What wheels for my car?
 
so as most of you know im in need of new wheels. Either 18" or 17", probably leaning more toward 17's though. Trouble is I don't know whats gonna fit and what's not gonna fit. the car is lowered on bc coils, it is pretty low and i did want to keep it that way. atm I have BK MPS wheels and I was after something that doesn't look so OEM. but i dont want them to hang that far out of the guards, if anything underneath with a bit of camber. (like Josh's car).
I have a budget of about $1200 for wheels and tyres. I thought about getting some 17x8.25 +35 xxr 530 in chromium black, anyone else recommend something else for me?

heres my car:

sikwitit 25-03-2013 08:20 PM

sim08u 25-03-2013 08:40 PM

+1 for the Weds

Rupe has a few sets. They're the latest design of 5 spoke mso1r mazdaspeed wheel.
They'd give a sporty edge to the car, unique and will get noticed. If i had a dollar for every mazda nut that notices my s***box only for the rims...well i could probably afford some new stickers for 'em.

Rupe?

The Weds came first.

MS-01S are the forged one-piece 5-spoke.

hmmm they look nice rupe, just not sure about the colour... also i think that 'drift' look is what i'm going for... or something to 'stance' out the car a lil more. I think i might just go with these:

I like them, i don't know of anyone else who has them and there pretty cheap. Also rupe how much is that set u have?

Rupewrecht 27-03-2013 10:34 PM

As low as $1200 if you feel like rattlecanning them.

Clean_Cookie 27-03-2013 11:03 PM

Please don't let him use a rattle can! Powdercoating is $400.

To be honest, i personally think you have one of the nicest astina of that shape, looks sleek and the wheels that are on suit's it excellent, personally wouldnt change them.

sim08u 28-03-2013 06:02 PM

ohh thanks man. just after a different look now. looks to oem for my liking, if that makes sense.
