OMG... beautiful. The CCW classics look great on the black FD... I love the look. I think I made up my mind about my next wheels :) What sizes/tires are you running? 18x10 +50? 285/30/18 tire?

ET20 is the most aggressive offset in the 9's, I could fit 10's to the rear (as you rightly point out, they have more offset), but they would not have fit on the front. The recommendations I received from Panspeed with respect to wheels was to maintain the same widths/tyre profiles front to back and that I would not get away with 10's on the front with their arches and skirts.

Same wheel but 10 inch wide so a little more concave, and matte black.

Skip2mypoo, how many miles do you plan to get out of those tires? I like the lip on your setup, but not the excessive camber needed to run it :lol:

Cheers man, not taken by me unfortunately (wish I was that good with my camera). Here are some more pics of the wheels on my car albeit, not as clean as I would like, but then I was driving the car :)

I believe it's a Mazdaspeed STYLE, but based on the quality of the fiberglass, I would say "No", it is not an actual Mazdaspeed. It came with the car when I bought it about ~2 years ago.

Correct. The hood did have to be modified however, because previously, it sloped downwards, and it would hit the valve cover of the 2JZ. See pics below

So, My car's finally back on the road, so a friend and I went for a little trundle today and took some photos. Light was rubbish, but fundamentally, so are my skills with a camera.

His car is lovely, I'd forgotten how pretty they are as standard. :smitten:

Mine's the white one, his the black.
