Which rims

[mazda808]

Was thinking of selling my SSR and picking up a set of MS Touring wheels if they are avaliable

 

[toucci]

Ok you fixed it.

I like the first ones way more. The others look like they belong on a more curvaceous car than the P5.

nice now t!

I got to see if the Mazdaspeed MS Touring wheels are even still avalible. mazda.co.jp/mazdaspeed only listed the 15 and 16 inch wheels. I saw a Rays catalog that listed the 17 inch wheels for 35000 yen. I have a local shop checking for me. But do you think that the bronze will look OK with yellow?

hmmm volk mazda rims... idk, i dont care for them... sorry. too pricey and i think for the same price u can get nicer rims, just my opinion though.

bronze on yellow? id prefer silver or gunmetal w/polished lip... or maybe bronze with a polished lip

*off topic*

what happened to u at zippys man? we didnt mean to shaft u or make u feel uncomfortable or something, sorry bout that. we were surprised u left.

peace

ohhic ic making it this sunday to the bbq?

*sorry for the thread jack*

bump!

 

[mazda808]

Will try to make the bbq.

$350/rim thats not to bad. The SSRs I have now retail for about $625/rim w/o the SMC coating.

Oh and the MS Touring wheels only come in bronze. I suppose that I could have them powder coated black if I got them.

Corksport has them... The largest size is 17". =) I say go with 16; Lower unsprung weight!

 

[mazda808]

Corksport has it listed but I called them and they can't get it.

hmm....I like the first set better for style, but the chrome complements the P5 headlight's chrome housing better....(shrug)

 

[Sir Nuke]

Personally...I like the second ones better...over all a nicer looking wheel.

 

[akProtege5]

ms-touring for sure

 

[sgryzko]

I like the first ones better.

 

[Iconoclast]

both look good to me.

almost any color would stand out with the yellow

 

[mazda808]

Got the official word that the MS Touring wheels are no longer availible in 17". 15" and 16" are still availible by special order. However I think I found some pretty good alternatives. What do you think?

Versus Campionato SS6. These are availible in 17" or 18" by special order from Japan (2-3 months).

or

Piaa FR-S. 17" availible and ready to ship out of cali.

first ones in black

 

[mazda808]

I like those to but I think that 2-3 months will drive me insane. Worth waiting?
