So, after putting up with with the Turbines scrubbing at the rear (with anything more than my weight in the car) since i put them on, i borrowed a guard roller.
Just the rears needed doing. It's only an issue because ot the +28 offset on the 15x7s, and only on bigger bumps. They've been rolled probably from a factory 90° angle to about 10° - enough to stop the rubbing, but not enough to be too much of a dirt trap. Didn't crack the paint, either. That's where patient use of a heat gun comes in handy! Plus it future-proofs the car a bit more if i ever lower it further - which is doubtful, but possible. It's more because it's going to have more weight it in with baby crap soon!

new wheels.
Mooneyes Lucky Star in 15x7 +2 4x100. Going to need to chuck a 3mm spacer on the front as the inside of the calipers rubs on the back of the wheel.

Love these wheels! Really suit imo, maybe need a different front bar to really finish it off. Sure you have one lying around somewhere...

Sorry but I hate it.
It's like putting a Porsche kit on a bug or getting a combi and putting a Subaru engine and it's an original split window. It's just not right. Too me those wheel belong on something boxy and RWD. I just have hate for this it's FWD and put on RWD type rims to make it look wide and tough. It's a bit like, I go to Gym wear tight clothing take roids and walk around like a Criminal. Yet when the cops arrive or end up in the big house. I start crying before the soap is dropped. Just so Wrong. can't you put on some nice modern Jap rims |

There is a set of disc covers to go over them, but then they're just a bit tooo oldschool.

New lights. OEM CDM lights. Updates the rear nicely, i reckon - makes it a bit more modern.
Old VS new New wheels too, but haven't taken any pics yet (or of the set that cam after the Mooneyes wheels!

Man those are cool! Makes a noticeable difference to the rear end.
I've probably gone right past it, but what exhaust setup are you running?

Currently it's a Mazdaspeed Familia muffler, shortened to suit the AUDM bumper.
Thinking of putting the AutoExe that came in recently on to see what that's like. I do really like the MS one though.
