I didn't realize there were so many blues! There are a few guys on this forum with LeMans blue and I envy them. I agree with you on the Ford red - that is a sharp color, even better than Mazda's soul red.

Mine are in 17x7.5 square with an ET42 offset, with a 10mm hub-centric spacer in the rear to complete that stance  . I love the way it rides and handles (with lots of suspension parts) on mere 225-section tires. One day I want to get some serious DForce LTW5 wheels in 17x9 ET41 and cram some fat 255-section tires all around, especially since those wheels weigh a ridiculous 16 lbs  and are fairly priced for the quality...

225 square is my short-term goal, mainly because you don't have to make many changes to the car to get them to fit. I don't think wheels will happen for a while though. My most recent mod was Tacoma (new daily driver) so I have some freedom to make the 1er more track focused now. My next mod is driver mod, then I'll change what doesn't work on the track.
