Here’s a very impromptu shoot of the Paul’s Miata that is making ricing history (which I blogged about previously here). Earlier today, I was looking at old shots of his car back when it had 15×8 +0 Work Equip 01s. The wheel size that made ricing history a few years ago, now looks completely weak in comparison to these epic 15×10s!  It was only a few years ago that Miata owners across the world cried for blaspheming their beloved two seat roadsters with 8 inch wide wheels and offets lower than 30mm! Just imagine what those Miata owners will say about this now. Ten inch wheels under stock fenders, who would’ve thought!?

For those of you that are not ricers and just read that above paragraph, I’m sure all those words meant absolutely nothing to you. And for that, I apologize.

But for those ricers that do appreciate such epic riceness as this, this, and this, then I’m sure you will appreciate epic rice like this:

Personally, I don’t think this is my best car shoot or even be considered a good shoot. But this ricing history had to be documented! But those of you that have the eyes of a hawk might notice that there’s a slight different feel to the photos. I was trying a different editing style with these photos. Let me know what you think, and also, if you don’t like them please tell me why! : )

    Man that looks amazing. I really like the feel of those shots too! They have a mellow nostalgic feel to them almost. I love the 3rd one down!

    Damn! Epic fitment fo sho! Roadster looks great!
    As for the photos, they def. have kind of an old family photo album feel to them. Loving the fourth shot down and the overhead shot. The cool color tones def. give it an interesting feel too.

    I’ve always liked the sunstrike, white toned style you put on a lot of your photos. I think it’s quite unique and you should keep rolling it. The 7th photo did it for me, mostly because of the composition but I like the lack of colour in it too.

    Rarely is the word epic used in the correct context. This is one of the few times that I will agree that something is EPIC! Sweet roadster and those wheels are just plain awesome… I need them in my life right now!

    Car looks absolutly sick from the side! However, I would change your wording as these things don’t fit “UNDER” the car. You can everyone else can see they stick out an 1″ and have 205 tires on them to clear and thats the only reason why. I’m not trying to down the setup cause I like it but WTF…

    Well at least you embrace the fact that you have no taste and don’t mind a fucked up suspension geometry.

    RICE FO LYFE…. errr something. :-(

    EPIC? Epic fail. That looks horrible and I bet it functions even worse.

  14. 14 sean jay

    ^both you fags just mad cuz we stylin on you

  15. 15 BGPunk2001

    Yeah, sean, i maaaad pissed that you have ugly broke ass cars. LOL

    I love it when someone makes a bad remark about someone’s car, and someone else’s best retort is that we are clearly jealous of what an awesome vehicle you have created. Yes, you clearly know me enough that you can deduce whether or not I am jealous of your car from a single sentence. Good job brotato.

  16. 16 sean jay

    thank you, i accept your jealousy, broslice.

    Quick, kill it with fire.

    Why take a decent handling miata and fuck all that up?
