With all the recent hype of massive chromies and dumped suspension, im just curious to know what look is favoured at the moment.

We have my previous Bling setup of 19s and uncomfortably low suspension (as in signature pic), and my current very drivable setup of 17's and sensible suspension.

Which gets the vote!?

I much prefer the bling look, but the buddy's still look very nice..

My car had work rims on it red lip, black inner... looked track but didn't appeal to me.. so i changed to 18's and dropped it 3.75" and i think it looks way better.

looks good both ways, although i'd take it in the top pics because i'm not a fan of those particular 19's...

but all depends on what you're going for...if you want just pure looks, and dont mind a bumpy ride, or if you want it to be functional and smoother...

bronze and the orange look great..

those chromies looked a bit too stupid, and way to low at the rear. Usually i laugh at cars like that, just as they obviously are going for a certain look, which must have to make the car more difficult to drive everywhere.

the chromies look ok because they fill the guards more.... if the track rims were one inch bigger it would be awesome... otherwise the track look is more suitable to the car and means its actually being used as a peformance car not a cruiser :(

so the buddys/track look is more popular so far which is good to know.. On the GTSt's 19s are too big for decent handling IMO. apart from adding to the unsprung weight, the rolling diameter is significantly taller than the stock 16's, for which the suspension geometry was designed to work with! not trying to start a suspension thread tho :(

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
