My p5 is pretty low for just springs, but I wanna go this low
i just read that you got 195's and have rs's.... im completely jealous.... i was gonna get a set this week!
u HAVE to keep me posted on um
what size are the rs's?
u might wanna trade with me one day if theyre 17's =)
my next set of wheels are pretty damn JDM btw
Here's my thread on the progress http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123790599-My-BBS-RS-Wheel-Progression-Thread
I'm painting the wheel's and polishing the lip's myself kind of a full restore..Not the cheapest wheel's but I love them. My Rs's are 16x7.5 +38 will have 8mm spacer..Had 17's myself before these but kind of like the look of being slammed on 16's.. so I went with it.
what wheel's are you looking into next or is it Top Secret

they were top secret, but im not getting those anymore, the guy who was supposed to buy my wheels flaked on me.
they were MS-01 MazdaSpeeds by Rays Engineering 17x8 +34 and 17x9 +35 ish
im getting a new set... these shall remain nameless at the moment
but anyway
from reading through your thread it looks like (from the pics) that you didnt fully take the wheels apart?
you painted the faces with them still on? or am i wrong?
17x8 +53 with 25mm spacers
Nah I did take them apart that's why I took all the bolt's off make's it way more easy to paint and polish the lip's.Will be taking apart my other two in alil bit and get them painted.But yea you can also leave the center's on and paint them while still installed that's my plan for when I get bored of this color.
Well for the first two I just stuck the whole wheel in the oven lol yes oven and set it at 350 degree's for about 10 min's and used a dead blow hammer to pop them off..But as for today they were being a pain in the ass so I just didn't split them. Also I hate to keep posting this in your thread..
lol no problem I just don't want to mess your build thread up with my crap lol.
Any new progress on your p5?
