Hey guys, its time to look for new shoes for my new mazda 3
its a 2004 sedan with GFX package, and the color is not silver...not black...but that gunmetal grey color.
Would you put on the standard siler RX8 18 rims, or these?

Out of the 2 you are choosing between, I'd go RX8's over MSR's anyday. But do some more looking, there are much nicer wheels on the market if you have time to dig.

I know, but I just want to keep it within budget
Rx-8's get my vote. Maybe because I have them too lol :)

Love the RX-8 rims but, personally, I think black rims look really sharp on a silver car. Especially black rims with a silver lip like the ones you've posted.

I would get the rx8 wheels, the other rims look cheap. I have the same color and the rx8 wheels look good

In that case, definitely the RX-8s!
What kind of prices are you looking at. RX-8s can be cheap or pricey. What's your budget there are a lot of wheels out there!
But between those two, I'd go with the RX8s. The MSRs are cheap, and they look it. The black spokes are of a style that won't match the car well IMHO.

I like the RX8 rims better. Not a big fan of the chrome like lip.

Rx8s are too close to stock looking wheels (unless that's the look you want).
But those black ones, don't look that pimp either. Depending on budget, you could find something better. Just have to look and look.

Good choice. You'll be happy you did. The rx-8s look great on a slightly dropped 3.

Awesome deal! And if you did decide to change the colour down the line there are some very good powdercoating threads. This one is running currently FYI
