You should procure them in Marquis Promadas rather than Regas

Ill post up a pic of mine, our badges should be pretty much in the same place because im assuming you used it to cover up the mazda holes as well.
HAHA, yes your idea is a good one imo. I have had the badge on since last year; can't take the credit for it though. (I think someone just wanted me to try it on and make sure it wouldn't look like crap on his car first...... )

Nope, I did have a cheap mesh style set (HP wheels) in completely the wrong size, but I have good friends that helped me see the light about my wheels! I am also loving my new tires, went from Falken 451's to Dunlop Direzza Star Z1's

Here is an old pic from last summer....

Very nice Damari! Wheels look nice. Is the name plate a combination of CX-7 and RX-8 pieces?

Rich, Well DONE! I now need to find another 18hp to catch up. Maybe the GZ LIM sitting in a box in my garage will help BTW what was your AFR's and were you using pump for the 20psi pull?

Crispy

I would have liked to have gotten the 7 closer with the dash inside, but because of the mazda holes, and trying to cover up as much of the old logo mark as possible (sun fading) I had to position them there. I also think with the 7 spaced further apart it lessens just how slightly larger the 7 is compared to the rx.

Dude...definitely 18's 17's are decent but asthetically they just look too small no matter how wide.. 18's you can get pretty damn low with... But I'd advise 18's over 17's any day... do you have 2 fd's bew?

Thanks Crispy, that is definitely a compliment coming from you. Your FD is one the best put together I have ever seen. Yes, it is a combo of the Cx-7 and Rx-8 badge. I am also swapping over to the Flying M badges to match it up better but haven't gotten to it yet.

255/35's in front, 265/35 in rear

Thank you Captain OBVIOUS...one thing at a time, not sure about lowering it anymore since the roads are crappy with our NE winters. Spacer in rear...YES, I do need!

And maybe she is finally becoming photoshoot worthy?!

Thanks Tom! I think 20B 3 rotor should just lower the dash a bit.

Thanks Chris

AFRs were mid 11s with the water injection. The 20 psi tune was on 93 Octane with the water injection..... I can use it all day, every day

Good choice, you must have some tire gurus to help you out

Car looks great D, the wheels look even better than I expected

A girl eh , didnt know I apologize.

I wonder if the mazda badge changed over the years, because I think my dash is covering a hole, but now im doubting myself and considering removing it...

I feel like my car is copying yours, its a good thing my old rims havent sold yet or I too would have had work emotion xd9's on my car with direzzas.

And since this is a pic thread, the last blurry cell phone pic of my old rims.

Calling all ROTARDS!!!

My FD is gone. DEAD and Gone.

The only way I can keep her alive is if I can find a RHD shell / roller located in the USA.. I'm putting out a WANTED

If anyone can help me with finding a decent RHD shell or roller I will paypal them $500. NO BS.

I hope someone can help me. I found one in Toronto but getting it across the border is well.. hard to say the least.

Nothing. Just found a nice rhd cym for cheap two years ago and had to buy it. The FD is my dream car and I was lucky enough to have it at 22.

A LHD roller will be too expensive for me to convert to put my parts on it and the ideal way for me to "restore" my car is to get another RHD shell and swap all my parts.
