Default deciding on what rims

http://www.thewheelconnection.com/ph...;brandsearch=1


do think these rims would look good on a silver mazda 3 hatch. everyone seems to do the black with chrome lip i want to be a little different. tell me what you think also input on other rims would be helpful. im not into autocross so they don't have to be ultra light

you could always go to www.tirerack.com .....and just find a set of rims that are similar to those you want to buy

i think they should look pretty nice...cuz theres a lot of space in between the spoke, so that way you can show off you stock brakes!! whatever...its all good

and IMO, the lighter the paint on the car, the darker the rims, and vice versa. ie, black rims on a silver car and brushed alluminum on a black car.....but thats just my rule of thumb tho.....
but its your car, so do what you want....dont listen to me

Hmm, I don't know what to tell you dude. I personally am not into the aftermarket wheel thing. Unless i cared about the weight, which well, i don't. So i guess all i can do is reccomend a 6 spoke (solid spokes) in a darkers finish. So basically it's up to you, and tirerack allows you to see the rims against your car. Good luck, let us know/see what'cha get!!

I think that when you look at a car, the first thing you should see is the car, and NOT the wheels. They should compliment the car, and not be the center of attention. The current trend, of big gaudy wheels, is a bit ridiculous.

yea im not really looking for "bling" but maybe a dusted light black or dark grayish with a chrome lip that has like 5 spoke cuz i live on a dirt road and cleaning a 50 spoke wheel isn't possible
