Currently the car looks like this:

This is where my old advans went:

polished is too much IMO.. they look like SUV wheels. Have the faces color matched in CWP w/ a polished lip FTW !!!! (cool) cant wait to see those tires on there too

i like your old rims better

buh-bye fenders! Love the wheels, but its gonna make the car look like a skateboard without some serious fender work. Your fenders will be sitting in the hatch after a few bumps in the road! yikes!

camber saves fenders and im luvin the polished faces(hi)

 

[strytnyne]

looks good i like em alot better then the advans

your old advans look great on that si. not sure how your new wheels are gonna look complete, seem a little wide for my taste. but i thought that about your advans too, and i thought they looked pretty good on your ms3 once all four were on. looking forward to seeing the finished product. how much do they weigh??

 

[sumthaiguy]

thanks for all of the compliments guy!

strick - lol im very picky about my wheels and im not a big fan of color matched and black w/ polished wheels just to say the least. i like a little contrast. and ive always loved polished wheels on white cars. iono its just something classy about it.

MM Boost - haha yea hopefully it wont turn out like that. i might have to pull it a little more. but nothing too hardcore in terms of fender work.

strytnyne - yea when i first saw them i was like DAMN do want. and i felt it was a good replacement for the advans. fitment is pretty good too.

Jon MS3 - haha yea thats how i felt when i frist bought the advans, didnt know how it was going to look on the car. just went with the image in my head. same goes for this wheel. just gotta hope for the best and that it looks decent lol.

Why are you going with 18X10 for the fronts?

Unless he's putting the 18x10s in the rear which would then be even more retarded.

 

[sumthaiguy]

lol if putting the 18x10 in the front AND rear is retarded, where do i put them? XD.

18x10's are going on the rear. these arent racecar wheels. these are for looks only and i think the reverse stagger look is wierd.

 

[justanothermp5]

lol for real, i was like "am i missing something"

wider wheels normally go in the back, who cares about funtion

 

[sumthaiguy]

haha yea i had to scroll back up and reread it. i was like huh? but yup lol ill be building another car in the future for function. some badass sideways function!!!

 

[strytnyne]

staggerd fitment is ftw =]

 

[madvillian]

Keep those rims you have on it in the top few pictures on, those are tits! I do like the new ones though

Really? Wider wheels go on the drive wheels, since this car isn't RWD why would you put them back there? Why not just go 18x9 all the way around. Anyone who knows anything about cars in general is going to laugh when they see a FWD Mazda with 275s on the back and 255s in the front.

listen to mr 12 post here...lol. He doesnt track the car, so whats the big deal. Its all about the look, and thats what he likes. Its a personal choice. Get out of that 90s mentality and progress with the times.(stooges)

also.....your guesses at tire size are way off
