Yes, MGM. The wheel color is so closely matched to the same color as the car it seems like the wheels are from the Mazda factory. The best thing is...my wife likes it and thats really important when you spend money on your car. he he

Installed the 18inch MB Boost wheels today and they look even better then i thought they would...pic below. As promised i checked the weights: Factory wheel/tire is 48lbs., MB Boost with Kuhmo SPT 225/45/18 is 45.5lbs. So i saved a few pounds...not a lot but still better than stock. :)...

Dont have them yet. Cost was 1000.00 (with Kuhmo SPT) even and i sent them some RX8 TPMS to install which i picked up for 120.00. So i guess i piad 1120.00.

Discount Tire told me they were 22lbs for the 18s, i hope they were not BSing me. I will weigh them (with the 225 Kuhmo SPT) against the stock 18s with Bridgestones and post the results. Hopefully this weekend...

Great idea, i will have to do that. Thanks.;)

+1. Hatchbacks are so much better. GMs 2.0 turbo motor has recieved much praise in the auto press. Rumors suggest it can handle much more power in its stock form. There is a mod for Lotus Exige and Elise to swap the Toyota 1.8 for the GM 2.0 which really gives the Lotus insane power...see...

I ordered them this week (18inch) and hope to get them by this weekend. I will post pics once installed. I think they will look good on my gray MS3. Atleast they will help cover up the awful brake dust. :)

I think the avg drivetrain loss is 13% so your HP number is right on but your torque is about 20 ftlbs above....awesome!!!(thumb)

Re-bleed your brakes...it might not be the pads...

Check your tire pressures and make sure you dont have a tire going down. I dont have any problems with the braking/handling.

I cked the tire pressure and its a few PSI over what the door sill stated which if i remember was 35. Next fillup i will recheck to see if it matches the MPG stated on the meter. Maybe i got lucky or i dont put my foot in it enough. Djthom...no ecu flash done to the GTI...i left it all stock...

The GTI has been good to us and only had to bring it in once for a rattle in the dash and CEL for a airbag sensor. I did complain to VW customer service for the speedo which is way off. When your doing 80mph its actually 72 and it gets worse the higher you go. All GTIs 2006 and up are like...

I have put 600 miles on my new MS3 and would like to give some comparisons to my GTI. Seats...GTI are more comfortable. The MS3 are great and look better but im more comfortable in the GTI seats. I think the main reason i like the GTI seats better is because they have better thigh/leg...

Thats exactly what i was thinking.

Thanks. We used to have a 98 M3 and was at a BMW club event in 99 and saw the M coupe for the first time in person. I was blown away and said when our son goes off to college i am going to get one. So a few years ago i picked one up. Its a garage queen and only has 21k on it. Here are a few...
