Thanks man, will do. I'll be getting it by Friday or early next week at the latest. It's gone for certification today then body shop by tmrw or Wednesday. Then to my mechanic buddy at Dufferin Mazda to do a full inspection then back to the dealer by Friday for the HID and nav install.

Off topic question, but does anyone...
A. Live in Georgia?
and
B. Do car audio install?

I have some work and would rather help a fellow Mazda cat out than pay someone else... it might help me learn a bit too. It's just a sub/amp and LOC install.

i like the blacked out mz3 man, its so clean

 

[tigermack]

I wanna sell my Kosei's.

 

[bbrich57]

Awwww, Mack!! Where were you when I was looking for a used set 'bout 2-2-1/2 yrs ago? Are they +50's?
I LOVE my Kosei's. Sure, they're not flashy and most don't even seem to know what they are even though they've been around for a while. But they have a unique finish, are extremely lightweight. And because of the finish and color, they hide brake dust extremely well.

Thats true you dont' see them too often. They're not too cosmetically appealing but I always see them on really FAST cars. Must be a good thing.

How much you want to get for them

 

[bbrich57]

Please remember that I am originally from Pa, and you two guys may want to think twice about these on Pa roads.
If your roads are anything like they were on the central-northeast side of the state where I'm from, Kosei's will bend and bend and bend. Potholes and really rough roads will eat them for breakfast.
That's the trade-off for a lightweight <14lb shot-peened "cast" wheel.

Think of really heavy aluminum foil, shaped like wheels.

 

[imadad89]

It's the truth! Worst roads in the country! (rockon)

 

[tigermack]

Mine are 17x9 +45. I didn't have my Kosei until late last year or something.

I want $700+shipping.

 

[bbrich57]

Yes, I remember when you got them. I was only kidding.....

These would probably be great as a set of race wheels w/big fat tires.

I'll bet they still weigh in at less than 20lbs, even as 9 inch.

 

[tigermack]

What? They Kosei... they weigh 16 lbs.

 

[bbrich57]

In the 9" maybe. In my 7"er's they only weigh +/-14 lbs.

 

[05maz3subd]

pa roads do suck, theres a guy in the volkwagen audi porche meet im in that so low that he scrapes his frame on the main streets haha, lucky oil pan sits higher then the sub frame

[05maz3subd]

wow that looks mean 5 stars

 

[sunrun176]

+1!

Halo, makes it look like you have a dent in your fender/bumper area by the headlight. Probably just reflection and glare, but it looks dented and then scrapped below it.
