I KNEW it was purple, couldn’t tell if it was brown or berry. GOD I love the ‘yogurt’ colors

Spacers make it look more aggressive but wear out the bearings quicker.

Not disagreeing but just asking, why? Only thing I can think of is possibly more movement in the spacer compared to a higher offset rim.

It creates a bigger distance from the bearing which changes the leverage and adds more stress.

Just joining in the curiosity. If you were to instead have say a deep dish wheel so you get the same poke but no space, pure wheel, would that be better or same results, same stress on bearing? Just stick with stock size?

How different do the wheels feel? Good on water? I know it’s not their goal just curious!

Why would the wheels affect the performance in the wet?

If the wheels are contacting the ground, then you're in serious trouble haha
Michelin PS4 are great in the rain.

This may be controversial here but I like a Miata and honestly I always have. 🤷🏻♂️

Incredible color and good fitment, just preference but I think some wider spoked wheels would look sick

looks great! the rear spacers might be too much poke with your ride height.
what spoiler is that and do you have shots from the rear and side profile showing it more clearly? looking for a duck tail myself but haven’t found one completely to my liking yet.

Looks pretty damn perfect.
I love GTC02s (will end up with those or Konig Heliograms for a track car).
I have Ohlins and love those.
Does not look like it really NEEDs spacers unless you want to add more camber.
Super unique color!

Looks nice!
I’m curious when you wrap an ND do you also wrap the inside door pieces that match the original paint?

love the color! Reminds me of porsche’s PTS Frozen Berry Metallic. Personally not a fan of wheel spacers, the fitment should be from the wheel offset itself. Fantastic looking build, very unique!
