Wheels Are A Go...
 
Just got my new 18x10s installed today and also picked up my Mazdaspeed bumper(haven't gotten it installed yet). Here are some quick crappy cell phone pics for your amusement.

goona look sick once you get the MS bumper on

dozer 04-20-2009 02:56 PM

those are some wide ass wheels

Looks better than I thought, but you need some new exhaust shrouds or lots of TLC with Back to Black plastic restorer.

what width tire?

TopGear8 04-20-2009 03:06 PM

Now you need some clear corners.

Where can I get this product? I've thought about getting the Fluid Motorsports MS CF Rear Diffuser, but then again I've thought about the Varis CF Vortex Generator

I can't decide between clear corners or using VHT Niteshades on the corners and tail lights.

Fate710 04-20-2009 03:13 PM

Also, does anyone know where I can get a 3M Clear Bra for the MS Front bumper?

Jedi54 04-20-2009 03:13 PM

Fate: you can get back to black at just about any auto parts store or even the Meguiars NXT spray (purple bottle) works well on those plastic trims.

Fate710 04-20-2009 03:16 PM

Jedi,

Thanks for the tip, I'll look into getting some here really soon.



JUST AN FYI: the next mod this car is receiving is the Sprint Springs and MS Front bumper installed. It needs a drop and needs a new front.

there was a group buy for them...but I don't know what happened to the OP of that thread. Check the group buy section

J8635621 04-20-2009 03:39 PM

Yea check the groupbuy section at the top for 3m. I think the guy setting it up was highway8.

Fate710 04-20-2009 03:41 PM

yea I just read the thread and it has me very curious

Fortunate Few 04-20-2009 05:40 PM

not feelin the tire size but overall not bad. the next few mods will really bring it together.

mscamp02 04-20-2009 05:47 PM

^ I really like the tire size, kinda wish I would have done that instead of sticking with the 18x8

Fortunate Few 04-20-2009 05:54 PM

yeah idk i dont like the stretched look all that much. ive got 265/35's on my 18x9.5 i like how they look.

chrizknot 04-20-2009 06:21 PM

I think ninja when i see your wheels

Fate710 04-20-2009 06:29 PM

Well TPMS is confirmed to work on this wheel. I thought maybe it was a glitch that it was working at first, but I did have a tire that was infact a few lbs low.


Good to know we have another aftermarket wheel that works with TPMS.

I knew some would be skeptical of the tire size and not prefer it, but its a very very small stretch and I think it goes well with the car.

frankcastle123 04-20-2009 07:09 PM

too much black on that car

clear corners would look better. if you vht shade your corners its gonna look smokey orange

nvrfalter 04-20-2009 09:20 PM

looks really good. i dont love the chrome bolts around it, but its a great look. i debated getting a set that looked very similar before i got a nasty deal on my current ones. nice job. should either get clear corners or black the crap outta the stocks.
