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.

Cool but too old school for the BJ IMO

What have you got in a 6 x 139.7?

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

Probably an Etude front bar and some SP20 skirts/lip.

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.
