Pictars!

while i was taking pictures, i had a little visitor. he was just hovering around the area for a little while. i thought it was pretty badass.

... as he flew off into the sunset lol.

Those are great pictures----nice set up too.

 

[J_Naoto]

nice!!

 

[Hank3]

Nice pics and stance on the car. She looks clean. Not my favorite rims, but that's just an opinion of course

Are you gonna go with bigger tires once these wear down?

 

[bluelion]

not a huge fan of those rims....but they look good on your ride....

 

[mr_mazda329]

Hawt! ！(^o^ ) <3

 

[sumthaiguy]

thanks guys! yea i knew not everyone was going to like the rim choice. i liked them because of the size and that they were different. but hey everyone is entitled to their opinion. thanks for the feedback then! lol i might change tire size when they wear out. depends if i can find a way to go lower or not. if i can go lower then ill keep it or move to a different brand of tire. federals run big.

i love it man, looks aaaawesome. if i were to see the wheels by themselves, i'd never be into it.. but they definitely look good on the car. nicely done!

 

[strytnyne]

liked the enkeis a bit more but fitment is nice

+1! I never thought I'd like the look of a three-spoke wheel like that but the car looks great!

 

[sumthaiguy]

thanks guys! yea initially i was just gonna buy it to try the fitment out because the wheel didnt appeal to me as much. but the more i looked at them, the more they grew on me. lol i absolutely love them now. my goal with this setup was to be clean, subtle, and unique.

 

[LaCroix08]

do you rub?

 

[sumthaiguy]

not really. my right rear rubs the tiniest bit on big bumps.

 

[justinlansdale]

stance looks unreal....absolutely love it!

my favorite MS3 on the board.

 

[sumthaiguy]

thanks man! yea i love the stance as well. but i will love it even more when i go lower. plan is to buy shorter stiffer replacement springs for the coilovers. going at least an inch lower all around. should be some real hellaflush action going on soon tehehe =)

dang favorite ms3 on the board? really?! lol yaay someone likes my car! lmao
ive actually been getting some pretty unexpected outrageous comments. like on the wrongfitmentcrew.com some on said that it was the best looking ms3 they had ever seen. and a lot of people have been saying that initially they didnt like the wheels but them being on my car works great. lots of compliments but there are some people that dont think the wheels flow with the car. or they just dislike the choice in wheels.

to tell you the truth i expected more bashing than compliments. didnt know how people would react to the 3 spokeness. but im happy =)

 

[Omar MSP]

im not a fan of the wheels. to me, the wheels specify rwd.. its just me, they look good, im just saying.

 

[iheartmyhatchie]

DOPE fitment!
Square it out and go 18x9.5 all around

If you don't mind posting it up... Suspension set up? As well as roll/pull?

 

[BillTheCat]

I'm not a fan of the riveted look on wheels, but I seriously dig the overall design of those. VERY nice, and you just don't see anything like that every day. Even wth the rivets, I give it a thumbs up!

 

[ms6acton]

very nice!! love the stance, and the wheels i think would grow on me.

 

[Saskatchewan17]

I love the stance and the wheels... but I wouldn't go staggered on this car, nor would I stretch a 215 on a 9.5 inch wide wheel... nor would I buy Federal tires... Just sayin.
But if you're just going for looks, you've achieved it.
