Firestone 245/40R17 Great tires but wish I went with 255/40R17 for more accurate speedo and aesthetic purposes.

Nice. Volk offered a glittery gunmetal as a color option if you special ordered them and paid a fee. Regret selling these, but they’re wide fender FC fitment and wouldn’t work on my current car unless I got something really wide like TCP Magic

Thanks, that's the look I was hoping to go for. For the most part no rubbing but I did hear it scrub once when I hit a bump at high speed

Love the Regamasters... wish the current version didn't have a full paragraph written on the wheel through.

They're vinyls, you can just opt not to use them if that's the way you want to go

I purchased a different kit that just says Regamaster Superforged and avoided the giant "Evo II" and "Desmond" ones.

Are your fenders rolled? Any rubbing? I'm thinking about getting Regamasters in this same spec.

Resurrecting this from the semi dead here.

The dilemma: 18"s look soooo much better but run the risk or rubbing, scrubbing, and decreased ride quality.

17"s still look undersized on the car but provide a visual improvement over OEM and won't risk the above issues.

Anyone have input on the matter, went with 18's and regretted it, or vice versa ?

Thinking of Sakebomb RZ wheels (17"s) or 18"s in something else (Fikse, BBS, Advan, etc..)

Photo of my car for the heck of it. The car is low mile (17k) and I have always been an OEM+ type
so leaning towards the Sakebomb wheels.

I like 18s, but 17s can look good as long as you have meaty tires.

im a big fan of Mazdaspeed wheels. Can’t wait to put these 18” Volk CV Pro Mazdaspeed edition on.





And also going to refinish these 17” MS-01 in in similar fashion to these Nismo rims, except with red Mazdaspeed logo.
