[CHICO2003]

[RPI-Speed3]

225/35/20 tires
7.5" by 20" 45 offset motegi rims and not rubbing one bit. the only thing i noticed it seems to brake slower.

 

[Jasonstiller]

20 inch wheels??? Those look fantastic!

 

[MadOzodi]

20s? Holy Hell. Those things must weigh over 30lbs each.

yup, I would be a little more judicious while driving spiritedly. Those rims prob weigh significantly more than stock which will affect acceleration, braking, and cornering. Alot a little more space to stop from high speeds. To offset, I would consider getting a new brake pad with a more abrasive compound. Hawks or Porterfields would work great.

they weight 25# a wheel. stocks are 24#. I've pick up both today there very close in weight.

Those wheels look AMAZINGLY SICK!!! Love it!

*nod* however, with larger rims the weight is moved more towards the outside of the wheel, s the effective weight increase (what you will feel) is a bit more than the 1lb general weight difference. 1lb of unsprung rotational weight ends up being much more in practice.

 

[Ms3Xeoc]

I like those! You got wheel locks on them? lol

 

[dominoy2k1]

damn thats nice looking. i dont really like the mazda3 but that looks really sweet.

Truth!

Also, the tire is more toward the outter most point of the wheel affecting rotational mass the most. Wheels look great anyway!

20"s, thats crazy of course your going to need more room to stop and plus you will have more rubber to cover for speed. Would never go above 19 but hey I have to admit, it does look sick...

 

[Mannxjr]

Sweet Looking shoes!!! Nice work

 

[Equinox]

wow never thought I'd say this but those 20s look nice.

 

[TRUEREDMS3]

Nice... best looking wheels I've seen yet. Heres my question though, can I install the Mazdaspeed coil over kit with these wheels?

What do you guys think?
