WHAT's the offset on that Motegi? From what I've looked through none of their 18's would work well with the P5. How's yours working out?

That's just the price you pay for heavy cast wheels. hehe. My volks are as light as my stock wheels. The GT-C's are not that light however.

The 18,9 is 24 lbs. That's not bad, but not good either. It's forged however and therefore much stronger. Beautiful nonetheless. The one Volk I absolutely hate is the Kuwagata. Now that's an ugly flower like wheel. hehe.

We are a distributor for Volk so please do ask. We offer good pricing to club members. Should be able to offer a low price guarantee with verification of course.

PM me and Ill shoot you pricing. I would appreciate that you do all your price shopping ahead of time and contact when you're ready or need advice on fitment. I'd be more than happy to give you all the RAY's info you need. We have some new wheels coming out by RAY's also pretty soon here. I'll let you know in advance what fitment I can find and you'll love this wheel.

Hehe, Thanks I'm glad you like it.
As for the program it is Photoshop 7.

I am not sure what you are asking about the MP5 badge? You want the vavle cover? or the MP3 badge on the vavle cover?
You might be able to get the plastic vavle cover from a sport 20 in japan but you will need the metal vavle cover as well because it has bolt studs in it to attach the plastic piece to.

badges

really that sucks .. but i know i have see that emblem/badge that the MP3's have on the valve cover cover adn it says MP5 just like it .. anyone that can help let me know thanks
 
Re: my new wheels and tires

The problem you're running into is that your cast Motegi's weigh a lot! But that's the trade off for buying reletively inexpensive wheels. Forged volk racing's can weigh under 16 pounds a rim for 18s but they cost over $500 a piece.

last post

that is totaly true .. I mean honestly i oridginaly promised my wife that this car I would only do for looks and sound so speed is not really the major factor but I live in Knoxville Tn and there is only like 3-4 Mp5s and I had the fastest one until I got the rims and you all know what its like when you have mods that you remove you miss the sound or the speed ect .. so ill get used to it ... and also to clearify the statement above the only reason i promised my wife this is because i have my 4 month daughter that I would never jepodize so ... i will limit my mods as far as suspension and speed . but i will be more into the looks such as the CF hood wing sideskirts rear lower lip eyelids ect
 
Please tell me I am wrong and the bottle of dish soap in the picture was not used to clean the car, :( right?:confused:
