The fog overlays I could see and I even suggested it. DO NOT paint anything on the car, it will just start looking like a PepBoys Limited Edition.

Well nobody asked for my opinion, but I personally think it's ugly...I've found that most of the guys you see at trackdays and autocrosses rocking that sort of look are only doing so because they got some killer closeout sort of deal on ugly wheels that nobody else wanted, and they don't care what their track/autocross wheels look like. (dunno) (lol2)
And Cosmic Blue with orange?? It just kind of reminds me of some ill-chosen school colors...
Oh well. To each his own. All that really matters is that the owner likes it, I guess

After seeing all these replies I can't wait to get my wheels back from the powdercoater.

I almost felt the same way but they're just wheels. It is certainly going to upset some people.
those orange wheels dont look bad. Its different. Like the mint green volks on that one guy's car a while back. Looks different and unique.
As long as it's not pink it wont look gay as s***. So I say rock on brother, for being unique with the orange wheels.

I'm with you, but *I* have a penchant for taking something nice and making it something much less so. I have yet to learn the art of leaving things alone.

lets say i want to do this to my ms3 would i have to do the same
No offense intended, tiger, but I think I am missing your point?
Is that a good thing, bad thing or indifferent thing?
No, your car is a one off. It was specifically designed by Mazda for those exact wheels. Go for it!

The MZ3 and MS3 uses the same suspension except the rear endlinks... I know cause I have both.
17x9 +45, WIDE 245/40 with 5mm spacers in front.
bbrich - it's just... weak. They can't afford the real thing so they replicate it. Not to knock on Rotas. It's just the same concept when you say you have Volks but they are Rotas or Drags.

Depending on what car you're looking at BBS LM are tired/played out wheels. You may have broke out of the trend that a lot of MS3 guys are in, but overall BBS LM are in the end tired/played out wheels too. Not "hating" either, it's just the truth. I bought, eeek gad yes, Tenzo DC-5 before even seeing/looking on the forums to see what others have because I liked them. I actually like the BBS LM too, almost bought a set for my last car but someone on the forums had them already, so I went a different route.
Kudos for being different though, it is clean.
