So, I've got some spare cash and in a month or so I'll be heading to Toronto. Already got in contact with Allen at Simplytire (super nice guy) and have been talking rims.
Now, I cannot decide what I want lol. I've narrowed it down to
Enkei EKM3 in dark gunmetal http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m570/Jason_Gauthier/Enkei.jpg
GP Racing GR-4s in bronze http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m570/Jason_Gauthier/GR.jpg
orAdvanti 045's in charcoal or black with machined lip http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m570/Jason_Gauthier/advantis.jpg
Its for an 06 GT, indigo blue and Ive since blacked out my side markers and done a full LED exterior conversion so its just Black or blue exterior more or less.

GP Racing GR4s in gunmetal, I mean bronze - my bad :D
I am not biased at all.
I say none of them. Everyone has the same colour rims and style... Go with something different

We can't tell you what to buy. What it boils down to is what you like. For example I have 17x7.5 American racing casino chrome rims on my car. Now I know a lot of members on TM3 don't like chrome rims on these cars but I can honestly say my car is completely different then other Mazda 3's. In my city everyone that has a Mazda 3 has either black, gunmetal rims.

Sorry man my post was not meant to make you think your defensive. I was just saying you will have to find what you like. Your the one who will have to look at them every day lol.
Their is a thread that I started when I first joined and it's got a bunch of Mazda's with different style rims:)

Yeah I'm a big bronze fan so GP for me. :) Although, if you can get the Advanti in gold or silver, I'd vote for that. :) Good luck! :thumbsup

I have those EKM3, and so I know what they look like on a car pretty well.
I love them, but they work better with grey cars, specifically Graphite Mice XD.
So I say go GP, work much better with indigo blue

Disclaimer - I didn't really care for the Advantis, and I couldn't find a decent picture of the exact ones you mentioned, so I didn't bother.
ENKEI EKM3

Hah, I'm totally owe you a beer for that. I'm impressed.
Also yeah, but the TSW's are a little outta my price range lol
I say enkei's, but i have a biased opinion lol
I have a thing against rims with the extra bolt holes, I think it makes them look cheap, not quite sure what it is lol.

my 5
I also love the TSW NURBURGRINGs...I say save up a little bit more for them, it's not much more and you'll be happier in the end. I've got my eye on these tsw's for possibly my 5th set of wheels lol.
