Are the old wheels 16\'s. Ive been after some original mazda 17\'s for a while they look like them tho? Do you know what model they are off or was it a case of post 99 spec?

Cheers

They are 16s, no idea mate, they were on my car when it came from Japan (through Jimmys).

All I know is they are post 99.

Cheers for the comments.

Your car looked good before but I have to say the alloys have improved it a lot.
Good job with the car, I know you personally have put a lot of work into it.

Cheers for the comments guys,

Thanks Steve, this is the first mod that hasnt caused me any grief lol.

Although I plan to get some Eagle F1s, so I will be keeping my fingers and everything crossed when the tyres are being replaced that the alloys dont get damaged lol.

Ooh, I like those! Bronze is much classier than gold IMHO :)

i love them from the quarter angled views but am not so sure from directly side on whether i prefer the old look or not. though i\'m like that with a lot of things, too indecisive lol :)

hopefully i will be moving back to norfolk sometime before christmas so when i do i look forward to occasionally seeing it around in the flesh again...!

I really am suprised about the number of people saying they like the old rims.

Thought that as they are a standard set of post 99 spec wheels people would think they are boring !!

It\'s amazing how much difference a set of wheels can make!

Looks like 2 different cars altogether, tho do like the bronze, very cool.
