^^ Thats hot. Not over done and sleek :). I'm lovin yours. Kinda reminds me of the OEM Integra/ITR kit that people put on their integras.

thanks i want to get new rims. does anyone know if enkei rpf01's come in a high enough offset?
 
I really like your car EconOmikS. That lip you got on the front end looks really great! And i don't have to mention the color :P

Are you gonna keep / remove the side moldings?

yes they do

16x7 _ 5x114.3 _ 43 offset
17x7.5 _ 5x114.3 _ 48 offset

either of those would work just fine (assuming you use a reasonable tire size)

I doubt you'd want 18s but these could fit with rubber band tires:

18x7.5 _ 5x114.3 _ 48 offset

Hey its a fellow edmontontonian!! That red protege looks to be around Northgate

Come check out the Edmonton Mazda Club at http://www.edm-mazdaclub.com/

You are correct. I found my (the deal is done) Protege at Kentwood Ford. And, after driving around the city, I haven't found another Protege of the same colour. So far, so good, lol.
By the way, your black Protege is rare and nice. I also see the dent that you have mentioned, well, if you look at my pics and look closely at the driver's side front fender, you will see a dent there. I am not happy with the dent, but it came with the package. Sadly, these dents take away from the look of the car, but having this car far outweighs the dent (s).
I look forward to making some new additions to my Protege, and it will start with installing my Kenwood deck....
 
thanks mad_dream for the comment. i actually did remove the side moldings but i guess when they sprayed the car they put it clear coat on after the side moldings (idk if this is how it's supposed to be done). but yah so when i took them off you could see and outline of where the molding was.

and thanks nate0123 for the info and link. i'm still debating whether or not to change my rims or go back to stocks and drop the car another inch or so.

Definitely love the oem kit. Wheels go well with it too.

I actually like the rims you have on now... I had similar ones in gunmetal back in the day

Lunatik im sorry but im thinking about getting the same wheels you have. i have reasons.

1. wont have to paint lip (if any are left).

2. goes good with red.

3. smoke out headlights and maybe taillights

4. matches painted grille

5. makes the car look "harder."

my car tell me what you guys think. and does anyone know where i can get a grill? haha

love the car, making me think about getting the p5 bumper. just don't know how that lip will look with my wings west sideskirts.
for the grill you could get them off ebay, they don't exactly fit right, but i think mine looks good. check out my cardomain page to see.

Whose car is that? Any full pics of the car? I like this pic, first sand mica i've seen with a WW wing.
 
Whoa, thats a silver car? It definitely look like sand mica in that picture. Very cool!
 
So I finally got my car back after getting hit the begining of January. The last pic is of the damage the truck caused, I picked up the bumper and set it in place but imagine it hanging by one screw on the drivers side.
