[Wagonbacker9]

could be worse? idk... I'd never do that to MY car, but I don't hate it...

[Outlawstar98]

I think it looks good, But it says tiresize is 225/30/20r

to small for me LOL I would want bigger sidewalls

[Wagonbacker9]

30 profile isn't that bad... on a 20 thats already musta rolled the shit outa the rear fenders to get that much tire under there.... its actually only 2.8% bigger than stock (rolling distance)...


215/35s would be 5.3% larger in circumference... which would still be tolerable...

[Outlawstar98]

IT says he grind'd the Hubs 5 MM also

[Wagonbacker9]

*COUGH*.... ummmmm.... you gotta be some kinda stupid to go doin that... I'm sorry but... wow..

[kamon8404]

Looks good

[dominoy2k1]

hot. i like it.

[Akaveli]

I'm confused.....

[Outlawstar98]

How are you confused?

[bgibb68]

looks good....but i'ld be damned to try and drive around anywhere on rubber bands....


those rims/ tires wouldn't last a day here in texas

[J_Naoto]

i kinda like it...

[MSPLIFE]

man this looks badass but i would do it on 18s with 225 40 18 and 1" drop.
But the lip is a killer on the yellow msp.

[kamon8404]

looks good....but i'ld be damned to try and drive around anywhere on rubber bands....

+1 driving around with 16s suck here.

[pavone]

i dont hate it...but i just dont like it... not my style i guess. to each there own.

[JCell]

i thought my18's were too big

still, ive seen msps riding on chrome 20's, now thats bad

[SwirlFX]

Hell Nah!

[Ricktalife]

LOL @ the yellow sidewalls.

[dandan2]

i think it looks good but that car must bo slow as shit with those rims on there!

[twistiert]

i like it looks alittle to big for the rear but the front looks good

[ScratchNSniff]

Looks good...big baller status...

[jred321]

those are some tiny brakes

[StealthWyvern]

Thats exactly what I want to do to my MSP but with 17s!

[Rush]

That looks absolutely retarded.

I had 18's on my MSP, and I thought that was pushing it. 20's are just moronic. Wheels that big do NOT belong on a Protege in any way, shape or form. They look incredibly awkward and are flat-out TOO big.

Not to mention the fact that I bet having those wheels on has probably LIFTED the car, relatively speaking.

Stupid.

[boostdprotegelx]

that's hardcore.. not my cup of tea, as in i would never do it. but i do like the color, and the lip.. very nice. something different.

[kamon8404]

the brake rotors look tiny!

[MSpeedFreak03]

WOW OMFG you have got to be kidding me way to dam big im not into the whole big ballar stats shit its stupid a waste of metal!

[StealthWyvern]

WOW OMFG you have got to be kidding me way to dam big im not into the whole big ballar stats shit its stupid a waste of metal!

eh to each his own. I presonally dig the wheels just not the size. The people who are into dubs and what not have the same mind set as you when its towards imports.

[fishdonotbounce]

Does he have his ENTIRE WINDSHIELD TINTED? wtf?

[Omar MSP]

in a smaller size, it'd look better

[Boosted03MSP]

I can tell he is riding on TEIN S-TECHS LOL Look at that horrible stance

[theEZV]

that and the tein sticker lol. i kinda like it, nice to see something different

[boostdprotegelx]

WOW OMFG you have got to be kidding me way to dam big im not into the whole big ballar stats shit its stupid a waste of metal!

LOL. coming from the guy claiming a nissan sentra spec v would toast a msp.. rofl... you're just pissy in the pants about your car issues.

[Maxx Mazda]

The tinted windshield is bad ass!

[Wagonbacker9]

The tinted windshield is bad ass!
I've heard thats legal in AZ or some such.... obviously being like 1800 miles from there i have no idea...

[StealthWyvern]

I've heard thats legal in AZ or some such.... obviously being like 1800 miles from there i have no idea...

Legal I doubt that. I do know with a doc note that it can be but I'm not 100% sure on that.

