My daily driver is so special, I give it it's own thread. new wheels.
 

So i've been looking around for a good deal on the Mazdaspeed3 stock wheels, from 2010+. most people wanted just like 800$ for the wheels. Got a local guy who sold me wheels, tires, TPMS, etc for WAY less than that, and all i had to do was slap em on.

well, here's a before and after.
Stock wheels were 17x7 +52 (herrasunk)
Stock MS3 wheels are 18x7.5 +45 (kinda herrasunk) but they fill the fender so well and look so much better.

When I first got it: (first day)

Then lowered and lip and yellow fogs:

And now, with MS3 wheels:

on that last pic looks a lot like a rx-8 front end but without the sharp lines. nice dd

cool d/d

looks good holmes.. Im sure you scored the wheels at a very NICE price..

:biggthumpup:

jake, you know how I am. the tires are almost brand new. they have 5k on them, factory tires.

and i paid less for everything than i did for jut the hankook evo's i put on my 17s. haha

your car so happy.. it's smiling.

haha that is epic! i know people rag on these things for looking like they're smiling, but i personally love the styling.

I like it too mayne.. Great pickup.. Adds to it's conservative aggressiveness. what's next?

on this car? prob nothing. taking a break from modding. just repairs.

but if anything, maybe a cf hood for the mazda later this year to help reduce the weight i picked up with the wheels hahaha

nah but seriously, prob open the tails and headlights, and black em out inside.

Nice.. you gonna ever auto-x this one?

no. no point in abusing my daily tires.

i first saw those bumpers for the rsx they were aftermarket and the style was mugen then mazda came along and started making it oem.

mazda makes some unique cars. and i've had it for 30k, and never once have i had to take it in for anything, no electrical issues, hoses, recalls, nothing.

that's more than I can say for most infinitis. haha! Yeah the styling is different, but at least they know their niche. and i personally like most of their cars (rx-8, ms3, ms6, etc) and they're loaded for the price. prob one of the funner cars out of the box FOR THE PRICE.

do i sound like i work for mazda yet?
