Mine are 19x8.5 +48 (with 15mm space to clear bbk, +33) and 19x10.5 +35. My tires are 245/35 and 275/30. Didn't want to go too wide up front since I wanted to be hella functional over hella flush

Had to chime in with installed wing pics. Need to get the trunklid touched up from where the stock wing rubbed down to bare metal and have the holes filled. The rear downforce over 45mph is amazing...

SOOOOO HAPPY I found a pic of an 8 with this wing !!!!!! thank you !!! Solidified my purchase idea!! Any flexing of the trunk ?
I have read that wings with bases mounted not to the extreme sides of the trunk tend to flex the trunk....
My trunk is CBF...

Does it count if I bought mine as a parts/donor car? lol Picked up last month for $1,700 with a fully intact drivetrain and all wiring and suspension parts. Still hard to believe she went out with only 18,885 original miles (16,800 something confirmed through a local mazda dealer), but everything looks to be in good shape overall as far as the drivetrain goes. I'll be gutting my S1 completely dry and swapping the drivetrain from the R3 along with all wiring to my 04' S1.
*I'm also selling all the suspension parts from the R3 though, i'm going with a complete mazdaspeed suspension and chassis bracing setup instead

My baby :)
Bought June 2015 with 60000km (that's like 40000 miles I think...). Shame it did not have the OEM rims but I got used to the enkei and now wouldn't have her any other way!

More fancy stuffz to go with my #R3S1 build:)
So I bought these, I know they're not R3 seats, but they're close enough I think. Sadly they're not in great shape, but i've talked to a few upholstery shops that said they should be able to get them looking good again and retain the original material

And I see your plates. Who are you with, if you don't mind me asking?

$30 from each plate goes to the Military Members and families education fund. Seems like a good cause for people who give so much for their Country.
