Can you get the likes of Event Tyres to turn up to the place the sprint event and fit some new ones once you've finished?

Simpler and cheaper than mucking about with scrap yards.

I believe Toyota wheels fit. MR2 wheels anyway.

will the mr2 ones fit straight on with my nuts?

Never tried myself, but have read around that they fit.

Not sure I understand this. I'm not advocating driving on illegal tryres, but if they are just about legal, I'm sure they will get you back from your event and get them changed for new ones the next day.

Event's website says £153 each for the correct RE050MZ tyres but they may give you an owners club discount. Give them a call. Even if you do pay £50 more overall, I can't believe it's worth the hassle and cost of buying some wheels and tyres from a scrapyard.
