Is this for sets you have had but sold and moved on, or sets you have and use whenever you want?

Rims I had and sold

[Default User]

I'll play. Keep in mind this is all within the past year and a half that I've owned the car

Winter mode - nothing exciting there. Not even pic worthy when they were on the car

16" steelies wrapped in Pirelli Winter carvers


Sold last years' setup
REV GOLD Version 2
18x7.5 wrapped in Goodyear F1


Becoming a diva now.

Transition mode (rocking these between March to May and again Sept through November)
OEM 17" GT rims w/ all-seasons


Summer option 1
OEM Lancer GTS rims 18x7.5 (the OEM center caps fit right in place)


Summer option 2
5Zigen Pro Racer Super 6 18x7.5 (weighing in at 17.5lbs)



Still can't decide if I'm gonna powder coat the summers or not. They will be wrapped in Dunlop Sports

[froggy]

if the offset of the mitsu rims makes them fit flush they will look really wicked. otherwise I'd go with the 5zigen

I believe they're +42 or something. I honestly can't remember. I've been researching so many different rims, I went cross eyed

18" RX-8's (2008 - 2009)

[Kevin@nextmod]

Does it have to be a mazda and does it have to be the same car? Cuz i've been through 10 sets in the past 5 years of 3 cars. Just asking =)
