I was up in Dayton today and a older guy (younger than me) pulled up next to me at a light and was staring at my wheels. I looked over and he smiled and gave a thumbs up. Made my day.
PM azuelke over at mazdas247, he custom makes them to your specs. I am using mine for reference then I will probably purchase the ones with built in studs from another source if they fit. His are hubcentric, they fit snug, unlike a lot of generic ones. It's just hard to find them in that size to use.

BFW make a nice mount point for a GoPro.

Washed the car AGAIN today. Yellow pollen polluted my wax job. Love Spring/Hate Spring. I might try to go out tomorrow after work and go downtown for some pics if it isn't raining too hard. Wet pavement looks great if you can get the right setting.

You know, not sure it was your intended effect... but that bfw does look a lot like cat ears. The rear of your car looks like a cats face now, lolz

Anyone interested in picking up a KINETIC for xbox360? It has never been used and the original game is still in the wrapper. I can let it go for $80. I know they retail for $150 new.

Some new pix from tonight. Top of a parking garage off Reed-Hartman. It was getting around sunset since I got a late start (work gets in the way sometimes). Didn't make it downtown, so that's still on the agenda.

Thanks. These were quick edits in Lightroom 4. I'm going to import a couple into PChop and take out the trees and crap, especially on the 1st pic.

I need a car wrangler to position the car better. Hard to do that from inside the car and getting the angles right.

I was the only car on the upper deck. I figured security would stop by but never did. They have a lower garage as well that might work with flash. I'd probably get permission from the building management before I try that.

Thanks. It was a good choice in rims. They'll look better with 245/40 on them. I have the room so maybe even a little more? Too big will weigh too much.

Y'all will love this. On Sat or Sun, the guy who was going to come relieve me reported he had lost his passport. As of this afternoon, he has a new passport and is working on getting his US visa. Supposedly he will be ready to join as of 04 April. I smell a rat, think he wanted some time home and since he doesn't know me or what the office had in mind, it was easier for him to make up a lie. I told the Capt he'll know for sure as soon as he looks in the guy's passport. We'll be in port on the 5th so let's see if he makes it.

Hey, get back home before the weather turns cold!

I couldn't agree more. I finally got the fender roller yesterday so I can now officially join the club. I don't have to ship it off till Monday so my offer still stands if anyone wants to use it this weekend.

Wow - everybody's rims are looking so fine! I need to get some springs so I am not accused of being ready to go 4x4ing.... Great pics folks, keep 'em coming! And yes, my stupid tail light needs to be resealed, possibly due to finding my soul mate though we won't tell him that but hey, you can't go wrong with a Mazda guy right, lol. I hadn't noticed the cat-like look given from my wing but I am seeing it now and digging it - me-ouch! Great seeing some 8's at bum spot Tuesday - turned into a nice Mazda meet.

Its on my To Do list Fuz, I gotta get the rest of my MS kit installed and painted in the next few weeks and replace my head unit (no power to the radio or LCD.) I might try to make it out to Fuel this Saturday if the weather/school permits.

Chief I worked as a MM in-between Active Duty and deciding to go to school so I have felt your pain in that situation. Hope it works out for ya.

I'll probably be at Fuel Saturday. Maybe shoot some more pix afterwards if the weather holds out.
