Finally...wheels and tires (now w/ pictures)

After sitting in various places around the homestead for almost a month, it looks like I'll finally be able to get my new wheels and tires on the car! :D

I think I chose well. Opinions?

Wheels are 15x7 Motegi Traklite 2.0 in a colour I've only seen on eBay (and cheaper than Tire Rack, too). Offset is 35mm. I'm sure most will recognize the 'kooks.

Can't wait for the drive home tomorrow! :burnrubr:

Here are some 'after' pics:

Very Nice!!...I've been Eye-Ball'n those traklite 2.0's too. I like the way they look on the MX-5's

Congrats, I'm sure you'll enjoy them.

How's the Sl33per doing? Do you still get to drive it?

Aww, you remember me yapping about the wagon? :D
Working on the Haltech's tune, needs new injectors (current ones are too slow) and a larger turbine section to maintain boost above 6psi (shooting for a daily 12psi).
Should see the dyno for final tune in a month or so...I hope.

The wagon, however, will not be getting cool wheels this time, though. I'm saving money for choice parts to go on the red rollerskate. :drive:

Whoah there, chief... I thought the rollerskate was supposed to be the beater! :rolleyes:

(BTW, I drove C-Balls's car the other night and it felt pretty strong on maybe 5-lbs of boost... obviously not nearly as frightening as it used to be, but still, 10-12 lbs oughta be a hoot!)

I've seen those wheels live and in person, and they are SWEET!

BTW... are you selling your KYB shocks or just selling the springs? I forget... my mind seems to be slipping...

It was supposed to be the beater. That plan went by the wayside last summer, though.

As re: AGX, check out your WTB thread. :thumrigh:
