fo real... that's some nice bling factor you got going.

Ask the mechanics what they did to make those fit.. if the offset is too small, you may experience rubbing and kiss tires goodbye way faster than you want to.

 

[night rider]

wow i really like it looks nice.

 

[Sic03Mazda]

Im in love (flash)

offset

i will call them and find out the offset of my rims.
he also told me the weight of the rims are about the same compared to the stock ones (20-21lbs)...
the dg front lip is VERY durable!!!! i ran into concrete, nothing happens. highly recommended.
thanks for the comments..
btw, i do have 4 17inch racing hart rims

*update*
offset is 44
no rubbing at all!!

 

[Lil Freek]

yeah.. an offset of 44 is safe for the sedan

next step.. BIG BRAKES.. i just looked at them at home.. so dinky (boom03)

19x7 or 19x7.5?

 

[aclick02]

rim

19x7 or 19x7.5?

they are 19x7.5's
yea, with the c5 spokes the brakes and the calliper's and very visible. i do want to paint my callipers, and maybe invest in some bigger brakes.
what color should i paint them, if i do?

btw, the cost for these rims with tires, mounts and installation cost 1750 out the door. the dude hooked me up sick.
impex motorsports 626 285 6630 ask for harry.

I remember the last time you posted your car and got flamed. Looks much nicer this time around. I think it looks real good. It would get destroyed on the roads around my house though haha

 

[FSDET]

what ?

 

[Gbourdon]

change of plans

OK...

 

[msp35]

Looks Good! (2thumbs)
I'd loose the RC car antenna though, just IMO.

Yo that's a tight ride. Nicely planned/thought out. One thing though, the sideskirt hangs lower than the front lip.

coilovers

Yo that's a tight ride. Nicely planned/thought out. One thing though, the sideskirt hangs lower than the front lip.

i had to raise the front end of my car for now because the wheels tilted inward. when i get my complete tein coilover suspension kit (hopefully next saturday) the front lip will match the sideskirts.

the back is lower then the front....to lazy to rasie it
aris

anyone know if the basic tein coilovers ($950) will lower my car the same as the skunk 2's i have on now?

 

[daedalus]

if you lower them enough i dont see why they wouldnt.

but i only know of a tein ss being installed on any proteges.

 

[aclick02]

ride

perfect. i want the drop the same, but with no stiffness!!!!
the guy told me the ride is great.

 

[Witchdoktor]

awesome wheel selection!

 

[aclick02]

racing hart
