Newbie with a SP20
Hi There,
I have recently purchased a black 2001 SP20 with 240,000 on the clock. Its been treated nicely and is in pretty good condition. Looking forward to my journey of mods and making some awesome mates that love their cars just as much as I do.  I have been following Ben's and Swift Jimmy's build's which were half the reason why i brought a SP20 Keen to get the mods started!! (So happy ive been converted from a Nissan Pulsar to a 323 SP20) ^.^ |

there is Josh (HUB32T) that's also his number plate... drives a light blue sp20... I'm sure you will see him around. then there is Pete (FamiliaGTX) with his turbo white sp20, and myself are you referring to the 2012 mazda 3 sp20? or do you mean the sp23 or sp25 rims? what size rims are you looking for btw? 16's, 17's or 18's ??

17's is the way to go if you don't want to sacrifice ride quality.

yeah theres no chance ide re-spray them.
and sweet as, thanks for the advice also, whats the best way of going about projector headlights? kinda lost on this topic. do you need to retro-fit or can you just buy them and install them? Cheers.

I looked at Sp23 rims myself and agree they would look sweet on your car! Hope you enjoy your stay! Cheers.
