O-M-G!! Absolutely Beautiful!! and your Turbo'd!? I'm Jealous!

 

makes me want to forget about adding the mazda appearance package and just save up for the MS kit

 

I would but i'm not sure how that would affect my jDm percentage. I'm already slacking at 96.6% (btw, that is actually an exact measurement). Also, i think its nice to have some protection infront of the intercooler.

WOW! thats a dam good set up. Best looking Winning Blue with a great off set that fits and thats not too over board. 's up
Now get some tint

 

Remove the black bar at least

Looks good bigO.

 

Thanks,
and i actually have tint. The windows are just rolled down in the pics. The tint is even on all the windows (i forget the percentage)

The intercooler sits right beneath the black bar now, if i were to take it off, it would just look very empty/dirty. Because of how the inercooler sits, with it on it looks very natural, IMO.

 

Looks good lund! Came together very nicely.

 

Update... i got a nail in my tire's sidewall... meaning i'll have to put a new tire on this coming monday.

The point of all this is... a new tire means the old tire will have to be unmounted, at which point i'll take a scale in and weigh the rim. This will be for the back wheel which is 19X9.5.
Results should be interesting.

 

Cool....... Ok well not cool with the nail part that sucks Donky Ball$ but yea let me know how the 19X9.5 wheels weigh.
Thanks

 

Weighed the wheel yesterday. The rear wheel which is 19X9.5 weighed in at 20lbs. I'm VERY happy with that. IMO, Thats a very good weight for a wheel of that size.
If comparing to a stock 18X8 wheel that is 23lbs. This is 3 lbs lighter while 1.5 wider and 1" taller (3.14" greater circumference )

In other news... my 17X9 track wheels come in on Monday. Got the Enkei RPM2 for a real good price at Discount. I'm not a big fan of how they look, but its a good wheel for its purpose... so yeah, i'm pretty excited. I may get them powder coated bronze down the road, but at the moment i really dont care. Hopefully they fit, EEK!!

right...but the size of the tire probably makes the entire assembly weigh more than the stock. atleast that's what mine "feels" like

 

Yeah probably, but thats to be expected. These are just my daily driving "bling-bling" rims so weight wasn't too important for me, but I'm still impressed on how light they are.

 

yea...i was really impressed on how light the sf-challenges were. so if the g-game wheels are your daily driving wheels...what's the weekend shoes???

 

I edited the upper post but probably should have made a new one.
I ordered the Enkei RPM2 in 17X9 for autocrossing and a few track days this coming season.

Nice BigO, and thanks for taking the time weigh them. It's safe to assume then that the front x8.5 are even lighter.

DanO - how much did the sf-challenge weigh in?

 

sorry man, i don't have an exact weight. just basing it off my feel.

 

Man that install looks great, what a professional job. Seriously car looks good. But man does it look good in the night light it looks so mean.

 

INDEED!! Best Install Ever, thanks for all the help.
Yeah, i love it in the night... thats when its really in its zone. As soon as the wing gets on i'll make sure to take some good night pics

Awesome. They look great.

One down, one to go. lazi better hurry up!
