How to find rare-ish wheels? (5zigen fireball typhoon)

[MrSix]

(I wouldn't want gun metal though)

I'm looking for a set of 5zigen fireball typhoons for my MR2 but I have no idea where to look for a set in the UK. Does anybody have experience tracking down hard to get wheels or can anybody offer any leads?

Only he doesn't want 'nearly rims', he'd like those ones.

Have you tried contacting rare rims?

You said it better than me
And I lolled at rarerims.co.uk....almost too good to be true given my thread title!

I'm not sure about the hugely generic claims really, I think you'd struggle to find many rims nowdays that don't have a cheapy replica.

I saw the typhoons in this video and thought that they looked great:

Same colour as mine but lowered, looks great imo.

those wheels dont look good it's a really nice car, there must be wheels out there that suit the MR2 better?

Please help me to find it then.
I've seen so many MR2's with after market rims that just look crap, this is the first set that I've seen and liked.

I want 5 spokes and I want dish...then 17".

I'm after staggered wheels with dish.
Mike's wheels do look quite nice, but they also weigh six tonnes each.
Those rotas are alright, but don't make me go "ooooh"...plus it looks like it's a 4x4

The Wolfrace somethings that are on my Skyline look very similar:

Note: I would never have chose Wolfrace rims myself, but I think they look great on the car. Take the Wolfrace badge off and nobody will know

Yeah they do look similar.

 

[MrSix]

No thanks, I like 5 spokes.

 

[MrSix]

Yuck.

I still like my original choice tbh.

Mrsix

Can i suggest selling the car as i dont think any wheels suit it

Yeah I was thinking that, there were so many wheels that suited the Golf that I might go back and get a 1.4 to save on insurance for a while.
