Not my thing but they're rare.

They won't fit a Cosmo, but they will fit a GLC. I should know. I have both.

All's fair in love and war and eBay!

Auction sniping programs aren't as fun as doing it the old-fashioned way, anyhoo. My best "manual" snipe= 1 second left, and my computer's clock was way off from eBay's. "One-thousand one, one-thousand two... PRESS BUTTON NOW!" Too much fun!

hehe, I've had a few of those. eBay really needs to redo their setup so the clock counts down in real time, instead of sitting there hitting refresh every 5 seconds.

Yeah... the only difference being that these rims are genuine Mazda parts whereas the cap is well......... rice.

I used to think they were cool... Now, yeah, they do look pretty non-sports car-ish...

Novelty factor only...
