitable set of wheels and clear indicators and repeaters. Those wheels date the car. Retro style wheels suit Mk1 MX5s, for example, but look wrong on Mk2 MR2s.
