Both rims looks good. I've always liked the Meisters, although the black loses some of the detail.

Thanks for posting those pics omochi, I'm gettin some RPF1s, although they're gonna be 18X9.5 +45 front and 18X10 +38 rear. But I wanted to see what the +45s would look like on the front.

I like both sets, Meisters are always nice, and for some reason black center with a chrome lip works for me. Two hot FDs.

the wing is usually referred to as either the mazdaspeed type II or the racing beat type II (not sure if there was a relationship between the two companies, or racing beat just did a copy). In japan, it's off the mazdaspeed a-spec kit (and has been since about 95 or so).

yeah, me too.. hehe i didnt like how the 17x8.5" spokes stuck out... so i ordered the 17x9+45 (japan specific only?) through my friend since no one else wnated to bring 'em in!

i'm quite happy with the end result.. although imo, the pics do no justice to the wheels. in person, they're quite shiney for some reason

and i think these are the new fad wheels.. all the car mags i've flipped through - a lot of ppl have 'em now! .. but i guess LIGHT, strong, and cheap is always good

Those pics look very good

For some reason, an FD thats mildly dirty looks better cause you know its being used to its fullest. It makes the car look meaner in a way. Idk, hard to explain. lol

Nice pics

That's the exact same reason I wanted the +45s too, I didn't like the middle sticking out either. Did you get them through Rishie? That's who I'm going through. And the 10s in the back are special order from Japan too, and it's taking forever, haha. I thought Rishie said the +45s were from Japan too. I thought Rishie had said 9.5 was the only one with +45 offset, if I had known I would have gotten the 9s in front like you. I'm kinda worried about a rubbing issue when turning as of right now. I have seen alot of people in magazines with them too, that's why I bought those mags, haha. Glad you like them, I'm sure I will too.
