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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
