Find me wheels!

[mndsm]

Ok, because i'm really bored and nothing is going on elsewhere, I am starting another thread. I have an 07 Speed3. Black Mica, 20% tint. I want some kickin all black wheels (or MAYBE some sort of colored lip, red?). I'm having a hard time finding something that doesn't look like ass. Anyone have any suggestions?

[JustROLLIN]

I know its starting to become cliche, but what about the black wheel with the polished lip. There are some pretty cool designs out there.

I thought about that, but i'm not sure that it fits the purpose of the car. Wanting to make it look as mean as humanly possible.... hence the reason for all black. I digs the polished lip and all that, just not sure if it's for this car.

I saw some wheels that fit the colored lip description in either the last Turbo or SCC magazine. I'll see if I can dig them up. They where spendy, but damn nice looking.

[mndsm]

Cool. I appreciate the assistance.

[WhiteSpy9]

I hear that. I really do love a black rim with a chrome lip...... on the right car.

Some suggestions for wheels....

Sign me up for a set of all-black (or gunmetal/anthracite) wheels, minus the polished lip. I always feel like that makes it look like you're rolling on 15s or something...

[mazdamn02]

rx8 wheels.... what size are they again..... lol.

[mndsm]

17's?

[mazdamn02]

i think they're just a little bit bigger..... 18s?

[mndsm]

Yeah, 18's sound right.

I just took a quick look at wheelsnext.com and found these.

Black with a sort of red lip.

Wheels are a very personal choice though.

[mndsm]

See I dig something like those. I don't know, it's too damned difficult to decide.

[dmention7]

That's kind of what I've been thinking about; 5 or 6 split-spokes.... yummy!

[mndsm]

I am thinking that those Tenzo's are FTW. Now If someone would kindly chop them onto a Black Mica Speed3........

Wow, those are kickin too. Damn you all!

Whitespy- Not slighting you at all. Wasn't a fan of the first ones, but the 2nd ones are pimp. I like the polished face and the black sides.

[Slim]

I don't have access to photoshop. But I can picture them in my head and they would be sick on a black MS3 IMHO.

If I didn't get the rims I did, those would have been a close second.

I like these.

[mndsm]

Damn damn damn. I have some cashish coming...... I want to order a set.

[Big Nate]

I want to get the SSW wheels at the top of my last post.

[Blitzkid]

gold or bronze wheels would get my vote. Otherwise hyper black or black with polished lip always looks good as well. How much are you looking to spend?

[dmention7]

Has anyone here ever gone the powdercoating route?

[Blitzkid]

Big Brown, AKA turbotalon1g had a set of evo enkei's powdercoated black and they look absolutly stunning.

[dmention7]

I've actually been contemplating having my stockers powdercoated, since I can't seem to find anything in a solid black or gunmetal color that tickles my fancy. Also, assuming I can a borrow a set of wheels for a week or so, it should be quite a bit cheaper than getting a whole new set of rims, and look just as nice.

yumm.. forged magnesium

[mndsm]

Those are HELLA sexy.

[miata995]

they are also 1,500 each lol...

hows that for a 6k setup just for wheels?!

[Big Nate]

Those do look nice.

[mndsm]

Yeah 6k for wheels? Nothankx. I'll take my 1300 dollars that I have destined for my Ultraleggeras thanks.

I think you should get a set of these!

[mazdamn02]

+1.

[Big Nate]

I wish I could find a set of steelys for my car they are not easy to find for mazdas and in at least 17in for my car.
