The Moderately Low (Not Slammed) and Functional Thread

[roy obanion]

Yeah, I hear ya on that. I know what you mean. But, one thing you should know about me is that I could give 2 s**** what anyone thinks about my car. As long as I like it, I'm happy. I agree with you, a lot of Miatas have them... one reason it's so hard to find them... but I would be using them for Auto-X and track events so a light weight, wider and smaller diameter wheel which has a variety of tire size options (especially in R-comps) is a win-win for me.

You embody this thread, thank you!

Word. I know they're definitely not the wheel for you guys. I think there was a pic of a red car with bronzes on it. I'll have to check. If I do get them, it won't be until I get back from China. And then, I have to make a choice... wheels or suspension.

suspension!!! i think the 5zigens will hold their own for a while til you get the dough for new wheels

^I'm with levi.

I'd agree. I can't stand body roll, and better suspension will give you more grip in the corners even with the same tires. Although you might have to turn the boost down.. But I know that won't happen.

I actually really like the way the fiveziggens look on the MSM, Phen. You should mos def get that JIC setup when you get back. Then you can actually post a pic of Lindsay in here!

I did turn the boost down. Down from 14 to 12. Haha. But why should I turn it down? My goal is to get rid of those old ass Paradas in the best way I know with that car.

Shhhhh!!! Thou shalt not speaketh of my suspension plans! Haha.

I didn't know it was a secret!

 

[THE Phen]

Well...not entirely a secret, just I haven't told anyone yet. Haha.

I love those wheels, they flow so well, nice choice you made with em!

 

[not yellow]

definitely on board with this thread! love the look of slammed cars and form>function stuff but function comes first for me. especially considering i've started taking my car to the track. i'm lowered on H&R coilovers and currently running two wheel/tire setups.

Nothing best than run on a track

yup, i'm totally hooked! it's ridiculously fun. headed down to laguna seca on the 27th.
i'm happy with the suspension setup, coilovers and 32mm rear sway. but still working with the wheel/tire setup. gonna run the halos with bridgestone potenza re-o1r in 225/45 this time. if sticky 225s seem like enough tire i might end up putting some on the old MX-5s since they only weigh 17lbs.

 

[magnumP5]

Wheel/tire specs on MX-5?
