I never regrettted it! I still get compliments on the car!

Yeah I think silver is the most boring color for the P5, even white is more exciting. Bah. I need to stop thinking about selling my car for another P5

Seriously, this thread ended up with pics of laserblue P5's with steelies!
She's not laser, but she is blue! (first) 195/60R15 Hakka Q's. I'm pretty sure they will, but it will definitely be a tighter fit next winter after dropping her in spring (1.2").

I think we should all get spinner hubcaps! :)

But you cant put all 4 on. You have to only rock 1 on the front. (poke) (boom07)
 
well, yea we should all split a set! Honestly some of my freidns were trying to prank me likethat lastyear, but the ones they got didn't fit my steelies... Hell I'da rocked 'em...

And, umm Yakima actually Started here out of some dude's garage right by the trailhead where I mtnbike alot, but now they deny the tie. I DID however get the yakima rack discounts cause I used to be all up in the industry. Actually the rack that's on my car right now was in a yakima catalog about 8yrs back on top of my red civic si.

Andrea, your hood deflector looks different from mine...did you get it at a dealership?

If ever your tires would not fit you could always sell those and get a lower profile like 185/55/15

Mine (posted on previous page) are 195/65/15 and they don't rub so she shouldn't have a problem. I have a 1.5" drop. I don't know what the offset of my wheels are though since I bought them used.
 
Tossed on some Hankook Icebear 330's (I think) today. I like em so far, sorta pillowy feeling, but should do the trick. They're on my stock rims, I'll get gettin 17's in the spring.
 
I just couldn't bring myself to do that to my car even if it did snow here. I'd have to have some beater 4wd jeep or truck or subaru awd or audi awd if lottery paid off. The thought of all that mess & salt.....but hey there's snow, bust out the toys!
 
thinking of either the Alpin PA2 or the Blizzak LM-25. ne1 have any info on the LM-25? I decided against the WS-50 cause of bad treadwear and crappy performance in dry and wet

Ugh, don't remind me (it's the only shot I have right now of my baby on steelies). It's the ugly-a** Form Fit, cause-your-hood-to-rust, ill-fitting, crappy deflector that was on the car when I traded in my first P5 on it. (Long story short, original, brand new mid-blue *auto* P5 with tranny issues; traded it in on exactly the same car (a lease-back), but stick, with NO tranny issues.)

I had - and have on the car now, after getting the rust on the hood fixed - the Mazda deflector on my original P5, but didn't get them to swap it over onto the new one because I thought (wrongly) a deflector's a deflector. Boy was I wrong... should have had them swap the hoods, along with the other stuff.

You do that, and I will personally travel to Hull and decapitate you with said hubcaps! (boom07) It's bad enough you see spinners on the cavy's and fuckus's - I hope I never see one on a Pro/P5/MSP. I may have a heart-attack.
