oddly enough, i like the stock wheels better

I'm not a rim guy. If I looked at your car, then away for 10 seconds, then back at it with your new rims on, I probably wouldn't even notice.

I hope they weren't expensive.

I'm a rim guy, but for some reason I don't like the look of the new ones. I think something lighter would've been better. But that's just IMO.

 

[Insane3D]

No, not very expensive. I'm just not a multispoke rim kinda guy, and the stockers are a major pita to keep clean...

I need a new set of wheels one way or the other. I couldn't get steel wheels because the largest they make them is 16", and I needed at least a 17". I figured if I was going to spend money on wheels just for winter, I'd rather spend the money on upgrading the ones I have, and use those for winter.

*shrug*

nice ride, how much for the MS6? I am thinking this or the 300ZX TT.

 

[Jahee]

Looks like it needs to be lowered or something now, maybe its just an illusion, what size were the before and after rims?

Also is that a mazdaspeed 6 or what?

 

[Insane3D]

Sticker was $32k..got it for $25k OTD.

GT with everything but NAV.

No sales tax in NH.

Yes, it's a 2006 Mazdaspeed 6. I agree on the car looking like it needs to be lowered now...I think it's a optical illusion since the rims are darker.

Stock rims:

18x7 +55mm offset ~25lbs ea

New Rims:

18x7.5 +48mm offset ~20lbs ea

Same tires...I only have 1800 miles on it, so I had the stock tires swapped to the new rims.

Somebody spraypainted your license plate.

It's a rough neighborhood...

 

[Viperoni]

Not "substantial" enough for the car IMO.
Need's a slightly thicker spoke, less taper, and a more smoothed spoke face. And another inch in diameter to make em really fit in wheelwells nicely.

 

[SoLiDus88]

looks good.

 

[Kalvin00]

Those look pretty sweet man. Those stock wheels were FUGLY.

 

[DainBramaged]

Baller.

 

[PHiuR]

I would have gotten a set of rims that matched the color of your car...because it's grey, t's weird. But if you had say a red or a blue or whatever color car it wouldn't look as bad.

only my opinion tho.

I do like your car, however.

 

[Xyclone]

I liked the stock rims only because they were color matched. Why don't you get these painted?

 

[Farbio]

i like the new ones....i feel your pain on the winters....smallest i can go to clear the brakes are 16 as well...seems kinda dumb to spend that much for a steelie when a +1 is only a lil more

 

[Umberger]

i love the color... probably the wrong reason to buy wheels... but those are the same color as brake dust. that'll make it easier to keep them looking nice... there's nothing i hate more than a set of nice wheels that are nasty and dirty with brake dust.

 

[BUTCH1]

Nice car, I kinda like the stock rims better too, they have a newer more sophisticated look
to them. Other rims don't look bad, just look like they would go better with and old muscle car,
kinda like the old crager SS rims..

 

[Cobalt]

Nice wheels, ugly car. No offense, just not a fan.

 

[Fenixgoon]

the wheels by themselves look like crap, but on your car work pretty well IMO:thumbsup:

 

[tomywishbone]

I've got to say, I like the original wheels just as much, if not a bit more. Nothing wrong with the new 5-spoke wheels... they just don't make a big impact or change, on your car. Just my opinion.

Regardless... Happy Motoring!:beer:
