Who knew........ All we had to do was pour concrete into the wheel wells to lower our cars<LOL>
Here is a bit of trivia for you. Years ago one of the car magazines put a big heavy motor into the front of a rear wheel drive AMC Gremlin. When they started it up they couldn't get it to move. It was so front heavy, rear light, the rear tires would just spin. The end result was that to get it to move they filled the rear wheel wells with concrete. Never thought about it as a lowering process.......

GoodwinRacing's Brian got them from the UK for me. only took a few weeks. I got five of them in case I curb one. Call him and tell him you want the same wheels I got. He has pictures from me but did not set them up on his site.
This is interesting, as I saw just a car as you described last Saturday.. but it was stationary at a car show
Car looks good Joker!

what i need is your wheels. source plz.
GoodWin Racing Ask Brian for them: 15x7 Team Dynamics +40
I got five of them and took a few weeks from UK. You can fit the +30 (Spec Miata cars use +30 and +25 with or without a 25mm spacer for some stagger).
Forgot: eBay TPMS sensors for something like 100 shipped and they fit the Team Dynamics wheels in case you want to keep the OEM ones and dress them with winter tires. My steelies are getting the winter tires this month. Then, seasonal wheel swap without any fuss.

DO NOT LET TIRE INSTALLATION PLACE CHARGE YOU FOR CALIBRATING THE TPMS SENSORS AND DO NOT LET THEM TOUCH YOUR CAR WITHOUT A TORQUE WRENCH!!! The TPMS sensor nuts take only a few inch pounds and then they crack. I walked in with my own torque wrench but they had one and used it. They must have busted a few by now. Calibration on these Mazda cars is done without programmer just as easy as with one. Put new wheels on, key ON, wait a bit, key OFF, wait a bit, start the car and drive over 20 mph for a bit.
