Yeah those MS02's are bloody ugly Rare, but I think you can see why they're rare

Might make a good enough track wheel, though

I believe they are a pure magnesium wheel. I hated them at first, but they grown on you.

My only complaint is the 99 spec front bumper which is not aggressive enough for your car, rivets and the tail light cover, but that is why I molded my rear 1/4's in.

Thanks purerx7, you are right, that is HUGE coming from you.
Something about the look of the wheels still not right for me. I may look for different wheels (most likely 19").
I like the riveted look and the taillight cover.
I know the front is not agressive enough. I am looking for some front bumper, so far the choice is either FEED, or AB-Flug GTM (really hard to find).

i have 19's on my car right now and i just ordered some 18's, 19's look too big.. what u got to do is drop the car about a 1" 1/2 and run some 5-10 mm spacers all around and a thinner tire and get rid of the rear wiper. i think it would look sick.

19's look just right if they have a step lip or a huge lip as it gives the appearance that the face is actually smaller then it is. +1 on rear wiper, you would be surprised how much of a difference it makes - aesthetically speaking.

The vs-xx wheels are perfect for your car. Ab flug is actually pretty easy to find, but the front bumper is really aggressive, just too much going on with that front bumper. Complete the feed kit with the front bumper, then you will be rolling in style like betew, phil and I

that's the worst photoshop job in the history of photoshop.


Edit: Why do we need to know how many FC's you had in the past? I don't get people listing cars they've sold...

They've grown on me too. I actually start to like them, but all in all i dont think they fit the fd tho.. but the rims itself are kinda nice would fit my car atm.

If they are pure Mag that is another story. I wonder what they weigh?

I also was wondering if they would look good with either the center or the whole wheel in gunmetal or dark grey?

Did you have a problem with the powdercoat chipping off when the tires were mounted? Mine did (same wheels and color btw). They chipped pretty bad the first time, so I sent them back to the company to have them recoated, and one of them chipped again when mounting the tires. The guys at the coating place said there must be traces of magnesium in the wheel since the powdercoat isn't sticking well enough...I'm not sure how true that is but it sounds like BS to me.

Yes... I didn't push it to the park.

It's completely stock; factory shocks and springs.

Thank you, sir.

No, I'm not the original owner. I'm not sure how many owners (maybe 2 before me?), but the car has only 50k original miles. Very well taken care of.
