MSP Wheels on Protege5

[MikeBlueP5]

they usually sell for 750+ and with tires. the stock p5 tires will not fit due to being 16" size and the MSP wheels being 17"s

Problem solved. I had 18 inch Enkies and the hub rings stuck on the hubs. It took the tire shop an hour to figure this out when a brought the car back. MikeBluePro5 how much is your car lowered? What kind of springs? Any rubbing?

I take it you got the wheels to fit, do you have any pictures? I am the guy that you bought the MSP wheels from. I'd like to see what they look like on your P5.

I'll have to borrow a digital camera. I send you pics when I get them.

OK, so what's the verdict? Do the stock MSP wheels directly bolt on to a stock MP5 or is there a 1/4" gap? Thanks for the help

 

[MikeBlueP5]

the verdict is they fit, no problems, he had hubcentric rings stuck on his rotors from having a set of non hucentric wheels on there.

[MikeBlueP5]

[Chicken SOup]

SO is that it? No on else has pics of Mazdaspeed wheels on their p5? I love the way they look..
pls keep them coming

 

[CruzinAltitude]

As soon as I have a pic I will post them, I got the 3.5s last night, put them on, and DAMN do the look SICK. The only problem is I dont have springs, so the car needs to be lowered for the full effect.

 

[NCMP3]

DAMN!!! I cant wait to see that red p5 with the hyperblack rims sweet.

 

[CruzinAltitude]

I'll see if I can get the pics done today, and posted tonight!

I am probably gonna make a few people jelous, but there is also a lesson to be learned from my example..........

I got my MP# wheels for free from my mazda dealer.

heres how..... my stock wheels were pitting and I took them into get refinished under warranty.

they said it would be a while and I wasnt comfortable with having the wheels "refinished" so (being a good customer and not complaining at evry litlle mistake my dealer makes and chewing them out) I asked if they would hook me up.

and voila, new set of racing harts.


cost of Mazda Protege 5- 20 000 CDN
Cost of new rubber - 700 CDN
cost of new Racing Harts - 0 CDN

The looks on the faces of Mazdamp3.com when I tell them my wheel were free - Priceless.

hahaha Just kidding guys.

it also helps to take the service manager out to lunch.....

cbcbd and MikeBlueP5, do you have springs on your cars? They look great, btw.

 

[MikeBlueP5]

mine is lowered using ground control coilovers, but they use eibach springs.

 

[Chicken SOup]

Hey CruisinAltitude did you take the pics yet??

 

[CruzinAltitude]

Sorry guys, I havent yet. I dont have my own digital camera, and my roomates computer is still in Boxes. Its killing me cause I know you guys want to see it. All I know is it is screaming to be dropped!!! But it looks great. Ofcourse there is a new list of mods that are a must. I want to paint all the badges and the headlights (time to preheat the oven) to match the hyperblack of the rims. DAMN they look good!
