Thanks, I have been too. I had bronze on my white miata for a long time as street wheels. Though for some reason I have owned way to many white wheels to keep anyone sane cleaning them on most my cars.

Tires won't be here till tomorrow, if they get dropped off early enough I will get them to the shop to get mounted and test fitted that night.

First off. I need a tire trailer in the near future. I can fit 3 of these in the front and one in the trunk to the side and still have enough room for a jack, tools, and clothes bag but long term its going to get mighty old.

Welp, here they are mounted. I drove around town a bit on them last night and they defiantly do what they are meant to, grip.

Front and side views

Next up will be Stranos front sway, endlinks, and a battery.

^ Nice!

How much of an effort was it fitting the tires in the back seat?

Hachi86Roku · 10-04-2013, 01:37 PM

You finally installed the wheels

what size tires are those? 255's or 245's?

Looks awesome, seeing your car makes me not regret rocking the same wheel/color combo

255's! They were back ordered for a few weeks so I was waiting for 3 weeks.

^agreed, before I owned the frs I really liked the whole stance thing.etc but after owning the frs and actually driving it, it is such a shame to do that to a car that drives this well, might as well do the total opposite and make a functional build that makes me smile like a 5 yr old everytime I drive it

Not as bad as you would think. If can take the first 3 and stand them up on the back one at a time, its a bit tight on the sides but I bought some Tire Rack bags so they don't mess up the interior next time. The last one I put on the trunk off to the side. Still have room for a jack, tool bag, and overnight bag for trips. I put a set of 225/17's in there this weekend and they fit MUCH easier.

I need more pictures of your wheels! Looks good man. Would you say the pictures do them justice or are they brighter in person?

I will get some more pictures at the event this weekend. They are a matte bronze Finish but they glow in the sun really well. I think that the color matches the white car amazingly.

I am torn between these and the gunmetal ones oakos has.

Specific reason you went with the +35 instead of the +45's?

Please let us know if you have any issues with rubbing during hard cornering.

Thanks and have fun!!

Wider is always better. I think everyone would prefer the +35s but they are harder to find.

I have +38 17x9s and they fit perfect with the 245s. No rubbing when they were on stock suspension and no rubbing lowered on coilovers.
