What have you done to your CX-5 today?

[Anchorman]

Just got my new 2018 CX5 GT, traded in my 2014 GT. My 2014 GT had the 2016 rims on it. Today was my second full day of owning the car and the dealer was able to swap the rims for me today and detail the car.

It*s just that little bit of diamond cutting that highlights the outside diameter of the wheel that makes all the difference it*s the reason I had my pizza wheels powder coated smoked silver.

Agree. Your wheels are what they should have done.

It's not the diamond cutting itself, it's the WAY they used it. They needed a wheel design wherein the cut could have been used around the perimeter to better define the circumference of the rim, not just make cookie cutter triangles. IMO, diamond cutting usually is the only thing that can save an all-black wheel from being lost in the wheel well. Not this time. I am always amazed at how much trouble Mazda has getting wheel choice even close to right. They should take lessons from other Asian manufacturers who have much better success in this area.

Hi all figured I'd stop lurking and post! We picked up our white 2018 CX-5 Touring in January and simply loved it. Only things done so far are the cargo cover black plates (zoom-zoom plate holder for rear) and 3d Maxpider mats for the floors.

Cleaned wheels with Mothers wheel cleaner. It did a good job, washed it down very well. Still heard a few thunks this morning from braking etc. Will keep an eye out for it.

I wonder if this color shows scratches easily. Close to being a black color.

I like it!!

Installed blue trim ring and red push button beautifiers. Replaced the aluminum radio trim, with the plastic one(molds and holds better, then the metal one) and also painted black, the bottom horizontal part of it.

Be sure to post pics. I was thinking of getting red trim ring for push start.

Nice, just like my 7 day old baby.

Where does one find all these? I haven't updated mine with anything since I bought it...

Yea, they should go ahead and include those on the 2.5T model.
