My new wheel setup

New Drilled/slotted rotors, red calipers with Silver Mazdaspeed logo (Polak Graphics Stencil) and 19" TSW Staggered Montage rims. What do you think?

Jenkins--Seriously, you must make like 500 posts a day, my friend. Your post count has jumped tremendously in so little time! You are officially the biggest post ***** I've ever known :D

Personally, I'm not a fan of the rims. They look too similar to the stock wheels, only flatter in appearance, if that makes any sense. They almost stand out too much for my taste. Maybe a slight drop would do some good...? To each his own, though, right? Good stuff otherwise.

PS. The rotor in the closeup looks really scratched up at the top end. Is that bad/normal?

Nice rims, but they look so close to stock.

I like the stock rims just wanted something more classy. I do already have the full Racing Beat suspension kit sitting in my living room so the drop is coming :D
