Hey Tibimakai, this is Richness (on tapatalk). I use to have a Mazda 6 but rejoined as Signal_CX5 when I got my CX5. I did spot you on the 57. Your ride really stands out. In a good way! (thumb)
The wheel weighs approx. 20lbs ea. in 17" and the tire weighs 39 lbs. for a combined weight of 59lbs.
It's a pound less but added 0.7" overall diameter than my stock 19" set-up.
Thank you! Yours as well!
Went up and down a loose dirt hill yesterday and it handled it like a pro. I need more time and opportunities for off-road testing.
Finally got my wheels and tires on and I'm really happy with the results. The ride is quiet, smooth and stable on the street. I have yet to try them off-road.
Specs:
17x8 Motegi Racing Custom Shop MR224 with matte black centers and gloss smoked lips.
245/65/17 Falken Wildpeak A/T3W All-Terrain
I also bought a set of 245/65/17s Falken A/T3Ws w/ 29.5" overall diameter
I sent an inquiry email to Anderson Design to see if he can make one too. Will let you know.
I haven't ran them yet but I do have a set of 245/65/17 waiting for some wheels to put them on. I let everyone know how they do. I like the semi-aggressive look.
I have these: http://falkentire.com/tires/light-truck-suv-cuv-tires/wildpeak/t3w-tire
Still waiting on wheels to mount them. I have 245/65/17s. 29.5" overall diameter.
From my experience, it directs wind away both partially or entirely open. You will still get air coming in but the wind wont be blowing your hair all over the place.
It's mainly for looks but it is useful to crack open a window when its getting a little stuffy. It's not louder. It directs air away. Keeps rain out. Provides a little bit of shade. The tape should last long term but depending on weather conditions may wear out sooner than later.
Here you can make an informed decision depending on your needs:

I chose the Thule Apex because of reviews. I have yet to install and try it out.