[kudakev615]

atleast its nicely done. i agree dubs are too big on the protege but its obvious this guy likes big wheels. the wheels are custom painted to match the car so he spent alotta time and cash. im sure it wasnt easy to get these to fit. and its not like they are some gawdy, made in china, chrome wheels. tho its not your cup of tea atleast respect him for doing something different and the effort spent in time and money(hi)

[BadBandar]

Not my taste but it looks okay if u look at it from far away. And as for the tinted windshield. Its possible but u need connections.

[Ricktalife]

off topic, but i love your p5!

[fremast]

I gotta give him one thing: it is definitely different and well finished.

I personally think its waaaaaay overboard, but an A for effort.

[Maxx Mazda]

Too bad he couldn't match the color better...

[11B-33T]

It would be even cooler if Huggy-Bear was steppin' out of it..(bling)

[haze20]

The rims are painted they could be the usual 45lbs 20inch chrome rims. I don't like it personally. Don't like black rims or rims with a lip on the MSP. We can't run a low enough offset to get the right effect in my opinion.

[sailinMSP]

its pretty clean and well done, but i think they should have done it with 18's and a big brake kit to make it proportionate. I personally wouldn't roll 20's because i like the agility of my msp.

i will give him an A for effort, at least its not chrome 20's

[justinlansdale]

......ew.

[blkspdfreak]

props for doing something different with the msp. biggest ive seen is the spicey with 19's. i think 18's slamed looks the best and the ride shouldnt be that bad either depending on the tire size. it could be alot worse.

[MrDiggler]

Stupid.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who feels that way. Nice car, and decent wheels, but wheels that big on a car with our dimensions really looks like ass.

[ND4MSP]

All it needs is one of those diamoniqe crusted 20" badges. those wheels in 17's dumped why not, but 20's are nasty. I will feel bad for that person if they ever register here.

FIBJAM rating : 6.5

[special--k]

im not a fan... it looks... off
to say the least.

[TampaBlackMSP]

Perfectly stated - agree 100% Bleck!

[Donas64]

I think 18 inchers would be the limit for me on a protege.

[jeanspeed]

why would u do that. that guy has to get b**** slap~~~~~

[o0n8]

sadley I've seen worse, a kid had a caviler sedan lifted so he could put 22's on it. Dumbest thing i've ever seen.

[Wagonbacker9]

value of wheels > value of car.... lol

[Outlawstar98]

Though some D'ss on it!

[kicknmazdaspd]

There is guy around where I live rollin on 22's in a P5. I swear to you.

[Outlawstar98]

pics or gtfo haha

[kicknmazdaspd]

next time I see I'll try to snap a pic

[Wagonbacker9]

we need to find this guy... I don't think a single pic of an MSP has ever sparked a thread this long.

[ajkulish]

that is so terrible. thats fugly. who would do that. thats just probably the worst looking thing you can do to a protege

[fremast]

It's not my thing either, but worst?
I can think of plenty of things that would be worse...
I'll spare you the horrors of my imagination but I just sent shivers down my own spine with nightmare visions of poorly treated proteges.

[red95_240sx]

got damn car domain. it looks great tho.

[Outlawstar98]

got damn car domain. it looks great tho.

HEY! im on cardomain Lol, im the #1 MSP and Mazda.... Cause I work the system haahha.

[bubba019]

why would somebody do this?????? why??????? no taste at all. looks like they bought those rims at pep boys or something. makes me wanna cry

[aaragona]

[dstmsp03]

22K CN is still like 18K usd.. thats worse than that dousche bag in KY

[rally2003]

22K CN is still like 18K usd.. thats worse than that dousche bag in KY

LOL, I mean wow. Most I'd pay would be around 12K. The underside of the car can't look that great unless it is garaged 10 out the 12 months. :)

[Wagonbacker9]

waxed every other day? seriously, either he's crazy, or full of it! and there was a guy selling an MSP with like 8K miles on it (don't remember the mods on it) and he wasn't even asking anywhere near that.

[rally2003]

I'm going to say he full of it.

[PrettyLilThing]

I like them but to each their own....

[Alamo1]

*cough*.... Ummmmm.... You gotta be some kinda stupid to go doin that... I'm sorry but... Wow..

lol!
