It never ceases to amaze me how the right style of 17" rims complement the heck out of a MX-3. Your car looks brand new on the pics.

Nice rims man.

Thanks man

BTW, i use Armor All Tire Gel on my tires.. i've used just about everything..i find that this stuff lasts longer and is glosser than anything i've used.. and surprizingly.. cheaper

Its like 4.50 at autozone, or 4 bucks at wallmart

I actually got them from a company in Cali called Ice Cold Racing.
They actually produce knock off's of other company's rims..It's probably illegal.. but hey!

These rims are a knock off of Enkei RP03 Rims - 17x7 of these rims usually retail for about 1200 before shipping, I got mine for 155 before shipping. The only difference is the Enkei's are 17.2 lbs a piece, these are 21.3 lbs a piece.. they are a bit heavier and the coloration is SLIGHTLY different, but otherwise to the untrained eye.. they look the same.

I'm happy with the quality and the guys that shipped these things definately knew what they were doing - each rim was individually wraped to protect the face of the rim, and card boarded to protect the lips of the rims.

$155! thats a freakin steal! even if it is before shipping.

what offset is the wheel and how much room do u have between the strut and the wheel?

its a +40mm offset, with the 205/40/R17's tires i have on them, i have about 3/4 inch clearance between the top of the tire and the bottom of the strut (where the spring gets held by the strut)

and this was at the time i had full tread.
