I'm going to be honest with you... that looks absolutely gorgeous

[chronus377]

Looks like a nice clean drop, and the rims are good as always. (thumb)

[wisniaPl]

can you still use tmps with these rims? Im considering buying evo6

[freebird_78]

Thanks for the pics. Mine is black too, and I was considering these same wheels and springs. Something about dark rims makes them look smaller than OEM. They look like you went down to 17"s for some reason. Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking your setup, I just think it's not for me. I'm gonna end up having to go with a lighter silver colored wheel, despite my desire for a darker wheel.

That stance is perfect!!! Good choice.

[MSP2024]

damn that looks hella good

[GoFast]

the drop looks good but i am not digging the rims...one day ill find an aftermarket set i like!

[edrive73]

Yes, the shop just took them out of the stock wheels and put them on the new ones.

[wisniaPl]

I think that they look smaller because the spokes don't extend to the edge of the rim. What you see the most when you look at the wheel are the spokes, and those probably are 17", or less. Wheels always look bigger when the spokes reach all the way to the lip.

The set-up does look nice tho, man!

[jalaan1]

[Chris Barnett]

[elieleb1303]

that looks awesome.
i love the rims.

[GhostMercury]

how is the ride with those springs, i REALLY like that drop. and how do the springs perform

[daonly1around]

get me those rims in gold on a white MS3

[SLC-MS3]

Did you put a rear camber kit on there also? I'm about 99% on the H&R springs and want to make sure if I need a camber kit I will order it all together.

[sentravq]

Just wondering whats the ground clearance on the front with the H&R springs want to add GV front lip, scared i would scrap the front GV lip

[RXMmazdaspeed]

wow love those wheels.

[xbox4414]

Evo 5's FTW!!!

Also I think you should paint the calipers black now....I like showing off big calipers but I think the red is too flashy.

[wisniaPl]

paint them blue as Idid.. they look nice but if you look very close is not very nice :P

[Yablargo]

Someone photoshop me the bronze ones on this pic pleeeez =P

Just killed a tire with 3k on the car and am gonna put the MS3's wheels on the xB and was looking at either variety of the Enkei Evo 5. I like the big 3/4/5 wide-spoke wheels.

[GhostMercury]

how is the ride with the springs and the stock shocks. is it really bouncy, and is it as smooth as the stock ride
