i had the lights blacked out but because i used a cheap ****ty clear they turned milky ... stay tuned for the re-tint with GOOD clearcoat and ima drop it down about 2 inches pretty much so it takes most of the gap out between the rim and gaurd stay tuned for that also

peel off the mazda logo on the middle or scrape it off or whatever and on ebay there should be centrecap stickers available which you can stick on, I got ralliart ones :P
Looking very nice man, those rims look MAD on the TR, when that's dumped you will be one very happy man!

Very nice champ. Have any shots loom down the length of the car? to show how flush they are with the gaurd edges? They do look very P.I.M.P
On another note. A good friend of mine put very low offset (with rolled gaurd) M5 Wheels on his VL of all things. Very clean car, freshly painted and redone interior and all. His old man brought it new. Anyways, the wheels were something like 18x9 +20 and obviously had the BMW caps in them. He popped them out and had a shop laser etch his some holden Lion emblem ones(you know from the badge) in some alloy that were then machined to fit in the rim. Looked Pro. Cost was 40 bucks for materials and time since they had a pic pre loaded in the CNC machine.

Guessing this is an exec? Always thought the TS's had the color coded mirror shell's on them, new to me. But if you look closely 92gen2 he does have the TS rear garnish.
Do you have the raised centre console with the lid in it mate?

Caine at Mitsi Clearance had centre-caps a couple of months back, I bought a couple sets (possibly with the wheel nuts tho). Not available sorry, we have them earmarked for a couple of projects.

Nice Very Nice!
Glad they fit. Who machines the center and how much?
What tire size are you running.
Unless i missed something what springs did you use and how about a pic?
Clean 2nd gens look great....looks like a good buy even with the price off the mods included great stuff.

hey there, i thinks it was me who asked for the side shot. Looks tight as.
the look of these cars changes so much with just a set of wheels and some lowering. NO other body mods and it changes ones whole perspective on the cars age/looks and style. I was outside walking past my rada yesterday after fitting the rear vented setup from a ts elite and looked up, saw my car and was like, damn thats good hahah, my paint work is ****house but still haha love it.

That looks sweet mate!!!!!
I can see why you aren't happy with it though, it sits exactly the same as mine! Needs like half an inch lower at the front and it would be perfect but there is f all travel up the front in the 2nd gens once you lower them you would have no shocky left!

17-05-2009, 10:19 AM
haha thanks again all , pete your spot on its the front im unhappy with but then again they should settle a little further and im yet to do the bushes so we will see what theat gets me but if noting else than il take tuffy's suggestion and put superlows in the front. i bet if a rx8 owner saw em on my car he would spew knowing they look better on my car than his haha

One great thing about factory wheels is if you bust one you can always get a replacement! Man looks good lowered.
For looks the back is fine but maybe a bit more in the front.
I live in the hills and crap roads but i reckon that setup would be fine for me...
The offset is sweet!

i didnt think about the easy replacement factor but now that i do its pretty sweeeeeeeet and the whole car will come down more once i drive it for a bit and then even more when i back off the bushes (replace some if needed) to settle them in to thier new posistions
