Hey everyone,

New member here. Im from Vancouver, Canada. HUGE Mazda fan. Currently I own a 2014 Mazda CX5 GT w/Tech Pacakge and a 2007 Mazda 3 GT. Both are White.

Recently I dipped my wheels on my CX5.

Curious to know how they compare in handling to each other? Love the white.

The 3 handles better and is faster/more fun to drive. Not knocking my CX5, its definitely an amazing SUV...but it is still an SUV.

Looks good. I thought about Plastidipping mine black, but I've decided to get them powder coated. I should have them done by next month.

I'm very interested in your results with that. Will you be going with matte or glossy finish?

You should consider just doing the Plasti Dip. Its not permanent and does zero damage to your rims. It actually protects them.

On the other hand, the powder coat will be more durable and factory looking. imo Plastidip is what you find all over teens first car and beat up cars that also have hubcaps. All you really have to do is consider most plastidip applications you have seen in real life and did you rally think dang that looks good. Opinion aside, for the most part your powder coat will hold it's finish where as the plastidip will have to be reapplied.

I'm going with the matte black and I'll definitely post pics as soon as they're done. I may have them go ahead and do my calipers another color while they're there.
