Hello everyone,

You guys seems to be missing some MS-01 multimedia material lol
This is why I decided to share some pics of my car with those great wheels on. Please excuse me to post so many photos, there's so many to show I cant decide wich

So here's my car 1 year ago (without molded bodykit and some extras...) with the original Mazdaspeed MS-01 wheels on.









And here's my car in 2008, last summer, with brand new pearl white paint, molded bodykit and gun-metal painted MS-01 wheels.







Night Shot


Rolling Shot


By the way these wheels are incredible. They are forged (seriously these are invincible), 2 pieces, large and sexy
Just for the record, many probably already knows that, they are made by Rays Engineering wich also make the Volk Racing wheels.

Finally, these exact wheels will be for sale this next summer. I will be posting all details here in the appropriate section when time comes.
But if someone shows interest for them sooner I will be more than happy to provide more info.

That's a nice transformation. Even though I think wingless FD's are ugly.

But I was wondering.... Why hasn't anyone ever put the Effini badge on the lower part of that bumper.. seems like the perfect place

Hehe it would be a good Idea. But I like my car badgeless, stickerless etc. I personnaly asked when we did the paint job to have my car *shaved everything*. Now all badges and stickers are gone, along with the antenna and rear wiper.

That is a very special personnal taste tho, it doesnt suit for everyone :P

This bumper btw, is a Chargespeed front lip molded to the oem bumper with enlarged turn lamp hole to fit 99' spec turn lights in

Back to topic, those wheels are awesome! They are very rare in North America but they seems more common in Japan tho. My car is right hand drive and was imported from japan. I've seen at least 3-4 other FD / FC imported from japan here in Quebec with those wheels on em..

The official Knightsports were about 2500 with HIDs. But there's some replica here and there on the web for around 900 bucks.

Mine came with the car when imported here!! Lucky me

So where were you guys with these pictures at like 5 years ago when I started this thread? (07-29-04, 09:45 PM)
Now that we have pics I might just have to buy another fd to put these wheels on.

Niiice FD with MS-01s !!!!! wow your rear lip is way deeper than mine! What is the width of your rear wheels?

Mines are 9.5 inches wich half the lip you have, yours must be huge?

Hey and, I see that you don't have the center-caps on your wheels. Did you remove em on purpose? Cause if so, I'd buy one! Im missing 1 center-cap and been looking for one for a while now..

Thanks!

Cheers dude
I didn't get any centre caps I'm afraid The wheels were a bit of a bargain and it was one of the reasons why!
They are 10jet45's on the rear, 8j et38's on the front, running 225/45/17 RE070's all round.
In most of the pictures they are straight fit, but the last one is running a 25mm bolt on on the rear, I've got a 15mm slip on to go on the front but I haven't got round to replacing the studs and rolling the rear lip, so I'm running without at the mo

Cheers man
Plans are mostly stock body, she's now fully polybushed, I'm just pushing the limits of the twins really, trying to make my ultimate fast road car

I've only stretched the rear tyres as the fronts are only 8's, so i can't get a reasonable width tyre on them with a stretch, it'd have to be like a 195! The 225's were also very cheap so i just stuck them on as a temporary measure, I'm going to run a 235 of 245 888 on the rear.

These are just going to be track rims. I've got some 8.5/9.5 Panasport G7's which I'm going to get some new lips made up for to run a 9.5/11ish fitment
That's the plan, anyways.

Ideally I'd like another pair of MS01 9's to run on the front though.
