I must say, I've gone thru this whole thread, and I haven't seen a better matched set of street wheels to the Mazda body design. It's the perfect compliment to the car.
Rotas look cool too and very aggressive, but these jell with the Speed body perfectly for the street, IMO.

bbrich57 is right - moving from the stock offset to a markedly less positive one will indeed put more stress on the hubs and will increase the scrub radius, which definitely will change steering feel.
That's exactly why I had to copy him! I really wanted some Advan T5's (too expensive) or ROTA Battles (discontinued), then I saw these and found someone selling them on another forum for a great price. I ended up selling my stock rims for more than the new wheels + getting my tires remounted and balanced. Can't beat that!

Thanks man!
I always thought the GT-C was a classic wheel and I'm a little old school like that.
I got 'em from a place in California called vivdracing.com
They took about 16 weeks to get here and yeah, they were a pretty penny; About $750 each, but I always wanted a set of nice wheels, so it was worth it to me.
Thank you very much!! (thumb)

hey UCI,
do you go to UCI too? You mentioned the vsxxs and I remember seeing a silver ms3 with those wheels on a few weeks back during summer session? are you/did you take summer session too?

From the BBS line-up, I have to say that I personally like the LM-R series more...
... especially in the gray finish.
But anything BBS is good.

that looks out of control good.

Are they a real 2-pc wheel? Or one w/phony bolts? If so they should be able to put the offset where it's needed (+50mm or better.) And a 5x114.3 (4.5") bolt circle is pretty std too.
If U gotz da $$$, I'm sure they can make you happy.
If a one-piece pretending to be a 2-pc, then who knows?
