No worries man, just thought I'd throw my opinion out there, if the OP was thinking of dealing with them.

hari-bhari, I think the concavity of the wheels would would look awesome on our cars, done right, especially since no one (Solara-wise) nowadays is really experimenting with such fitments/looks. If you could get something like 19x8.5 w/a +30ish or lower offset, 225/35 rubber, and some camber bolts dialed in, it'd look righteous.

i did some more photoshopping with the mb battles and a more accurate view of the primax 786. i think the mb battles are a little too concave to look good, the ones i photoshopped were 9.5" width so they are REALLY concave. but even beyond that, i think the way the spokes taper make the wheels look smaller. i photoshopped them to the exact size of my current 18s but they look more like 17s esp with the side view.

i still like the advan f7s the most since they are slightly concave but they are way too expensive. the motegi mr7s are discontinued, and the primax ones are ok but i dont like the shape as much. right now though i am leaning towards the primax 786s. does anyone have more suggestions?

seems to me the battles cant be but so concaved... i figure your wheel bolts up to the same spot so the only way they could be more concaved is if they stick out alot further. maybe the pic of the wheel you used in photoshop is not accurate because it came off of a different car where the axle is more recessed therefore the rim is more concaved? but honestly man they both look sweet. maybe i should get some seven spoke rims!? LOL j/k.

Wow. I kinda like those MB Battles! I'd love to see them in anthracite, silver and gunmetal on my Supra!


Price is so good I'd just order a set if I liked them... if it weren't for TIRE $$$'s!
