damn...that makes just the lowering alone makes your Mazda5 sweet!! but to finish it off, put some nice rims on it....and your set!!
altho the rims you have right now are pretty sweet....for stock....i only have the steelies, so it aint much to look at (on my 3)

We're still debating on that. Var or can? Whatever the vehicle ends up being, it's a whole lot of fun to drive (even though it's my wife's).

Hey Thai, the aftermarket wheels are limited. Mazda installed the tire pressure sensors in the stock wheels so if you want to retain that system, get some wheels that can accommodate the sensors. I didn't think about it so we have to put up with the annoying TPS dash light. Here is what I went with.

well it has the sliding doors like a van, but im guess it handles and drives like a car.....so lets go with its a van that acts like a car...
or just say its the best van EVER!! (excluding those VW love buses from the 70's)
and im liking the all red theme, except that white pinstripe
IMO, those pinstripes makes car look cheaper
