Default Which of These Wheels Would You Test Fit on My Car????

Okay guys here's the deal, D2 has a 06 promo car show team as you all may already know. Any way each of the cars has some eye candy for different different markets. The only thing we're missing is the one piece staggered market, all of our cars with the exception of one has multi-piece, expensive wheels. Being that I handle the one-piece sales I choose my car to market the one piece staggered wheels.

Only problem is I don't know which wheels to try. Being that my car shares the same brakes as the supra TT my wheel selection is narrowed down to just a few. I also want to try the dish face look, but I am open.

Here is my car now:





These are the wheels I have picked out:
MRR HR3




MRR HR2




MRR GT1

I am leaning towards the HR3's because I think my car will look longer and lower with the dish face wheels. The size will be 20" staggered and I am looking at chrome but also considering brushed, or both, lol.

Let me hear it fellas

I'd pick the HR3 also, it's a different look.

I like the HR2 because it is a variation of the Work 305's which I like. (One of my original wheel choices.) The mesh is also nice. In that order.

Nooooo don't get rid of those beauties.....(if your gonna sell them you know who you can PM ). I'm pretty sure you car is perfect.

But I think the HR2' s would be interesting. The spokes on the HR2's extend to the tip of the rim so in 20" it'll look HUGE. The HR3 has that full-faced design so it'll look HUGE as well, but I don't really like flowers.

I think you should slap on some HR3's, or even though they are not any of the options here the STATUS RR5 will show us budget minded peeps a look similar to the one you are currently rockin. I am curious to see how any of these would look on your ride, as I am soon to be in the market for a 95-97 LS. Some of the one piece wheels you carry have my attention, two of them are choices here. Get them on so we can drool .

Wow guys I'm loving the response this thread is getting. I have three weeks before the wheels come in but I am really liking the HR3's. I think I am going with chrome though, although I think the brushed would look really classy. As you see I am wrecking my brain..............

I wish I could try them all, lol

GT1's in chrome or the HR3's in brushed. If you go with the brushed look then your exhaust is gonna stick out like a sore thumb since nothing else on the car will be chromed except for the front grill. Right now, the chrome style on your current rims balancing out the chrome tips of your exhaust from the side.
