I think those are great looking rally type wheels. But it would look funny with Volks on your wheels of the mazda. If you could grind the Volks off of them and maybe spray them semigloss white that would be very cool!

Now, I know volk is a light weight racing wheel, so why would volk/mazda be a funny combo? Light weight wheel plus light weight car = just plain good. Not to mention that the VOLK is not raised lettering its inset so grinding it off would be a real PITA

I think they are cool. Get a set for your car and another set to make end tables with!

Not sure I would rock them on my car or not but I would definitely pick them up if giving the chance and the price was right.

Well, I just sent my friend an email to bid 230.00 dollars on them. If the majority vote is they are ugly I might get luck and win. Wish me luck, sorry guys I have desided that I will put them on my 7. I think they look damn good on the example pic, Those tires and cpracing fender flares ought to look decent together. If nothing else I will have the only set.

Cool. Post pics when you get them on, we're all wondering what it really looks like.

Well, got an update for you all. Pictures of the wheels have been added to the album above. Not of them on the car as of yet but a close up and a shot of the specs on the inside of one of the wheels.
BTW i'm the new owner of the ugly pie dishes. Should have them in about 6 to 8 weeks.
Anyone tell me what size tires I should get for these wheels.

DriveFast7,
Not exactly... if anything, these wheels cool even better than normal wheels. The inner blades create a fan to move the air. Look at all of the sport racers in the 80's and early 90's. a lot of them used a same style race wheel. They call them fans.

lmao my thoughts exactly


ADDED EDIT
im looking at the wheels on the pic in your sig and those little tiny holes in your wheels seem to have a little more restictions then the nice big vent that seens to go all around.
