Don't think those fit as nicely on that color. If it was black with chrome handles or something else chrome to match, it would look much sharper.

Im painting my whole car this week. Its going to be a Very Very dark grey

[aznkid.com]

IMO those rims won't match any colour.. I was never a fan of those two tone spokes

[Thrizzl3]

it only matches the front grille..but had you got all black rims it would have looked better but to each his own.

its also going to march my tails im tinting it black also my windows :chuckle

[Thrizzl3]

how dark is the tint going to be

[Sergiomax11]

15 back or maybe 5% and 25 in the front

[notoriousb]

Paint your car black as well... and do calipers black. Lower it, and add shark fin antenna, change back lights to the 05+ GT versions (the black ones) -- But don't pay attention to alot of people and their taste in rims -- people have too much variety of opinions on rims...

I find that most people on here like stock looking rims -- Oh and tire shine those things man.

And do 5 on the back and 15 on the front... I got that and no cops bothered me .. thats as dark as anyones got them i think. (I saw 5 in the front too.. but thats just stupid cuz ull get pulled over for sure)

[Thrizzl3]

20% on the front windows then 5% on the back window:)

[Silv3r]

Looks alright to me. To each his own. If it works for you, who cares what others say :) I wonder how they would look on Sunlight silver.

They will definitely catch people's attention and I'm sure you intend for that to happen if you got those ones.

They look familiar, like someone else was considering them on here...or was it you, not sure.

lol yeah that was me i made a thread about it tthe other day.. and i might do that phill :P

[3GFX]

I'm not sure what to think about those rims, not really my style. But I think lowering the car would do wonders for the looks. Maybe adding some black to the gray would make the rims match a little better ie. some vinyl. YES that's right, I said it: vinyl.

lol you stole the words out of my mouth !

[MAZDA Kitten]

not a fan

[yearoftherat]

As long as you like them, that's all that matters.

[Darkfrosty7]

1+ its your car, your taste.

[freddymak18]

I have the exact same car, don't think black/silver looks too well on titanium grey. I like gunmetal better. but true, it is your car and if you like it then who cares!

[Tokic_o]

I think I've said this to others before. Fix your plate!!! It looks cheap like that. Just put it in the middle with the license plate bracket!

[bustguy]

i actually like it, seeing as i have the exact same car, its nice to see something different than the original 15" alloys :)

[Mazda3X2]

I just think that rims look a little out of place becuase the rest of the car in the pictures is so stock.

With added mods (tint, lowering, lighting, grill...etc) I think it may come into its own.

Like others have said, if when you stand back and look at your car and love it, that's what really counts.

[mazdabetty]

There's nothing wrong with stock cars. lol

Just get rid of those red tails and you have yourself onnnne sexy car ;) Don't even bother painting it.... it's a great colour!!! Save your money for other great mods. :)

[kLuMzi]

this post delivers..

No man... You have to make it look good to the majority of people... how else are u gonna pick up girls --- cuz even if u find a girl who likes it ...they have friends and they gonna be like ur man drives an ugly car -- lol

And lets be real... you make ur car look good so other people be like oh nice carr... cuz if that wasn't the case... i'd be driving a hatch because its more practical :chuckle

unless you're planning to pay $8000+ for a paint job, nothing will be as good as a factory paint job.

lol it will be better then factory dont worry :)

[mazdathree]

I think the rims are quite nice eventhough it doesn't meet the likings of alot of people....to me these rims would look nice on your car if you add some more mods....there is no need to repaint your car just get it detailed.....you just need like others also mentioned the following to complete your car:

Tints (about 20% all around)
Stuby/Sharkfin
Remove side moldings
Replace tail lights (get the OEM style LED ones)
Front grill (open mouth or the GFX style)
Paint your calipers (Red would look good/ Black would be good but subtle)
Lowering springs
Fog lights
SSG front lip and side skirts
Black/White rear reflectors
Spoiler (Raised one)
LED side turn signals and 3rd brake light

There you go...this will make people say "wow! your car looks really good"....A good number of mods to keep you busy all summer! but $$$!

Language lessons. That is a wagon. Wagon doesn't equal to hatchback.

[p-o-g-i]

Interesting choice of rims.

I wonder how those rims would look painted all black.......

[JohnyGT]

Language lessons. That is a wagon. Wagon doesn't equal to hatchback.

Well said, well said, Brian!

[seelsy]

nice rims, if they are a part of an overall project and look your going for, then thats good, but i have to agree with the others, they dont really flow to well with the colour of your car, but if you like them thats all that matters

[notoriousb]

LOL

You know... For someone criticizing someone else's use of language -- you missed the underlying message ... which is:

I fail to see the difference between a station wagon and a hatch...

They are both the same and ugly --- only one is perceived cool by the people who own them.:gone

[aznkid.com]

i don't own neither a hatch nor i wagon but love them both

[bhrm]

lol it will be better then factory dont worry :)

why are you painting a car that less than a year old?

why not buy the right colour in the first place?

why not trade for the colour you want in the first place?

have you really thought this through?

repainting a brand new car is a complete waste of money IMHO, it doesn't add value to the car at all whatsoever, but to each their own.

Spending less than $4000-6000 to repaint, it would look like crap. Spending $8000 or more....might as well buy a new car?

Unless you're removing everything, engine bay and all...its going to look pretty bad.

[Tsirpas]

yucky, just my oppinion, as long as you're happy with em, than good for you!


but i've seen these rims on: civics (8 times) vw golfs (twice) vw jetta (4 times) and toyota matrix (twice)

Lol the car is a 04 so its 5 years old.

i wont trade it in cause my door is smashed right now and it gets to get fixed. to fix it its going to cost me around 700 bucks. But a buddy of mines that owns a big bodyshop said he wil fix the door fix all the rust for 1500. 1500 is his cost price he isent charging me anything else.

[omalak]

Sergio beat me to it!

I was just going to say, we have to stop assuming things (such as the paint cost)

I like the wheels, they maynot fit perfectly with this color.

But i think once the car is re painted to a darker color the wheels will work very nicely. Just get a drop and tnt windows and tails, and you are on your way.

As was said before wheels are a very touchy subject, everyoen has their likes and dislikes, but if you like the look then nothing else matters

Beauty as they say is in the eye of the beholder :)

I like them

[insaini]

another new member just posted pics of his car in the rides section ... same rims ... but on white ....

For some reason i read 2008.5 somewhere

And if your car is damaged, then might as well. But wouldn't insurance cover it?

Don't think those fit as nicely on that color. If it was black with chrome handles or something else chrome to match, it would look much sharper.
Agreed!
