Polished lips with black/coloured centres is where its at nowadays
if they were at least 16" i might consider it but 15" is to small for a main wheel for me...I was almost going to get the MS-01S's but i wanted to stay true to the "A-spec touring kit" ...correct me if im wrong but i believe im the only one on here that has ever done a build like thisJayoM wrote:I do like a chrome dish I have to say. That looks great, fair play. Now put those other ones into retirement and make these your main wheels. Nevermind that winter wheel bollocks anyway!

It was a car in Japan so it may have been a legit A-spec car. The others I saw had full length side skirts. I have never seen one with an A-spec sticker though. I was doing the same thing, you beet me to the punchBut some things have changed now and I am going to go with full length skirts.
If you take your wheels in and have them done professionally they can tape off the painted part and bead blast the lips to a mirror shine. Or you can just tape them off and wet sand the best you can. I picked up a foam buffing disk that would be able to get pretty dang close to the inside edges from the autobody store. a dremel might be able to do the trick as well.

I polished then clear coated rims with Lacquer, it's not overly durable but the advantage is it's easily removed with Lacquer thinners if you chip or curb rash the wheel. I like how clear the finish is as well.

To be technical, only an mx-3 worked on by mazda to have MS parts installed with a tuned badge that actually relates to your VIN in mazda documentation could be considered official. Those days are long gone...![]()
I mean you can call you worklog whatever you want but, just so people aren't confused. We can get pretty technical around here (at least I can LOL)
