which do you guys prefer?

[mikelebz]

the black ones I have now. I am contemplating a different look. The speed6's, the MSP racingharts, or keep the ones I've got now.

 

[MZ3SPORTRUE]

im feeling the speed 6s! there all pretty nice tho! (you should sell me the speed 6s if you do not like them!) (wow)

 

[Tungsten6]

Well, if you care about weight at all both the ms6 and msp wheels are heavy as hell around 23lbs i think

but if you really dont care about weight id get the ms6's

 

[mikelebz]

I did notice that the speed 6s are incredibly heavy, which makes me a little upset, but I may have to go for em...im hating the black ones more and more each day. I feel like they make me look gheto for some reason

 

[Tungsten6]

the msp wheels arent light either though... they weigh around the same 20-23lb mark.

 

[mikelebz]

yeah, I know. I am leaning towards the speed6s or of the three. what do you guys think of RX-8s on my car vs. the speed6s?

Keep in mind that I AM lowered 2 inches in the front 1.5 in back...

Mazdaspeed Racing hart don't look good at all on a Mazda 3, the offset is too high so the wheel look too inside and they are 17", on the other side, the Mazdaspeed 6 wheels look amazing and fit perfectly. If you want to go with the Racing Hart you will have to buy spacers, at least 5 mm.

Mazdaspeed6 but paint them in glossy black.

 

[Tungsten6]

Well, if you care about weight. the rx8s are 2lbs lighter than the ms6's. the best looking mazda wheel for your car i think would be the mx5 wheels.

 

[BradW]

I like mx5 wheels and the speed 6 wheels. I'll say that the rx-8 wheels look good on just about anythingas fas as a Mazda. Sorry I'm agreeing with some of the other guys on. It does kinda sucks when u start with 3 options and end up with more ideas. (attention)

 

[mikelebz]

I like the Mx-5s as well, but don't have a seller. I have a local seller for the speed6 with some bad curbage that I could pick up for 350. I also have a local seller for the Rx-8s selling for 500 (not sure if I can get him down)...both I would have to buy new tires for :-/

the only thing keeping me from the Rx-8s is that they look very similar to the stock wheels.

think I should go for the speed6? also what are other opinions of painting them...I am very iffy on that part. I am planning on painting my stockers black for winter use.

 

[Tungsten6]

get the ms6s then. 350 is a steal.

as for paint, id do a dark grey. your car is tungsten grey right?? same color as mine and i want to get my wheels painted a dark grey like this

 

[mikelebz]

the car is galaxy gray metallic I believe. so you suggest painting them rather than leaving em as-is?

 

[Tungsten6]

well you said they where curbed up pretty bad. i mean if its not really noticeable then no i wouldnt paint them. but if it is i'd paint them dark grey,

If my wheels ever get messed up im probably going to get them painted grey.

 

[mikelebz]

recommend self-paint or professional?

 

[Tungsten6]

Depends. how good are you with a rattle can???

But the MS6's are going to be a b**** to paint because of the amount of spokes.

If you do it yourself though get the Duplicolor wheel paint/Duplicolor wheel clear coat.

 

[mikelebz]

I'm not very experienced. I'll paint my stockers see how I do. If I don't trust myself, I will either leave em or save up for some powdercoat

 

[mikelebz]

the guy with the rx8s just said he'd do 400 for me (trying to get to 350) so for the prices, which do you guys think would be best: the speed6s(with curbage) or the RX8s? could someone photoshop some RX8s onto the car?

 

[ucMP3]

Just for reference, MSP's weigh 21 lbs. I think MS6 wheels weigh ~23-24lbs. The MS6 wheels look the best of those 3, tho. I don't think the MSP wheels would look good, IMO.

RX-8's get my vote.

 

[Tungsten6]

Just Get w.e YOU like. Its YOUR car.

but if you want opinions the rx8 wheels look pretty much identical to the 3 wheels.

 

[HondaEat-R]

Speed6, easily.
