what size/offest are you looking for?

Hey asshole im going to do the black w/ polished lip ...........

lol, yeah but you dont drive a silver wagon (i think the black w/ polished lip has been overdone on silver cars). i saw you drivin the other day, i was gonna flip the bird out my window but didnt get my window down fast enough.

400 for stockies w/o tires, no thanks. i know you can get that on mazdas247.com (http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/index.php?) though. and post a link to this site while your at it lol.

idk bout offset. deep dish would be preferred, but i dont know how deep i can go. i dont wanna go any bigger than 18s, since i plan a drop around the same time.

price range around $1k w/ tires (more than likely used at such a low price).

im just not sure what kind of style i like. i like the VIP style more than the ricer style, but i dont think there are many types of wheels that would look bad on my car. just wanted to know if any of you might have anything in mind.

[Twinky]

i take back my previous statement, i kinda like some of these in black w/ machined lip.

Avarus AV5 (BMF w/ polished lip, but i kinda like it) $302/ea, 18" w/ +40 offset

Excel BK7 has my vote.
A.Z.A. Z-01 next, but i HATE, HATE, HATE rivet wheels. ghetto shit.

[Twinky]

i agree about the BK7s, but im kinda leanin toward the Modas. im not done looking yet though.

i like these too, and theyre exactly $1085.47 shipped w/ tires mounted and balanced from tirerack.com.

anyone know of a good website to shop for wheels at? i googled and all i get are the crappy chrome "WE SELL 26"S!!!!!!!" websites, and i dont care about a free bucket of fried chicken w/ every order.

edit: and i have about a month before i can get these wheels, so im not in much of a hurry. if any of you happen across a set of wheels and say, "gee golly, those would look pretty skippy on a station wagon of small stature," just lmk :thumbsup:

[garage_fresh]

tirerack.com has great delas and awsome quality. Go with the ASA's

i think i might. ive never heard anything about ASA's, but i think its safe to trust you.

:hyper: "look at my cornrows!!!!"

[garage_fresh]

Also check out tirerack for a brand Kosei

[Pushrod346]

Avarus AR1 getes my vote.

The black or the machined. I can't stand rivets either, but those rivets appear to be black, and therefore mildly acceptable.

The only way I'd own "riveted" wheels is if they were actually bolts and holding together a true 3-piece forged roller. :D

[Twinky]

nah, they look like cheap hubcaps. i like his jdm tails though.

[silvrbreez]

I can vouch for ASA's. I'm running them on my Altima and they just complete the car. Those Moda's look good to, never seen a set like that on a car personally either. I think machined face vs. chrome would look better on silver IMHO.

[jeremys14]

don't go chrome.

[Twinky]

don't go chrome.

youre right. my car isnt VIP enough, and im not black enough. plus, i dont like the look of chrome on my car anymore. thats kinda the main reason i want new wheels, otherwise i wouldnt spend the money on this car.

im gonna go w/ either the machined ASA's
http://www.tirerack.com/images/wheels/asa/swap/asa_ar2_anth_ci3_l.jpg

or Moda's

[Twinky]

alright guys. the time draws near. here are the updated choices i have in mind. btw, i decided to go w/ 17s since the coilovers will cause a problem with 18s rubbing.

and a potential maybe
ASA AR1

[Twinky]

im also reconsidering a black or gunmetal finish since i now have the carbon fiber hood. i just think silver would look better.

[JustaSloWgn]
