Just curious... has anyone put an MRM 2IS on the bronze S5s? I want to do that, but I kinda want proof that the car looks good... could someone maybe photoshop it for me (I lack photoshopping skills)? Or if anyone has already done it, could you share pics? Thanks!

The pic below is my car before any mods... but just thought it would give me a good idea of what it will look like if someone could photoshop it! Thanks in advance!



P.S. Could someone review the quality of these wheels? Has anyone heard anything bad? Good? etc? Thanks!

Red + Bronze? I dunno - that seems like an odd mix of colors.

What would you recommend? The gunmetal ones? I was thinking that too, but wasn't wow'd by the other MRM cars with gunmetal S5s... it looks good... just not stunning.

Of the colors available for the S5:F wheels, my feeling is that gunmetal looks the best with MRM.

Go to www.fivead.net. They have a program called the "Visualizer" that will let you see what your car will look like with the Five Axis wheels. I loaded an MRM IS350 with Bronze wheels and stand by my original opinion.

Excellent, thanks for the tip on the visualizer. I'm still not sure though... wasn't wow'd by either of them. But other decent wheels in this price range (<$1500 for 4 wheels) are so limited... the only others I hear about are Linea Corse and Rota but no one seems to be able to vouch for their quality, etc. Anyway, thanks for your help!

I read the thread that you bought the wheels from and the seller said you have +40 front and +45 rear ... so assuming I know how spacers work (I hope I do ), yeah, 10mm front and rear should make it perfect...

But just to be safe lets let a few wheel gurus chime in ...
