New Wheels!!!!- Down-sized!!!

So a little over a month ago I decided to go smaller with my wheels. I went from 17's to 15's and I love them.

They are the super light weight Konig Brite Lites

Machined face with black powder coated edges and insides.

I got them from good-win-racing.com

I also got some much stickier Falken Azenis RT-615s in 205/50/15 size.

The car has MUCH more power (no, I know it did not GIVE me HP, but it doesnt take as much power to turn my wheels now due to less rotational mass and being closer to the hub) and is a lot easier to drive.

A real photoshoot is pending.

beautiful. I always liked the 15 inch look... I was originally gonna put 15' konig heliums on my car.

Try taking the & out of the file name and see if that fixes it. Just something to try :)

ZOMG THANK YOU. I'm getting these in 16s and wanted to be sure they looked good on the MX-3. They look awesome!

It's the Ampersand that funked it up for your picture. Remove the & in your picture filename and resave, repost. It'll love you.

Your new wheels look great plus a smart move to the 15's. Much lighter unsprung wt. over those 17"s I bet. Yah, I have silver 15" Konig Heliums too, similar style & wt. to the brite lites. xlnt choice IMHO. Always did like the way both styles of Konigs curved cutout spacing between the spokes kinda mimics the curves of the MX-3. :D

Your car looks pretty good with the 15's. My car runs the factory 15's and is pretty decent looking. I want to get them sand blasted and resprayed but I really like the looks of yours. How long did it take to get them?
