Very nice, Mike. But I notice your lowering springs (Eibach's as I recall) seem to have settled a bit too much in the rear. Or, is that just the pic?

BTW, you need to change your avatar now too. :D

there is no rubbing

the springs have settled more as time has gone by
and the back does appear lower than the front

they ride great/ no problems

I can't take the credit on picking the wheel
I saw pics of these rims on mdw3333 and Mrs. showoff car and that helped me make a choice

Did you custom paint the calipers or upgrade them to a set that was red?

They are 8" wide with a +40 offset. They ride great on mine.

Hey Mike, try the original Mazda center caps in those. They snapped right in mine.

I don't think Mike would take your opinion the wrong way, everybody has different tastes. Those rims look good IMO.

I kinda like them, but if I'm gonna get any rim to replace the gorgeously simple stock 18's, I'd get some real lightweight 18 or 19's. That's just me.
