Default My Mazda 3 washed up with some new wheels.

Super nice weather this weekend so I decided to work on the car a little bit. Got a whole bunch of other stuff to put on yet but ran out of time yesterday. Here are a few pics:

I like the car, but those wheels do not belong on it IMO

I like Mazda 3's, but GT3's are just so tacky. No matter what the color scheme, GT3's always look like crap. There are so many better choices out there for wheels, that it's hard to look at them positively. So in essence, your wheel choice let you down.

Well I picked these up a while ago for cheap from a friend. The tires are the wrong size for the car but I didn't care, they were purchased with the idea to use them next year as my winter wheels. I tossed them on this weekend for fun and because the salt is not totally off the roads up here yet. Its been a long winter up here and I got sick of the black steelies I have had on them with the winter tires. Here are a couple pics of my true summer wheels that I will be putting back on in a few weeks.





Also, they are Drag wheels, same thing just clarifying...

BTW, thanks for the hate!

It's not the GT3's that kill the car, it's the color.


Everytime I see a car with (RED) GT3's/Drags.... A part of me dies inside.

yeah the wheels totally kill the car. Now with your summer wheels the car looks 100000x better.

The gold one's look very nice.
The GT3's look a size to small.

The tires themselves are a size too small. Need a little taller sidewall to be a stock equivelant but I got the wheels and tires together for cheap. The red ones are 16s and will be used for winter wheels next year (if I drive the 3 in the winter again).

What are those gold wheels?

And, are you going to that Dells meet this summer? I'm tempted to drive out in my MINI.

I will be in the Dells during the meet. I am not sure if I will make the meet though. I'll be up there for the Wisconsin State Dart Tournament so I don't know how much time I will have to goto the meet.
