I'm almost certain that all S5 coupe wings were created equal.

s4 would be the way to go if you wanted a OE wing, not because of how it looks but because its easyer to pain as it is a fiberglass material, the OE s5 are made of a rubber like material that is a bitch to paint.

Negative. S4 spoiler that came off my car was the rubber one. In fact I've never seen a stock fiberglass spoiler on any FC.

AND I do have a MAZDA FG spoiler that is SIMILAR to the GXL/TII wing on my NA but not quite an exact match. It's supposed to be a rare aftermarket piece.

the S4 wing is RUBBER, i've never seen a FG sport wing.

and regarding the rims: how wide are they and how much do they weigh???

Based on LOOKS alone I'd go with the silver (what color is your car again?) but I'd want to know more about the size and weight.

I'm a huge fan of the Wangan wing but if your going to go that route you have to have just as wild wheels and aero. doesn't look as nice on a stock body.

oops. this is plagues brother not plague.

You know truthfull I have no idea... Do you mind telling me what exacty I should be looking for in rims, (besides the pretty-ness factor) lol...

There are much to many options for my "un-tuned" brain to fish through...
Here is the link to those. (BTW I am not looking to spend a bazillion dollars)

Here is what I would look for:
16" rims (so that my speedo isn't too off as compared with the 17" and 18" rims)
width at least 8" so you can get more rubber on the ground.
weight depends on your budget but less than 20lbs is nice

last, but not least that it looks nice.

I don't like any of the rims in th elink you posted. You're going with a larger diameter wheel but stay with the same width as stock? Seems purely aesthetic to me. You're adding rotational mass, most likely weight and no more grip than before. my 2 cents.

The only spoiler I like for the FC other than the stock TII wing...I have one, but I won't be putting it on until after the first of the year and I get my tax return...the fc is getting all new paint FINALLY!



oh...and I don't think they make it anymore...I got mine used here on the forum.
