New wheels(pics inside)

Just got these on Saturday, and went for a small photoshoot. They're Autobahn 15x7 +10 offset with Falken Ziex-512 195/50/15 tires all around. Credit for the photos goes to my buddy Jameson Dahn. Let me know what you think. Enjoy .









FYI, I polished them by hand

So OK TT, how much for the wheels and tires, tax, delivery and installation? Might want to do that myself!

And yeah some conventional views, in your driveway, without the light just right by a professional photographer, would help with perspective. Are they chrome?

Very nice, I want some.

IMO, 205's would look better (esp on the rear) but those wheels are gorgeous!

All together around $900 Ray. Haha ok, I'll see what I can do. No they aren't chrome, polished aluminum I did myself .

Thanks man, I honestly wanted 205's too. I heard there might be some rubbing problems though because of my offset. I'll get them in 205 once I get coilovers

The 84-85 GSL-SE models were 4X114.3, all other years and trim models were 4X110 because Mazda just had to be different and just couldn't leave it at the engine.

Yes it does, coilovers are next on my list . Only the GSL-SE was 4x114.3, the other models got the 4x110 pattern.

Get/make a small spacer for the rear then run 205's. They'll fill out the fender better with spacers I'd say. You gotta go for that 'hella-flush' look

Haha, I'll worry about that when these tires are done and I have coilovers. I'm happy for right now
