Not until i get tires on em >.> might have to roll the front fenders a bit, might

I wonder if i can run 235's or ust 225's all around...
It'd have to be 225/40 zr17's though at the least, or with luck a 235/40

I have nooo idea, tires are not my area of expertise. Come to think of it, I don't have an area of expertise. Anyway, do you know how much they weigh?

The stock wheels are alloy too, but they still weigh around 30 a piece. I dunno what Mazda was thinking... "Hey let's make a fast, lightweight sports car... and we'll give it lead shoes."

Well, look at the total area of the wheels...its massive, then look at any new wheel, all teh nice spokes. less material is lighter.

Oh alright, we were on our way back when we passed you. Too bad we didn't stay at Deals for another 10 minutes, we woulda run into you. I wanted to bring my TII up but once again, no gas and no money.

Haha, well that's good to hear. It would be a mistake to hack up the body before putting it in the trunk and taking it to the dump site, I'm glad you're thinking ahead.

I can create a flyer or like I said before I can make some little stickers that wouldn't ruin paint or window, with a link or phone number on it, I think something a little more appealing would really draw in and brew curiosity, don'tcha think, Liz?
What do the rest of you think?
Let me know....
I got da hook-ups!

Sure, I'll see what I come across, mybe by next meet, Along with da shirts! I was thinking of maybe 50-60 stickers/mags/or cling-ons.
Input?
I'd like to all come to a consensus...
Mybe a vote?
Remember the sooner the better, cause let's just say if I got results tonight, I could design tomorrow, post it (so you all can view and critique), approve it and have them printed by this weekend.
That'll allow us to have a the whole week before the next meet to pass'em out.
