Refinished Mazdaspeed MS01

Lips clear coated, spokes painted gold, inside of wheels re-sprayed, and even the original rays screws cleaned up like new! I'm even surprised they sprayed underneath the center caps.
The only thing they didn't do that i'm a little dissapointed about but can't be to fussy, is the lips weren't wet sanded.

I'm debating whether or not to order some new mazdaspeed stickers. Probly will.

Came to about $175 a wheel.

17x8, 17x9. 225/45R17, 245/40R17 Falken 452

Before and after of the wheels coming at ya!!













Not to stoked on the rears looking slightly stretched and fronts no stretch. Should have gone wider in the rear, oh well.

And can you say CAMBER? I have a camber bar on order now, the rears are ridiculously out. For suspension i'm running tein ss coils.

yeah you should get the mazdaspeed decal to signify the importance of these wheels.

your car would look great a lil lower, with a lip and a 5mm spacer or so on the rims.

I plan on getting stickers. There's alot of immitaters claiming to have the official mazdaspeed stickers. But i'm looking for authentic. Haven't found them yet.

As for spacers. Nah man i'm good. Fronts are perfectly flush, and rears maybe could use a spacer but not now.

It will be going lower for sure.... The car has been undergoing a build for 5 months now. Shineauto kit going on in spring or summer with obsidian black pearl paint.

How much camber do you have? It doesn't seem like too much to me.

Fronts are +35, rears are +34. Nothing gangster.

I'm trying to find the right stickers guys! Hold tight.

Not much camber? Hahha.... Not to sure exactly how much camber but enough to wear the tires. 2 of my tires at 80% tread almost have the inside edge fully worn down so yea thats enough.

Yea gold wheels definitely really set off a black car. They look even more amazing in person.
