    Question Opinion please.

    Well, I am thinking of trading wheels and want some opinions from you all.

    Ever since seeing Unoriginalusername's MS3 with the powder coated MS6 wheels I have loved that look. I was just never able to find a set at a reasonable price to do so. Now I can do it for very minimal costs and think I will go through with it and have them coated slightly darker than the last picture.

    Thanks to Unoriginalusername for photoshopping his old wheels onto a white MS3 for me.

    What do you all think?

    No, the second car is lowered more than mine. Mine still sits like in the first picture.

    I've always had a "thing" for the MS6 wheels - go for it - or at least tell me where you found em so I can get them instead!

    Both those wheels look great, but if you prefer the MS6s, just go for it.

    Well I'm going against everyone else lol. I like the ones you have. Personally, I think the BBS ones are mint. Don't get me wrong, the MS6 rims would look good too.

    I like your current setup, I LOVE oem rims...just picked up a minty fresh set of 2010 Speed3 rims for my 2010 hatch...but your current rims are just plain badass.

    I love 'em! MS6 rims are nice too, but your car will look a little less nasty if you go that route.

    My 2 cents!

    Are they the same size? The first set looks smaller, I like the MS6 better.

    They are the same size, 18". I think it's the car and the wheels in the shop that weren't quite to scale.

    If I lowered it to that height I wouldn't be able to drive it around here at all in the winter. And a winter beater is not an option.

    I have a guy that wants my rims for his MS6. He has painted his MS6 wheels black, (a poor job he says as it is starting to flake off) but that wouldn't matter much to me for powder coating anyways. He's going to trade me his rims and tires for mine and throw in some cash to help with the powder coating costs on my end.

    I've told him it's a go at this point and am just waiting until maybe April to do the swap. He has his rims on right now with a set of winter tires.

    Thanks for all the comments guys.

    The Speed6 wheels look amazing on your car. Both setups are great but I prefer the Speed6 wheels to your current rims.

    More unique too.

    MS6 wheels are now starting to appear up for sale down in the states.

    I'm impartial to the vote as I'm biased.

    2010 might be the year that OEM rims are back in amongst TM3ers. Almost everyone is trading/selling their aftermarket rims for OEMs.

    OEM wheels seem to have really exploded in this area, while in the US, it is the same...everyone wants anything BUT OEM rims LOL

    Good for us I guess!
