Which "color" wheels for my MP5...?

I've decieded to purchase a set of "ZEO DESIGNS" , "BZ-13". They come in Silver, Gun Metal, Gold, Bronze and White. My 2002 Protege5 is Vivid Yellow........What style would you chose?

Check the wheels out at www.branzach.com , then link to zeowheels.

Thanks, Speedbump

We must live near each other. Where abouts are you? My shop is in San Jose. There's usually at least three proteges there at all times and a WRX, possibly a few miatas.

I'm gonna save you some major heartache and reccommend you come into the shop and see what I'm talking about in person. This way you'll belive me.

Those wheels WILL NOT work bro. So sorry. They do look interesting. I personally like the other style, kinda E46 M3ish. Regardless I'm here to hook up the forum guys and if you want to take advantage of that give me a call and we''ll go through the movements to get you wheels that will not create problems.

If you really like them you can always get them shaved some, but pay extra for this service. We can do this too.

The hub of the wheel, which mates to your car via the four or five lug nuts (depending on Protege model) should not be compromised by having an additional four or five unused holes.

Weak design.

Find a good wheel with only one bolt pattern drilled into it...either 4 x 100mm or 5 x 4.5"...not two sets of holes.
I agree ,, look for a rim with just 5 holes in it ... and you should be good to go
