Kazera Rims

[ZoomVT]

Hey guys, its me again.
i am thinking on gettng one of these wheels for my 3s sedan Titanium Gray.
what do you guys think? which one do you like better.
i have to say that so far im leaning towards the Black ones but i would like to know what everyone thinks.

[tsunami]

like the black, don't like the spokes all the way to the outside of the rim look on the second ones...

[tsunami]

in burlington eh.... you stop by the magic hat brewery often??? god i love goin there... good beers, free beer, and i always come home with a bunch of beer.... (drinks)

[capnsavem]

yeah the ones with the polished lip are hawt

[ZoomVT]

cool yeah thanks for the quick reply.

Yeam in burlington, i live maybe a mile from the magic hat brewery. I love their beer.

I am leaning towards the black ones too.

[Monkey_3]

I fellow local 3 owner here just ordered the ones with the polished lip for his black sedan. I think they look pretty hot.

[ZoomVT]

thanks guys for the replies. i ordered them yesterday but they are in back order, so i wont get them until the 20th. oh well.
Monkey _3, if i had black i think i would look into going bronze or gold. i think the black/gold combo is hot.

I agree (thumb)

[ZoomVT]

thats right Mario your wheel are hot dude. did you smoke the tailights yets? i think you should

[mario8402]

nha, i think ill leave them alone.. dont want to get too crazy the smoked tails and overlays upfront.. I did however black out my badges (burnout)

[ZoomVT]

nice! i was thinking about that. Since im getting the black wheels i thought about keeping the titanium gray/black combo. so i think i will try to smoke the taillights and black out the badges. do you have picture of the badges? i want to see how they look.

[Pretzellogic]

like the black, don't like the spokes all the way to the outside of the rim look on the second ones...
Ditto. Always hated the look pf a rim with no lip.

Must go to the Magic Hat brewery one of these days. I have yet to find one of their beers that I didn't like.

[CasopoliS]

Black ones... but never heard of em.

[pro00]

Beautiful. Those KZ-As are definitly the choice. I want a set very badly myself.

Did you step up to the 18s? And which shade of the 3 available KZ-As do you think would go best with my Red 3 Sedan.

Back to you though, awesome choice. Congrats.

[pro00]

no, actually those sizes are the 17's. They look huge for some reason.

I actually wanted silver, but it only came in a shade of gray, so I went with that.

for a red car, either silver or black IMO will look good.
they KZA's are very nice IMO. They were my second choice if the KZB didn't work

[ZoomVT]

Thanks bro. I had ordered the 17" but they were backordered so i called them today and changed my order i went with the 18" and got the Kumho ASX 225/40/18 tires. Im pumped.
Someone recommended the AVON and i looked them up and they look f-ing sweet, but i was just overextending myself with the price, so i think i got good value with the Kumhos
I was also thinking about getting the H&R springs but i read here somewhere that the ride was a bit sloppy after the drop. what do you guys think?

pro00: dude those wheels are hot, i just liked the black/gray combo a bit better.

Mace: Yeah dude i cant blame you, are you going with the 18s?
Damn is a tough choice i think the blacks would look good on your ride as well, but maybe the aluminum will look a bit better.

[mountjonas]

what's the offset on the kz-a's?

[ZoomVT]

+48mm

[Mace Windu]

Damn Zoom, that is the exact setup I was planning on ordering in a few months. Great choice IMO.

This probably won't be till christmas, but I am planning on the 18s. I'm not sure if I want to drop it yet. But it's a relativly cheap way to give the car something extra. The KZAs are awesome, I love them. It's a coin flip for the color though cause the black is really nice, and the silver looks hot as well.

Tirerack has a pic of the silver on a red hatch here.

I wish they had the black ones with pics as well.

Has anyone seen the black KZAs on a 3? what color was the 3?

[ZoomVT]

yeah they have them, they actually have my exact car (titanium gray, sedan) and the blacks look hot.
Are you worried the ride is gonna be stiffer with the 18" wheels? How about performance, i read a bunch of people say that performance takes a hit with the bigger wheels. Im concerned about that.

[Mace Windu]

Any link available? I'd love to see the pics of the blacks on a 3.

[ZoomVT]

the links die every few minutes so you can just find the wheel and then click the link to put it in the car, instead of chossing your car, select a 3s 4 door and it will show you the titanium gray sedan.

[Mace Windu]

Yeah, I know about that option. The picture I linked to is a full size real world picture of the rims on the car, not the photoshop type job they do in that area. Although it is a great feature.

[Lord_Nycon]

Go with the Kezera KZ-A 18X7.5 rims (Black w/ silver lip). They're the ones i'm getting for mine, 4-door titanium gray. I may be partial though.

[ZoomVT]

totally dude, thats the exact car i got, except i dont have the spoiler and i put a sweet Thule rack. In any case thats exactly the wheels im getting, they should be here by nest friday, they are low in stock and the ship is just getting here from Hong Kong on tuesday i think.
Are you going to lower it as well? i think im gonna go with he Canuck motorsport springs.
