Black Coloured Wheels, Anyone?

I Plasti-diped mine and I like the look much better than stock...at least on the pearl white.
 
james_95 - Black wheels look great on the white CX.

How long is the Plasti-dip supposed to last?
 
Not sure, but I've had the car washed a couple times and it still looks like it did the first day I did it. It's so cheap and easy...even if it's once a year it beats speding $$$ on new wheels, unless you can afford it.
 
I've had mine on since July and I wash my car weekly, hadn't had a problem yet. I power wash mine and its fine so far as long as u don't spend a ton of time close up, plasti dip has held up.

Most places from what I have read say it lasts about 6 months usually. Generally you don't want to leave it on for over a year due to becoming harder to remove. (doesn't peel off in one piece)
 
HI there,
I will get my CX-5 in about 2 weeks time. I have ordered a Silver aluminium coloured car with the additional 17 inch antrachite coloured wheels. (57A) I have not seen this combination, infact i have hardly seen any CX-5 with these wheels. Is there somebody outhere who has?

Last week on vacation, I saw a 2014 Mazda 6 Liquid Silver with black rims and all the chrome logos and trim in black. It was SWEET! I wish I could have gotten a picture but I'm hoping on doing the same when I get a CX-5.
 
Stock?

CX_9and6,
Are those the stock CX-9 wheels? They look like 20" and I feel like these have to be because I just had a Mazda parts rep try and sell me the set off a CX--9 so that I could get them powder coated and mounted on my CX-5. Speaking of which, are any of you rolling on 20" with the CX-5? I was wondering how well that fits into the wheel-well. Any rubbing? Does having 20" wheels affect the turning radius any or is there anything else to be concerned with having 20" wheels on a CX-5?
