New Wheels for my Speed3

Postby movovr » Wed Jan 13, 2010 9:14

Most of you will recognize them. Eric's Tenzo Cusco V1. Let me know what you think. I think they look 10x better than my cx7 wheels. You might notice I also switched my mirror covers to black for something different. I have my stock red ones and I'm still a little on the fence right now.

Looks good. I like the mirrors in black on your car.

You in the shop on Friday? If so I'll cruise up so you can see in person.

They look great!
Are your headlight eyelids vinyl? I likes them too,

For the sideview mirrors, they look good, but I think I like them in red a little bit better, the black reduces visibility, and someone may take off your mirror if you don't fold it in when parking...

I like those wheels a lot on a red MS3. But yea, they do make the car look like a monster truck. It's strange because the wheel gap doesn't seem that bad with the stock wheels.

I love the wheels, but they don't look good on the MS3. They looked killer on Eric MS6 though. Maybe it's just the pictures, maybe it's just the wheel gap. Or maybe it's just me.

wheel gap isn't that bad. Mine is worse on stock wheels. the matching red stripe is a nice touch.

I definitely like it better in person than the pic. I have stock 215/45's on an 8" wheel so the tires fit but could stand to go up a size. I think dropping it will make it look even better.

Very nice! I like the look of the black mirror. But I agree that it needs to be lowered a bit to close that gap. Then you'll look mean :)

I saw it. What a monster!

I think some wider rubber will help make these look awesome.
