Agree with Mike - the 348 wheels look just right:

But then it would look like a 355 but without the upturned rear lip (see the yellow 355 in the pic behind the 348) - too many fake 355's out there as it is

Doug as an ex-Ferrari owner i can see the bitterness... Everyone replicates the 355 cause its an uncomplicated look...the 348 is much harder to get a kit for the MR2

PS the std wheels are just wrong for today...looked good when the car first came out...all i am doin is bringin it alittle upto date as IMO the shape is timeless

Just ordered new mats with a silver 348TB embroided on,plus these gauge rings and an alloy pedal set
