Chrome plated rims for the mazda 6

[allstr921]

The Rims I wanna put on my black mazda6 5-door are in the attachment, they are the Kazera KZ-S Chrome plated. They come 18-7, do I have to worry about rubbing in the wheel well, on tire rack it recommends 225/45?..........what size profile tired should i get with it, would those be good? Thanks for your help

225/35/18 would do ya just fine...Im not sure if you can squeeze a 225/40/18 though(shrug)

if u can, go for it (nana)

225/40 should be fine however I would look into other wheels kazera wheels are heavy as hell I was lookin at some other and they weighed 25lbs a piece and were not even chrome

if you want 18" chromes, chances are you dont do much auto-Xing and dont care how much rims weigh

 

[allstr921]

by auto-Xing, you mean auto racing? And no, I do not plan on racing my car but I dont want to make it too heavy, will 100 lbs shouldnt make much of a difference right?


What do both the numbers stand for in 225/40? Cuz I know there are all different types of sizes. thanks for your help.

um if you notice I said they werent even chrome meaning no I dont want chrome 18's. I was sayin I was looking at kazera wheels and they were damn heavy and not even chrome so you can imagine what their chromes would be

225/40/18

225= read width
40= sidewall height
18= size of wheel it goes on.

and 100 lbs would make a huge diff

This thread is not about you! I was referring to allstr, in that if he wants big chrome rims he probably doesnt care THAT mch about weight, as long as they dont weigh some 30lbs w/o tires

well why did you quote me then. and they probably are close to 30lbs since the simple 5 spokes I was lookin at were 25lbs and were just plain silver

 

[protegeV]

i quoted you so that my post would remina in context...

perhaps i should have used "someone" rather than "you" since i didnt mean YOU...I meant any person in general that wants chrome 18s...

you have something to learn about this forum, just relax and dont take things personally

 

[timba24]

I didnt take thing personally and I dont see how I need to relax you quoted me and I responded and figured you were talking about me since you quoted me thats all

nope, I was talking about allstr...its all good, dun worry bout it

 

[timba24]

Well anyways I would stay clear from kazera the wheels are very heavy if you like that wheel maybe look over at motegi

 

[protegeV]

what style of wheel do you like? In the world of big chrome rims there are LOTS of styles. From thin 5-6 spokes like you posted, to mesh, to ones that seem like a sold disc of chrome with tiny slits in them(lol2)

 

[allstr921]

I'm leaning towards the 8 spoke chrome rims, that have a cool look to them, I like the evenly spread out ones so far, do you guys have any suggestions. I dont want to weigh my car down, I love the acceleration the mazda6 has. Please give me some opinions. what are some websites that i can look at chrome rims at, i already know about tirerack.com. thanks guys

 

[protegeV]

well, the ones i posted are from

www.wheelmax.com

and

www.wheelsnext.com

225/40/18

225= read width
40= sidewall height
18= size of wheel it goes on.

and 100 lbs would make a huge diff

Minor modification

40 = Percentage of first number

so 195/50 and 225/50 don't have the same sidewall height, but instead, respectively, 97.5mm and 112.5mm.

Which is why when you switch sizes, from, say 195/55/whatever, you can (ideally) move to 205/50/(samewhatever) or 215/45/(same whatever).

Etc.

Oww - my eyes hurt from looking at those wheel pix. But whatever floats your boat!

Wheelmax has had conflicting reviews. Good, bad and ugly. Wheen I called, they were clueless (spoke to two people) and uncompetitively priced. I didn't call back.

 

[protegeV]

ive heard mixed reviews about both sites...

ive heard worse about wheelsnext and their timeframes...i.e. they take a LONG time to ship.

Check these out, what do you think in 18's
