Got three 17" Motegi's like this.

Can anyone help me find a 4th wheel to make a complete set?

Thanks.

Yeah, a bit of sanding, some colour and clearcoat... and an afternoon of work... and they could look like new again.

do you have www.craigslist.com where you are? that's often a good place for odds and ends.

So pretty much a 15-spoke MR-7...or the other way around.
Don't care for those wheels at all, but if it's a real good deal, go for it. Shouldn't be extremely hard to find another, that style of Motegi was uber-popular a few years back.

Also, you can look for an Exel Tz-15, which is essentially the same wheel outsourced to a different company.

Thanks so much everyone.

Actually I was just trying to help a friend find the 4th wheel for a Civic, then I was going to help him paint them white.

I wouldn't put those Motegis on my Vitz... too darn heavy @ 23lbs! Besides I don't really like dual drilled road wheels... only like dual drilled for weekend racing wheels.

BTW, the multi-spoke design, as well as mesh wheels (all in silver), are the two most popular styles for Vitz in Japan. The styles many of us like for the Vitz/Belta on this forum are used mostly for weekend racing wheels, and not as daily drivers in Japan.
