Default Ideas on wheels for 93 MR2

I screenshot this from a tire site. The color is VERY close to my blue, but want some inputs.

That looks great. I have always felt that the MR2 benefits the most from 5 spoke rims that are not to chunky (if you know what I mean). My dad also has an MR2 and while those look close to the stock rims, they are also defined enough to give the car a great look. Plus, bronze wheels are hot - if that is in fact the color you are going for. My vote is for those or something close to those wheels in the picture. Also, what site is image from?

Thank you! And I agree, bronze (color I want) compliments all shades of blue nicely. The screenshot is from discounttiredirect.com

I've been hearing from others that silver may compliment better and not take so much away from the car itself: silver:

I would say white or silver. That color just isn't working with that bronze.

Kinesis K57/8 or CCW Classics would be sweet.

Those wheels on the Exige look way too big. Way to destroy the delicacy and feedback of such a communicative car...

Whatever you do, don't get weaksauce offsets. Check out the VIP thread on the MR2OC.com to inspire you to push the limits...I'm saving up for some Work Meister S1 2P wheels...Gonna run it cambered, rolled fenders and I might flare the rears slightly for insurance

I say go find some old school Work Equip like EsoterEK posted. When I had my MR2, those where the wheels I was looking for. Either that or the SSR GPO. Make sure you get staggered low offset wheels so you got a nice lip back there.
