like iv been told before.... GET BETTER PICS!!! lol

marcs_sp20 · 16-04-2010, 10:29 PM

car washed and better photos taken

02-KQ-LASR · 16-04-2010, 10:32 PM

honestly, i think the size and stance are good. im just undecided on the wheel design..
what springs have you gotten in there now? sits pretty nice in the rear!!

marcs_sp20 · 16-04-2010, 10:41 PM

Apexi 35mm lowered springs in the front, pedders 35mm lowered springs in the rear, and no joke its a good 15mm higher then the apexi springs in the rear, but the ride is soo much better

Eh, seems to be a hit and miss with mazda wheels, but I reckon they look 100% better then the CX7's....

Rupewrecht · 16-04-2010, 11:35 PM

It's a hard one, as they both look good. The BL wheels look good, but i think the CX7s are better.

70NYD · 17-04-2010, 01:33 AM

i preffer these ones man

phildough · 17-04-2010, 06:55 AM

I prefer the 3 mps rims, the thinner spokes suit your car more.

Lachlan · 17-04-2010, 07:10 AM

I prefer those ones now ive seen them on the car. The cx7 rims were always a bit chunky for my liking but those ones look damn sexy!

bourbon · 17-04-2010, 08:07 AM

im stuck on the CX7s on yours marc, they suited the car a hell of a lot better only cause they werent so technical like these MPS ones...the MPS ones would suit a BJ with a full body kit and it would have to be some fancy over the top body kit...

and the other beauty of the CX7s was it was alot harder to tell you had small brakes

marcs_sp20 · 17-04-2010, 10:58 AM

they definitely look better in person, and not too worried about the brakes being too slow, they pull up good enough for me

mussing · 17-04-2010, 11:09 AM

Yeah gotta say I preferred the CX-7s. They looked good from every angle, but to me how good the MPS rims look depends on where you're looking from.

Clean_Cookie · 17-04-2010, 11:34 AM

i like thsee ones better...but yeah both quite nice!

project.r.racing · 17-04-2010, 07:16 PM

new rims look great.

rear end still looks a bit weird being lower than the front.

marcs_sp20 · 17-04-2010, 07:32 PM

Its level both ends, which is probably why it looks odd, eibachs would have the rear high in the sky

Tina · 22-04-2010, 08:29 AM

I like these rims better, looks good!

i 2nd that looks nice,still like the other set still!

marcs_sp20 · 17-05-2010, 02:05 PM

So, I purchased a Honda Accord front lip! Reason being they look good (abeit a bit of trimming & finnesing) and are a hell of a lot cheaper then buyiing a AutoExe or MazdaSpeed protege front lip

This is what it looks like on the car:

I did a trial fit this afternoon, and the corners need cutting on the inside, and you definitely need 4 hands to fit the damned thing!

so hoping to have it fitted tomorrow afternoon

Cheers
Marc

bourbon · 17-05-2010, 02:07 PM
