Calling all RAYS wheel owners
The car patiently waiting for goodies that were supposed to arrive this past Friday...then Saturday...now ETA is Wednesday. FedEx sucks. So while the wheels were off the car, gave it a good scrub down. Here are some close-ups of the finish.

Thanks man, glad you like em
and yeah its formula silver .. i waited like 4 week's so it could be worse.. i will soon post some better pictures , im having a pro fotoshoot soon of my baby since it's the only registeret Mazdaspeed in denmark so they wanna shoot it for websides and stuff :P
Only 4 weeks??? That's awesome, especially for new models like that. Most of us in the USofA have to wait at least 3 months to get anything fresh off the showroom.
A drop would make for a killer photoshoot, if that's possible. I'm am glad you got the G2 with more of a lip. Most pics I've seen, the lip is non-existent, like the G7.

Tein S-Tech springs on stock shocks would probably meet your "looks" needs. A little more mild would be the Tein H-Tech or Racing Beat's springs. Any of these maintains a relatively comfy ride.

Seriously the Best Thread EVAR...
Oh and no wonder why Patrick was feeling my wheels so much.... the dude is running the exact same wheels on his clean *** MS ride.
I posted in a separate thread but just wanted to get my foot into this thread.
BTW Dan - if you're in NY for the first week of August definitely give me a call and I'll meet you for dinner or drinks, Oh and if you're still single I'll bring you a woman!

Does the 265 on 19x9.5 look abit stretch or is it the angle that the picture was taken? I was planning of putting 255/35 on 19x9.5 but if it is kinda stretch then I may have to put it on 19x8.5 on all 4 corners instead so that the lip edge can be protected from curb damage.

These are the wheels that I wanted on my crystal pearl white 8 ever since I saw them on the 2009 catalogue. Opane, you are lucky that you only waited 4 weeks, most of the places that I have inquired, is minimum 3+ months wait time and that's not even for the custom size or color.
