    That's a pretty tight fit! Looks great though.

    The mazda logo can be ground down flat with no problems.

        So just to confirm the nub cannot be ground down right?

        It's a brake fluid channel or something?

          I'll call the place up tomorrow. He should have called me today, but didn't.

          It can be ground down a bit. Just don't go too far ;)

            So basically just round it off a bit? I wanna make a little more wheel clearance.

              So are you getting the adapters made custom? I have heard that there is some mystical adapter that can be had from a volvo. No one seems to know what one though...

                I thought you already sourced adapters?

                  Try volvo 740 adapters. Although they look like they need a little more of a bevel to properly seat.

                    thats what she said! Haha jk. Yea I really like how it fills in the wheel. I'm goin to be ordering the 15x8 verison of the rim and according to tirerack has more backspacing so I wont have to shave much of the mazda logo. I figure it would be a nice conversion starter at autocross haha.

                    Oh put me on the list for a pair of those adapter line fittings

                          I'm getting pretty frustrated with these adapter fittings. I still don't have them, but my supplier promised to call me first thing in the morning when he figures out where they are. If thinks they might have shipped to the wrong store.
                          Thanks for your patience guys!
