Help me find the other 2x matching rims please !

I aquired these bad boys for a heck of a deal ( they were used for one 1/4mile runs THATS IT) and now I like them much more than my 15x8 et20 with 5mm spacer rims that have 225/50zr15 proxies.. these new ones are msw ( Oz) but I can't find what offset these rims have. Here's some numbers on the rims..I found 2x very similar rims but not sure if they are them as ones a 35mm offset and other is a 42mm I belive . So I'm not even sure what these are but I will dismount them tomorrow and check for more numbers on the inside of the rim to hopefully help.
if you could plz find me the exact rims and somewhere to purchase them from. That would be A GREAT help !
stay safe N motor on !

You might have to measure to be absolutely sure.

Them rims is available in 37 or 42 offset as you said.

Tire Rack is pretty particular with regard to specific vehicle fitment and they list the 37 as being correct:



Do they really weigh 19lbs each?

That's pretty heavy for a 7x16

JDM wheels often include a spec sticker which is nice.

I've always wanted a cool set of forged wheels and the Mugen MF8 is a favorite because I've always loved eight spoke designs.

Help me find the other 2x matching rims please !-rqlqqby.jpg

16x7 weighs in at 12.7 pounds.

But they're so damn expensive and hard to find!



I'm not rich enough to throw that kind of loot on wheels! LOL

SSR Type C would be my 2nd choice,
but they're also mad expensive.

Awesooooooooome , I found on the backside lip of the rims the exact info I needed. It was very very faint so I outlined it in permanent marker ( also so my derderder self didn't forget )...
ooooooooooonly thing is Im now contemplating if I even bother getting wider archs now because I really really like how these rims look vs my other set and with these I wouldn't need wider archs, spacers or extended lugs...I will post a Pic of my car with both sets on and let me know your guys opinions please.
