    Default MPS 6 Rim

    After a minor altercation with a gutter this evening, I am in urgent need of an MPS 6 stock mag wheel...

    Located in western Melbourne would be ideal...

    Sigh...

    Chris.

    Repair is out of the question methinks... a sizable chunk of the edge of the rim has come away...

    Ahh I see, so a "minor altercation" might have been an understatement

    Perhaps...

    Back end skipped out in an unexpectedly muddy corner and the wheel kissed the gutter... didn't even deflate the tyre, though I could hear a very quiet hiss, so it was going flat...

    Sigh.

    You could always donate your Gen II wheels... I like those...

    They are only 7.5 wide though aren't they?

    But... But... a 3 is light in the back, surely you only need one wheel down that end?

    i know a little while ago i was looking for another full set that could play around with colour changes. i found a mazda performance dealer in campbellfield i think it might have been called promaz or something like that. they wreck mazdas. got a couple of mps 6 in there. but he wanted rediculous price like $500 or so each. maybe could talk him down.

    Yeah, saw those ones on ebay... If it wasn't a choice between a trip to Sydney on a space saver spare or in the GF's lancer, I would probably pick those ones up

    Anyone travelling down from Sydney anytime soon???

    Have emailed Promaz to see what they have to say.
