Opinions on appearance.

Which wheels? I am partial to the stockers now that they are back on. I thought I loved the IKONs when I bought the car, but now I'm not so sure. They have brand spanking new Yokohama Avid rubber on them and are just sitting for now. Oh well, what do you all think looks better? (Sorry for the bad night pic, but you get the idea of what it looks like...)

i think the stockers look way better.they fill up the fender wells more than the chromys and my personal opinon is that chromys look nasty.but nice ride man.

Thanks for the feedback. Bought the car not that long ago. Mods from previous owner include: Injen CAI, SR Motorsports catback, Corksport intake duct, Eibach Pro Kit springs, Kartboy short throw and bushings.

I think the stock wheels look SWEET on Laser Blue.

Yeah sell the Icons, the stock wheels look better on your P5.

 

[Boston5761]

how much finger gap do you have with the stockers on, front an back?

 

[toucci]

what tires are those? I like the slightly round sidewall look and want to get something that grips better (I'm back on my O.E. rolling stock and miss the performance of my 17" tires)

i prefer stock. the 03 stock are better than the 02 stocks. i just bought some 03 stocks for my 02 and i really like the look. and i'd bet you can get a good price for the Icons.

The stock wheels look much better, something that might even look better than that is 17" mazda 3 rims. They look really good on a p5.

About 1.5 fingers in front and 2 in back. Of course the wheels can tuck up in there, that's just measuring the gap as if the tires were directly under the side of the vehicle. Previous owner rolled the back wheel wells because otherwise I think the stockers would rub in the back with the drop.

They are Kumho Ecsta tires. 205/50/16. Seem to be a good tire. I need new ones in the rear, they are pretty much fried.

The stock wheels flow better. I say sell the chrome wheels and get a new set, or spend the money elsewhere.

 

[CTt3P5]

Keep the stockers or you could trade me for my 02's...hehe With the ikon's it doesn't look like the car is dropped
