Todays forecast: Snownuts and hoonage, hot chocolate by the fire to follow.
Also, it seems like i replaced my tires with summer tires just in time! I got new rims with high performance summers on them (1st gen NSX rims shod in Dunlop Dizarella II's) I only got the rears on as the fronts need extended studs and I didn't feel like putting them on in 20 degree weather with snow.
Rears are 16" NSX rims, fronts are 15" MR2 rims.
Here's MR2's that arent mine.

Kudos on a clean SW20 MR2. I am a bit jelly... they are HIGH on my want list.
The wheels look good, the NSX wheels almost look like +1 variants of the OE wheels... If any car can pull off double-staggered wheels (staggered width, and staggered diameter, both wider and taller rear wheels) then SW20 MR2 can do it. With directional-tread tires, even just staggered width makes tire rotation a moot point, anyway.
But I would be sorely tempted to get a staggered aftermarket set in bronze... especially some light weight ones... like Jongbloed racing wheels or something like that. Flow-formed or forged... stronger per lb. of weight than cast. Plus those MR2s look great with wheels that have a bit of concave dish to them, to emphasize the width.
Although, even those NSX or MR2 wheels would look nice with a new bronze paint job.
Well chosen bronze/gold wheels look great on black cars, even ones that are pretty much stock and clean, otherwise.

That is a good deal. Nothing wrong with that. Are they the right offsets to work with MR2's suspension?

yes, needed spacers to bring them flush with the fenders though
