19 inch polished silver motegi dpk

I will post better pics this weekend

Wow....Very Very NICE!!!

Btw...your garage is way way too clean :D

Those look incredible mikeb. Finally some one who shares my tastes! Best looking match so far. :cool:

its about dam time mike...looks good bro...are those one piece wheels? and how many inches do you have in the rear?

Very nice, Mike. But I notice your lowering springs (Eibach's as I recall) seem to have settled a bit too much in the rear. Or, is that just the pic?

BTW, you need to change your avatar now too. :D

Hey Mike, is there any rubbing? Cuz I'm considering the Eibachs too.

Those look sweet!

there is no rubbing

the springs have settled more as time has gone by
and the back does appear lower than the front

they ride great/ no problems

I can't take the credit on picking the wheel
I saw pics of these rims on mdw3333 and Mrs. showoff car and that helped me make a choice

Did you custom paint the calipers or upgrade them to a set that was red?

I just painted the calipers red with VHt paint

Those are ummm....unique. Love the fat polished lip.

Take some outside pics for us, b!

Any difference in ride quality with the 19's on now?

Well done. What is the off-set and wheel width?

They are 8" wide with a +40 offset. They ride great on mine.

Hey Mike, try the original Mazda center caps in those. They snapped right in mine.

Hey Mike,

SMOKING! Wheel looks really good.

no offense or anything at all, but am i the only one who doesn't like the rims? everyone has their own taste i guess

those are tight...and your garage IS way to damn clean...what's wrong with you man?!

I kinda like them, but if I'm gonna get any rim to replace the gorgeously simple stock 18's, I'd get some real lightweight 18 or 19's. That's just me.

Time to change the avatar, b.

I took my car in for those 2 recalls this morning and they had these wheels for sale in front of their parts dept. When I go back this afternoon, I'll ask how much they are selling them for. I imagine they'll be pretty expensive coming right from the dealer.

which dealership? i wanna run by and check them out also...i'll be up in Suwanee today and tomorrow...dealers also get an unbelievable discount on wheels...of course they mark them up 2-300% also...

Jim Ellis Mazda, up by Dobbins AFB.

keep me posted
Im curious also
retail is around 250 each rim on these

Sweeeet!

How is the ride compared to the stock set up?
Do you notice anything different because of the taller setup?

Bill

the ride seems to be similar to stock
no drastic change

My parts dept/tire guy quoted me $245 each for 17". He didn't look up 18" or 19" though, but I would imagine a little bit more.

At $245 per wheel for 17", he's wacking you in the head. Damn dude, I'll sell them to you in 19" for that.

The package Mike and I have is no "taller" than stock height. Just a little more wheel and a little less tire (sidewall), that's all. Like Mike said, the ride is barely different.

As I said earlier, I love them and plan to be a type yellow rep by this summer....as for those Eibachs, car looks "right" from your latest side view and Eibachs will be on my order form as well.

Wow dude.

Looks clean!! You can never go wrong with a five star.

How much was it with rubber?

I want to see those on a black car. They look sweet!

im wondering the samething... btw nice calipers and take some outdoor daytime/nightime pics

i dont like these motegis, i think the spokes are too rounded. but overall its hot. nice

will these fit in 18s?

the site says they are 18x8 +40. I am really leaning towards these in hypreblack for my black RX8, what do you think? you cant go wrong with this wheel, in siver, chrome, or hyperblack.....wish someone local had it so i could see how the hyper looked ...oh well.

just checking fitment....what do you all think?

check out my post here, maybe you all can give me some advice....ive narrowed it down to 4 wheels at this point...
