New Wheels

ripracer · 10-01-2009, 11:07 AM

Tires are a lot bigger than I though, so either getting 245/35 T1Rs and/or hopefully my facelift and Mazda Large Factory aero will help out the large tires, still have the flares too, just waiting on camber arms and then I can figure out how much spacer I need.

808roadster · 10-01-2009, 11:34 AM

What size tires are on there now? Looks good. How much do those weigh?

ripracer · 10-01-2009, 02:27 PM

225/45zr16 G-Force Rims weigh just under 17lbs

aarrowadscom · 10-01-2009, 03:06 PM

Could you let us in on the size of the wheels? That would be really nice.

Skinnyroadster · 10-01-2009, 03:08 PM

Miro STP1 16x9+15

ripracer · 10-02-2009, 12:50 AM

Man my car is ugly, I can't wait for this new facelift, aero, and some paint.

13thumper · 10-03-2009, 08:41 PM

I'm looking at XXR 15 x7 +15 offset for my NB with 215 45 rubber. Are those wheels gonna be out as far as your's

ripracer · 10-03-2009, 08:56 PM

Mine stick out about 4.75" from the hub yours will be 3.75"

picked up 245/35 t1rs for the rims today

LostSoulMiata · 10-03-2009, 11:11 PM

I like it, it's clean looking

Are you going to add to or delete what looks like vinyl on the side?

ripracer · 10-04-2009, 02:25 PM

Carbon Fiber top is on the way and will be paint the a pillars and surround gloss black and the rest of the car some kind of blue. Can't decide if I want to stay true to Mazda colors or venture out.

LostSoulMiata · 10-05-2009, 03:10 AM

Venture out

13thumper · 10-06-2009, 07:04 AM

Venture out,go for some medium blue metallic to give it some pop. Spray an aluminum metallic and overcoat with the medium blue. Not cheap but will definitely stand out in a crowd.

afc2112 · 10-06-2009, 10:34 AM

Venture out. If you're leaning towards blues here's a useful thread.

My faves are Estoril blue & Mexico blue.

13thumper · 10-07-2009, 08:05 AM

I like that wakeboard blue myself.

ripracer · 10-07-2009, 04:40 PM

Really leaning towards infinit g35 Caribbean Blue

cool, I have the same tires and I love them!
It's good that you will have them on 9" (I have them on 8" and there is zero stretch) :rolleyes:

jeepster118 · 10-07-2009, 05:28 PM

looking good man. but why such a big tire on a 9? you pushin good power?

superman with heat · 10-07-2009, 05:40 PM

Because they fit, this is a grip car first and a drift car somewhere else down the line, when I get spacers so I can actually get some angle having a 9" wheel in the front.

jeepster118 · 10-12-2009, 05:51 PM

haha. good stuff man. i am in the process of some how fitting 10s in the front.

zoom2zoom · 10-24-2009, 03:02 PM

the wheels were apparently bought with money he made from selling bad parts on mt.net, nothing to brag about ripracer!!

That sucks. I hate it when people covet or lie in sales transactions, and then use distance to not mediate a transaction. Low stuff.

MadVillain · 10-24-2009, 03:37 PM

thanks for that proof.now everyone can know.

superman with heat · 10-24-2009, 03:48 PM

just read the entire thread ... wow, maybe he wont post here no more either

aarrowadscom · 10-24-2009, 04:11 PM

damn. Get this guy outta here!

Myrmidon · 10-24-2009, 05:49 PM

bayly is fine.... i bought a whole parts car when i was in need for a good deal, he's a very standup guy.

internet business is inherently shady and bad shit goes down between buyers/sellers all the time, i've had bad experiences in both directions and inadvertently gave people bad experiences.

shit happens, get over it and keep personal/business seperate.

ultimateforce · 10-24-2009, 05:52 PM

I can't even log in to Miata Turbo (not that I'd want to), but here's how the whole situation was explained to me in person.

Bayly has a spare Miata to part out, including engine. It has never run (to his knowledge) and pulls it for sale. Some guy buys the engine, puts it in his Miata, drives with it for a while THEN decides it's no good and does a reverse payment on his credit card. This leaves Bayly up shit's creek and the circle jerk at MT bans anyone who tries to sort the story out.

Who gives a shit. I am glad my Miata is sold, can't wait for it to be gone.

aarrowadscom · 10-24-2009, 06:43 PM

Well shoot. Half the guys say he's alright, the other half look like they want to bury him in the desert.

I just know I only want to deal with guys that aren't threatened the latter.
