    I have a 3cm drop via king springs and can take my car everyhwere (atleast so far).
    Ride is bumpier but less bodyroll and less front/back see-sawing with gear changes. Cornering is improved.

    If the wheel gap doesnt bother you I'd stay stock. MPS6 wheel gap is misleading, due to the AWD system, even at stock height the actual lowest point under the car is less than 20cm from the ground.

    Yes, I am sick.

    Can't wait to see them on your car- great choice in wheel.

    BBOSS Maddison?

    Almost certainly +45 offset. I don't think they make anything with a higher offset than that. Anything lower would be a clearance nightmare.

    Default wheel type

    apparently they are kspeed biaggis but we all know they get sold under 500 names.

    I hated these wheels but feel they suit my car imo

    as for clearance... they sit quite neatly inside the wheel arch but as the car is quite low it can have some issues..

    Ah. They're a copy. Not the same wheel. BBOSS where whining about design rip-offs last year. Only the BBOSS are the real-deal etc, etc....there are quite a few replicas of the maddison....some of them are c_r_a_p but can't easily tell the difference from the pic. The "signiature" sits closer to the rim on yours, I think.

    Was looking at BBOSS early in my searches - they have some quite good quality designs, well finished. Too heavy and not a great fit for my requirements.

    Lucky you stock MPS3 rims are nice, not like the stock MPS6, what were Mazda thinking, they dont suit the car at all. Even one of the new 6's has a similar looking rim and its still not good.

    yeah, with no disrespect to anyone I haven't seen a set of wheels on the MPS3 yet that I think look better than the stock ones.....

    But, of course thats my opinion, and luckily we all have different tastes....

    One of the reasons why i picked my MPS black, some nice black rims would easily look awesome, while for the other colours is a lot harder to improve the look of the stock rims.

    Agreed WHAT WERE THEY THINKING . Can't wait to replace mine with some classy 19s or 20s
