Thanks, they were fun to refinish. Those caps are really hard to find, pretty much unobtanium these days.

I painted the "Mazda" logo in the center by spraying the whole cap silver, then filling the recessed logo with some wet corn starch.

The I spayed the caps black and washed out the corn starch to show the silver logo.

Yes, the lips on the wheels were actually polished before I refinished them.

It's a nice look and easy to do, especially when the paint on the lips wears out before the paint on the center mesh part, which it tends to do.

But I'm a bit of a purist and it turns out they came painted when new, so that's how I did it.

Those gold Exip Kuwe wheels look pretty cool, I've never seen them before, got that LE wheel look.

Test fitting my SSR Longchamps. 14 x 7 ET0. 185/60 Nankang NS2R tyres. Needs a slight arch roll and pull which is no problem. Going to be putting +11 offset on the front. Will post up more when they're all on and complete haha

Hahahahah! It's a temporary thing. Exhaust needs some slight modifications to make it fit properly and tuck it up a bit more. The chain is pretty tight and doesn't actually make much noise at all really. Plus its the only muffler on a near 400RWHP 13bt with an external wastegate and screamer pipe . It sits a slight bit lower when on the ground also

Still tryna get my hands on an arch roller ha.
