Post Your Rims Here!

Jegi they look great, I was looking at these when I was upgrading my rims last year, I think they also came in a shadow chrome.

Your photoshopping is pretty good, looks much better lowered, FYI I've got mine fractionally lower now with my Cusco coilovers!

ROH Mantis - 18 x 7.5 with 225\40 Falken rubber. Mine is currently at stock ride height, but I hate it, so couldn't help lowering it with photoshop, hopefully that's the height it will be sitting in a few months.

Now they look hot on a 6!

Thats an awesome Wheel Jegi Deffinatley is HAWT!

Would look awesome in like a shadow chrome .... will be awesome once you drop it

Hey Lynchy,

They are Shadow Chrome. When the light hits it directly and you look at it side on, they appear silver, but look at it in an angle and they look gun metal especially when the light is not hitting it directly. I think it's just one of those instances where the photos don't do the colour of the rims justice.

Cheers for the comments fellas, yea I do need to get it lowered, staring at the wheel arch gap is killing me, but have other expenses that are more pressing that will come up real soon.

Sweet Jegi it would be awesome in the flesh then

Jegi,
I have been thinking about getting these wheels, any chance you could take a couple more photos from different angles (and without the photo shop.....) so I can get a better idea of how they look?
My car is same colour as yours so it would help me out a lot. Thanks

No worries Rooballer, I'll be taking some pics of my mates Audi this weekend, so I'll hit up some photos of my car (minus the photoshopped ride height) from different angles!

They look great Jegi. I saw these rims in the shadow chrome colour on a Toyota Aurion a few weeks back and they caught my eye. But they look alot better on a 6MPS!

Any reason you went for the 7.5" rims as opposed to the 8" rims?
The deal I am looking at is 18" x 8" with 235/40 Tyres, just want to make sure I am not missing any obvious potential problems.

[blackbetty]

Rooballer, I would definately go the 18x8 with the 235 tyres, your tyre options in that size are much much better and the wider stance on the car looks great, whats the offset on the ROH Mantis ?

Michelin PP2's in 235/40/18 are only $250ish a tyre ... top value

I was told they wouldn't fit by the JAX tyre outlet, which was probably true with a +45 offset, however a week later I got my guards rolled, so I could have gone 18 x 8 if I wanted to in hindsight.

[blackbetty]

stupid tyre outlets mine are 18x8 with 45 offset and fit fine with the 235's although saying that my cars not lowered at all and I did need my rear guards rolled

[AD07]

Some tyre manufacturers wont warrant 235's on anything less than an 8" wide rim....but i have Federal 595's 235/40/18 on a 7.5" wide rim (allowable per their web site). No rubbing or scraping with a set of Cobb springs fitted. Although it is fairly rare i have passengers in the back.

[STEALTH_MPS]

i have 18x8s on mine with 225/40s. Cars isnt lowered either and guards arent rolled and have no scrubbing issues with either the front or rear and thats with the rear filled up as well.

I must admit looking at them on the car, it seems a tight fit, going 8 inch width and 235 tyres on top of that would make me worry about rubbing once lowered. The mazda 6 guards aren't that generous. Having said that obviously we have members with the 8 inch width and 235 setup, but for me, it just seems tight, I'm happy with the 7.5 225\40 set up. Actually once these tyres are out, I will probably go 225\45.

Hi All,

Due to me getting a company car in the very near future, we have decided to get rid of the girlfriends SP23. This means she will be driving the MPS on a daily basis.

Those of you who know my car, will know that the 20's with 225/30/20 are not really very forgiving. My girlfriend was always paranoid that she would break something by hitting a pothole or something.

Anyway, to the point of the story - I've bought some 18's and will be selling the 20's.
