Dude!! You have some serious runs on that wheel(s.) If the rest are like that, I would rethink the painting idea.

dude its a rim it gets abused every day on the rd so it cant stay nice forever, material things dont matter the car still puts out on the street and runs strong....i was focusing on the fact that theres drilled and slotted rotors on that pic rims, eh who cares about umm
 
If "material things" don't matter, why are you showing off your rotors?

You do know that drilled rotors are not good right? You run a risk of cracking between the holes. Slotted only is better than drilled and slotted and blanks are actually better. I seriously doubt you need the "cooling" or drilled/slotted rotors on the street.

I agree completely with bbrich57, I would consider re-painting the wheels.
 
Well, I posted pictures of my Mazda 3s MANY MONTHS AGO and I guess I made changes to my Photo Bucket link.

Here are some new pics of my 2008 Mazda 3s Grand Touring Hatchback with a lil over 28k miles on it.

Dude... Nice work! That thing doesn't look a mile over 1K, much less 28K!
 
my new 09 SP25 (GT in the states?) was sad to see my 08 go tho.. ;( (looked identical to SRH's above except on eibach/koni's)

Nice ride Vaku. I still wish to add a few things to my '08. I need to get a flash done to mine. I also need to find some very strong brake pads so I could take mine out for road racing. I also wish to get a Borla cat back exhaust. I wish to keep "MY MAZDA" from sounding like a ricer. No offense to anyone. I can't stand those nasty sounding Hondas out there. (yupnope) (drive2) (help) I've had 2 Infiniti G35 Sedan and love the deep sounding exhaust those 3.5L V6s had. Not to mention the power they put out.

I have to hold back on my money since a very good friend of mine is about to build his own body shop with very strong and powerful clients. That is where I will be able to have by own professional detail shop.
 
I'll play a bit. Some shots from EECMM this year..

I have been looking at some different Drag rims online and the gold rim's photos look like a wierd gold. Did you do anything to the color of your rims?

Im guessing it just the photos online but just making sure.
 
I didn't do anything extra to the color of the wheels. They are kinda lightish gold kinda a hint of tan too but I like the way they look.
 
Alright thanks for the info. Yeah I cant decide if i want to go with gold or a darker color like a charcoal for gunmetal. Im looking at either the drag dr - 34 or something like that. ahhhh soo many choicesss. (bang)

I'll probably have different wheels at some point this year. Just need a change. Don't know if I'll get rid of the drags but I'll have something different on the car.
 
you keeping the gold look?

How do you like those tires for ride and handling?


And if you are thinking about selling the rims and tires or one of the two, let me know, ill be interested.
