I have no idea how you could drive the 0 offset sportmax at all without doing that.

I already rolled them but I think my FM/AGX combo doesn't help any. With the 16x8's in the rear and the 15x7's in the front I can drive around like a regular car. If I get just barely on the boost and the ass end squats down....forget about it. I have chunks missing out of the tires from getting so chewed up on the rear fenders. If I ignore that fact and fuck around, the tires start to smoke like crazy. The 16x8's in the front wont work at all.

It really sucks and its been something that's bothered me since I put them on. Now that I have the money I want to get a nice set of wheels, good all around tires, and swap my suspension for a Tein setup. I am pretty sure I will get the nickel 6UL's. Unless Emilio makes a matte black 6UL, then I don't know for certain.

I tried to photoshop a white miata with a black hardtop on 949's website and make it mariner blue with a black hardtop, but that was a no go. The whole picture turned blue every time I tried so I gave up. I'll attach the picture if anyone could hook it up and make it mariner, just to give me an better idea. :bigtu:

Is this helpful? I used the picture in your sig as a base for the blue, but when I added the shadowing back in it got a little washed out.

Thanks man, I watched a tutorial on youtube and finally did one and got a similar result. I think because the miata I am using is white it doesn't show many shadows, gloss, etc. I could be wrong.....I don't know much about PS.

I'm gonna wait until spring and get a set of 6ULR's.....in nickle of course. :bigtu:
