323F @ Fondmetal/Radius R2 205/40R17

[TStar]

after an odysee i got them finally installed today (yes, wheelhouse borders had to be crimped).
the lug nuts were ordered from italy (3 weeks to arrive!), tuev inspector made mistake with certification etc.. i don't want to bore you with the details, just 2 of them:

- my car now sits about 3cm higher(!) than with my winter rms (which sucks)
- all in all installation material+costs = 290 ...... i feel no happiness today. (monkey)

nice car!

what sideskirts are those?

 

[TStar]

from the postert hero3 set

 

[BadApple]

Looks really nice...i just dont like how the bumper looks like it came off of a Sedan...i guess i am just used to my American P5...
Beautiful car though!

 

[igdrasil]

props...looks damn great

 

[mp3josh]

That is nice!

I think it looks hot,really nice, keep it up.

 

[Leppy]

That is the sweetest P5 I've seen in quite some time... was it badged 323F originally and you put the Protege5 badges on it?

and I SO want those rims... they're 4 lug, too!!! Any idea on US$ translation and where i can get them in the states? I love how they look stock with the flying M centercaps. It's now a toss-up between those and Mazdaspeed Miata rims...

 

[dominoy2k1]

damn dude your looks awesome!

 

[jflo]

that looks nice...like a factory wheel option

 

[TStar]

thank you for the compliments.

that's how my car looked back in 2002 when i bought it

i put the oem bumper from a "323f sportive" on my car (which equals the p5 (i just kept the headlights)), the skirts from postert. still i have nothing useful for the rear (i would have to do additional work on most rear skirts to make the twinpipe muffler fit)...in early 2003 it was when i put the p5 badge on it.

leppy:
unfortunately i took my little website offlinefor now, but you can get the rims from every mazda dealer, since they're official accessory for the BJ series...

the radius r2 wheels i have are pretty decent, but you might like the look of the other rims fondmetal makes...
their 6200 series are the most stunning rims i have ever seen on a protege (one of the mazda mechanics here has it on his 323f)

part no.

for my rims, the fondmetal/ "radius r2":
15x7 inch: 1503-v3-810
16x7 inch: 1603-v3-810
17x7 inch: 1701-v3-810

for the fondmetal 6200 model:
15x7 inch: 1509-v3-810
16x7 inch: 1606-v3-810
17x7 inch: 1706-v3-810

just say to the dealer that you want the 4/100lug version, they should be able to get you those rims (and if you order them with a mazdealer,you will get the accoding caps,too). fyi: those rims are really sturdy (10,5kg per rim). something to have fun with for a long time.

i was lucky i got those from ebay 2 years ago..the whole set for like 200... (cabpatch)

 

[Leppy]

I wonder if I could fit a 215/40R17 on those...

 

[36Crazyfists]

Hey leppy, I noticed in your sig that you have some fogs mounted behind the front grill, do you have anymore pics of that??? i've been thinkin of doin the same thing

I really like the postert sides, and the rims look slick too

[kickniteasy]

[never Ender]
