I would imagine any aftermarket wheelnuts of say, ebay, would work (obviously need to be the right thread for an MR2) as they will be the tapered ones.

Usually stock wheels have a radius curve but ours are flat but either nut is considered dangerous to use with an aftermarket wheel as there is not a full contact patch if the 2 are wrong and can come loose..

When I fitted my aftermarket wheels I bought a set of nuts off ebay for about £20 I think.

Some epic looking 2's on spyderchat in the US, seems the "Roadster" UK scene steers away from a good drop on coilovers, the 2 looks so much better around 40-50mm drop over stock & 30mm springs. Bit of a shame with zero arch gap and a decent amount of poke they can look pretty epic!

Imho it is more of a compliment to EU side drivers than anything else.
Lowering may lóók better, dríving wise it does not come without downsides.
Apart from the obvious reduction of ground clearance not everyone can get away with, it changes the geometry and the suspension needs to be stiffened up which does not improve roadholding on most real world secondary roads.

Keen on getting some bronze wheels for my grey roadster now it's got the power it deserves.
Anyone know what these wheels are? Trying to work out what they would look like on a standard car without a bodykit and huge spoiler.
I'm also having to put my plans to lower it on hold as my flat has the largest kerb I've ever seen and then a ramp down to the garage, so that would look different too.
