56k be warn...mrtux's ride

from previous thread...the 5x100 is not the bolt pattern even though it was stamped there. i've recently seen other ce28ns with both 5x100 and 5x114.3 both stamped on them. the thing that blew me away was these wheels accept tpms!!! supposedly they are on now without any drilling or sealing down on the wheel...hopefully they wont come off or leak...:o i recently had the ms springs/shocks installed so those are still settling in and i removed the front plastic bar on the usdm version of the mazdaspeed bumper and replaced with some new grille.

i quickly snapped these shots. i'll take some better ones later this week.

for the specs on wheels its:
volk racing ce28ns:

19x8 43+ offset 235/35/19 toyo proxes t1s
19x9.5 35+ offset 265/30/19 toyo proxes t1s

got grille from summit racing. its the autotechnica type grille or something. i had to buy 2 of them to fill the 3 air ducts on the ms bumper. they have different sizes so you might have to buy the bigger one if you plan on redoing the usdm ms bumper.

OMG MAN! That is the sweetest 8 I have seen! I love it. Everything turned out great and awesome pics too. Even though the MS kit is seen so much there are still some that can make it stand out amongst so many others and yours is deffinitaley one of them! Good Job.

i still need to put my front stealth turn signals and hyper white bulbs on for high beams and parking lights, but i forgot to ask the guys doing my wheels to install them.

i forgot to take pix of the inside but im going all for that piano black look. i have my door handles on and plan on getting the steering wheel pieces and side console panels like that from the shinka.

i want to try getting that plastic thats near the wipers... custom painted black and maybe the wipers powdercoated black. im tired of seeing that dull texture plastic on the outside of the car.

NICE ... very NICE.

I've been looking into getting those same wheels (silver though), but I'm worried about how 19s would effect the ride quality. How does your ride ...uh... ride as compared with the 18x8 rollers.

Nice freakn ride man.
