Good :) I love the sard front, similar to border but less common. If you ever do want to get rid of it

I mean if it ends up sitting a similar distance out the guard, so a lower offset. At least it'd fit that way, even if it was way out the guard, get the offset too low and the wheel wont go on at all due to it hitting suspension.

can't say I agree with that there. Those work wheels are far more "boy racer" looking than re30 or ce28 to me. Not that it matters, they still look very nice.

RE30's in black are so sinister it's not funny. I'd love to get some for my car (red/black theme) but my money tree and connection's don't stretch that far :(

It's a matter of opinion I guess. I really just feel that way cos when I'm in my native country (Philippines) there's thousands of Hondas rolling around in Work Emotion, TE37, CE28N & RE30 replicas it kinda killed those wheels for me, although the originals will always be AWESOME & lighter than the Meisters.

I watched it, but forgot that line. There was some hilarious one-liners in that movie though [88] The black Aussie wins.

[88] Yeah it's funny you say that. I've had those wheels since 2001 when I had my car imported from Japan. Baka mamaya sa taong ito  however I'm still undecided as to what wheels to get.

WOW. Nice work Jason. Finally an MR2 with the right offset. Offsets make a difference. Your old wheels were weak and had no "STANCE" Set your specs up (offsets, rims and tyre sizes) on www.rimtuck.com Thanks Chester
