No, you're paying for the name most of the time.
What have you done to your MSP today?
- Thread starter baconbitz
- Start date
... And the R&D, manufacturing process, and level of standards that comes with that name.

Most people that buy them could give a s*** about that...they just want to say they have volks, or works, or whatever.
Sure, I could see how some view it as a status symbol and that's fine but there are still a number of individuals like myself who buy legit parts because of the quality and innovation that comes with that product.

I look at it tihs way, no way am I going to pay $800 per wheel for BBS's wheels, especially on here in the crappy street in NE Ohio. I have my track wheels for the MSP, Enkei-RPF-1's........or my Kosei's.....as far as my other Mazda's, they have ASA's on them, we have a set of Mazdaspeed Wheels and I also have a set of Motegi's that have the UHP Summer tires on them for street driving on MSP, they were purchased used. To each his own, but I know that OZ Racng as had a major fail with their wheels cracking and braking a coule of years ago, saw them fail at Mazda Raceway on the Freedom Mazdaspeed 3...all of the spokes fractured and broke!
I saw this debate coming. Hope it would not.
I do alot of work with both Enkei and Work, at my business. We do see many different wheels come an go.
In my time I have learned, the truth is you do get what you pay for. This is true with all things.
Manufacturing and R&D cost money.
I think my next step for this car needs to be Noah's lateral link kit. If I could pull in the rear tires about 2mm my fitment would be perfect.

Haha yeah it never ends... Everyone has their reasons and justifications for this or that... Bottom line: Support legitimacy.
Pics or it didn't happen.
So my tune was all ****** up because the wideband sensor went bad on me. Figured something wasn't right when it told me I was full lean at 5000rpm and 20psi..... I replaced it and now I'm too rich across the board. Another thing to add to my weekend project list....
Oh and I rock the RH's on my car and I think they look amazing.

Had to pull an MSM transmission and disassemble it tonight, so I didn't install the SSAFC! I'll have it running this weekend!!!!!!! I'll get pictures for proof!!!
And I totally agree about the Racing Harts. Nothing looks better on an MSP than the RHs!
