Hi all, I'm after a set of old/retro looking 14" steel wheels in 4x114 fitment that I want to get banded for my Mazda! Modern steels just don't have the right look about them! Can anyone help? Cheers  |

The most common retro steel in that size and fitment would be an MGB rostyle wheel I would think, but I'm not sure if the style would suit the car..

Okay more progress! On Saturday I fitted Coilovers onto the car Custom made ones out of the standard struts. Makes the car look 10x better. I only have a couple of pictures of it right now. Hopefully get some better ones later.   |

That looks great. Who modded the struts, and how does it ride.

I think this would look amazing on a set of 15" Slotmags off a Scimitar.

That looks great with the splitter colour-matched and, dare I say the, *ahem* faux oil cooler gone, Much more better  Just slightly bigger wheels and that'd sit perfect |

I have some slightly bigger tyres lined up that should be able to reduce the arch gap, then I can put the coilovers down more Looking class. It must be one of the most drifty looking FWDs out there :-p Yeah and don't that suck! Everyone asks me if it's RWD, I just cry and say no |
