I was so tempted to get those V10 wheels when I saw your avatar. Those wheels look good standing still, and even better rollin'. I should do some rolling shots myself, to see if my wheels look as cool
lol I am still on the hunt for some new rollers... they will have to at least look as good as your set up, you set the bar for me.
Cheers

thanks for the kind words guys... it means alot
Chamberlin, I have to say I like the direction your car is heading... and the wheels you have look great with the ms front and the BBK. How come you want new wheels?
IMO, I would say leave the car as it is... and just get some side skirts and rear add-ons... I would recommend the Ings sides and rear, I think it would compliment your car perfectly.... That is if you wanted my opinion
obtw... I want your mirrors

I think it might flow well... the lip on the MS front can actually look like a "splitter" or addon... Might be a good look... I'll see if I can find any pics of a car together with those kits.

I have already gone through 4 different sets of wheels, haven't been happy 100% for one reason or another...these Privats look a little too wagon-wheel to me, and since I am not a baller that can go-wide body and deep dish lip rims, they just look a little anemic, especially in the rear...
If I could find some and make a deeper offset work without too much trouble, that'd be cool...
I also want to get some skirts too, the other Mazda do-dads side add-ons popped up on ebay etc. so I sprung for them cheap.... but the Ings skirt would be my first choice....can't believe how much they want for the pre-painted MazdaSpeed skirts... robbery.
Well I also want to get a custom rear lower diffuser, but I do have over $500 dumped into my factory rear bumper, as I cut out the fake grill work, put in real stainless perf, and had the whole thing prepped and painted... but of course the giant AP exhaust melted the whole thing up pretty good around the shrouds so I am pretty pissed about the whole thing, and hate even looking back there.... here are pics from the first day they were installed, only minimal melt down...

wow.... that sucks.... Im actually surprised that it melted the shroud. hmmm.... so it may actually be worth going the full mazdaspeed kit.... since the rear is alot bigger then the stock... even with the INGS the exhaust outlet size is the same as stock.
IDK I think your wheels now look awesome.... better than the ones in the last photo IMO

heres the PS of it I want to make it work with the oe rear so more people will be attracted to it,,, its about third on my to-do list and prob wont be done till the winter,,, just giving ya a heads up,,,
I know the angle kinda obscures the design but since its not fully designed out yet it is what it is,,, you be able to get a pretty good idea since we both have the same wing(you were the one that inspred me to get mine)
