Default MY02's on WB

OK, I looked at every page of the "Coolest Wheels" thread. Does anyone have a WB car with MY02's? Would you share a picture of the side of the car, and especially what you've done with spacers? I'm new to this spacer stuff and would really like to see and understand what's involved. Thank you.

Here's my WB with MY02s. The WB meant spacers on the rears only. I went with 32mm H&R hub-centric spacers. I've ran with them for about 4 years with zero problems:

Thanks for the picture--and it's even of a silver car like mine! They look fantastic. I was worried they might not look "turbo-y" enough but I think they look great. Do you know the weight difference between these and the standard turbo twists?

I don't know the weight savings offhand, but I bet you could find that info here with a search.

What I do know is, these MY02s are about the lightest weight wheels you can buy. That's one of the reasons I liked them so much, other than the fact I think they look fantastic.

Let me know if you need anything else, and good luck. Should you buy some MY02s, I know you won't be disappointed

Beauty shots goofball.

Were your MY02's refinished in stock color or something different. About to refinish the ones I just picked up...

TO the op, what color is your car. In the all time coolest wheel thread, Chris Walrod's old car has my favorite color my02s. Page 3 post 44 Don't think that would work as well with my Midnight Blue, but that combo rocks!

Not refinished in any color. They came out of the box in the color you see. Just happened to match my Polar Silver pretty closely

^^^ I could be wrong, but I believe the standard turbo twists are considerably heavier than the hollow spoked wheels...

One of the nice things about Carerra IIIs is that they come in WB offsets and size -- i.e., 18x11 for the rear. Those are the next wheels to go on my car...
