My 2010 LSM MS3 :)

[shukes24]

So I jumped the gun and picked up some summer wheels - 18x8.5 Rota SVN in Hyperblack (+48 offset). Sorry in advance if I jinxed us in the midwest with more snow, but I couldn't help it

wow, I didn't think I liked the RE30 look on a car, but the 2010 pulls it off nice!


can you say " d-d-d-drop "?

 

[bigdaddy]

dot really think it needs a drop. It would look nice, but not necessary IMO. On another note, this is the first '10 that i've seen that I actually like. The SVN's are pulled of nicely, and really complement the car, and not make it look so goofy.

 

[mr_mazda329]

Yay. My old wheels look hawt on your car shukes. Glad you like them.

 

[rollazn]

Great choice in color!

Not a fan of the wheels but looks alright on your car!

 

[ms6acton]

i think it looks really good

 

[bluelion]

looks good....and i really like picture #3. i like the reflection of the driver side wheel.

 

[blh_wakeboard]

Damn... I haven't really liked the 10' MS3 but that one... that one is sexy!!! Lookin hella good man!

 

[Captain KRM P5]

those look sharp. where in the midwest are you located?

 

[Remspeed3]

Hyperblack looks great on there! but I do think it needs a nice drop to bring it all together.

 

[hectik1]

Very clean! I like it!

 

[shukes24]

thanks everyone

I really think the SVN and any other split spoke wheel compliment the shape of the 2010s. I wasn't sold on the Hyperblack color but they show really nice on the silver. The stock suspension I think is more than adequate for me and I think having the 18s fill the wells relatively nicely. Not sure I'm willing to take a chance on IL streets with a lowered aftermarket suspension (shrug)

The wheels are quite wide and come within a cardboard thickness to the rubber guard next to the suspension so I may get 3MM spacers just in case - not rubbing or anything but going wider than 225 or 40 series tire is not an option right now.

mr_mazda: thanks again!

captain: i'm in NW 'burbs of IL

 

[Captain KRM P5]

i too am in the northwest burbs of IL. let me know if you want to meet up some time.

 

[Ajburr]

Your pictures are crooked, nice wheels though

 

[Remspeed3]

You could always do something like Eibach Pro Kit Springs, or COBB Springs...the drop on those are about an inch, that would still keep it very practical.....just a suggestion.

roadmagnet just released their 2010 specific spring set for the mazdaspeed3

I doubt any money would be involved if he found someone with a 3HB that wanted to trade.

Car looks good BTW!

 

[Jon MS3]

^true, still seems like a strange idea

 

[nate0123]

I personally prefer the 3HB spoiler to the 2-tiered look of the MS3 spoiler - so I understand where the OP is coming from
