Default Haven't Posted Here in a While, New Pics

Hey guys I went to a local club lexus meet in NY where there where some pics taken of my car. Since I primarily handle the 1pc Staggered lines while Derrick does the multi-piece custom made lines, I wanted to switch to a wheel that was 1pc, affordable, and still classy.

I had a thread posted to choose between the MRR HR2 and HR3 and in the end, I decided on the HR3. The full face design really helped to bring the other parts of the car with its VIP EXE styling together (IMO). I also wanted to do something different since everyone and their mother is trying to get a 5" lip on a Geo Metro nowadays (hehe). Although the wheels have no lip, the concave face really shows of the staggered widths.

MRR HR3
CHROME FINISH
20x8.5 - BBK CLEARANCE
20x9.5
235/35/20
275/30/20


If you guys need any info or a price quote on the wheels, please email or PM me:

I also recently had a host of ICE work done by a shop called Custom Creations in Staten Island, NY which is owned by CL Member DJsprinkles .

The upgrades include:

20" spare wheel shown with led lighting
Subwoofers are 10" alpine type R
Amplifier is a JL 500/1
13" Flush Mounted TV in the trunklid
The material that looks like bumpy leather is really ostrich skin!
There are also LEDs hidden throught the trunk which really looks nice at night.

Here are the pics:

Looks good Stef...I'm thinkin of painting mine monotone as well...all one solid goldish color.

I love the rims & the system setup...damn ostrich? lol that's overboard you baller, you...ha ha

sunny brings up a good point though...how DO you get the spare tire? or is it just for looks?

Me too.....but these are killer. You can sport them only on a car like this.

I may be in the minority here, but I think these look way better than the iFORGED on this car. They really have that EXE VIP look, while the iFORGED were a little too sporty for a big luxury sedan. (just my opinion though)

I have always like this style from MRR too.

The trunk floor is hinged I believe to give access the spare

I rolled down to ATL with Stef this morning and these wheels in motion are a thing of beauty.

concave face = dish face.

Very nice man, from the paintjob, to the rims, to the cleaness of the body
