Gunmetal MS6 rims on my MS3

[BlackMICA]

Purchased a set of MS6 rims from bdubs16 for a great price, thanks. They needed a little TLC so I decided to get them powdercoated gunmetal. Got them on today but I didn't have time for a full shoot. But I just had to share, so here are a few grab shots I nabbed. Personally, I think it looks pretty freakin sweet. But then again, after seeing these rims on Unoriginalusername's car I knew I had to have it.

fkin SICK I LOVE EM!!!

[mrjoshyman]

very nice wheels, i personally am i big fan of the gunmetal ms6 wheels.

how do they compare in terms of weight to the stock ms3 wheels?

on another note, the car would look great with tinted side signals/reflectors & possibly smoked tails & some fog overlays...

[tiagotiago]

Those are very nice wheels. Congrats!!

[Moxhair]

The ms6 wheels are what the ms3 should of come with stock.

i totally fuckin agree!


Bro you are SOOOOO lucky to have that! I have my stock ms3 wheels professionally painted gunmetal but DAMN I have wanted ms6 wheels, they look awesome on the car!

[CWPspeed3]

That does look sweet, I'm also interested in the weight differences between the ms3 and ms6 wheels.

They don't feel a heavier or anything. They're the same size as the MS3 rims. I don't know if there's actually any weight difference though.

Yea, I was thinkin about painting my stockers as well but a good deal came along with these MS6 rims and I just had to jump on it.

[TurboDreams]

[CoolWhip]

Damn I love MS6 rims, I want to paint them gold/bronze and slap them on my car

Nice angles btw. Good pics

wow, I never really liked those rims on the MS6, but they really do look hot on your MS3...very nice pics as well!

[john blutarski]

I love those rims. They look f'n perfect on your car.

[mrjoshyman]

they look amazing, but would look even better w/ some springs...

[oaklandopen]

[CWPspeed3]

Those studio pictures are awesome, looks very sharp.

[hectik1]

Looks real good. I really want to trade an MS6 owner for wheels....I have no money for wheels.(rant)

[marashka]

(10) looks absolutely amazing.

[Diehonda]

Scwheet!

[BlackMICA]

Yea, that's probably the next step but these rims were a bit more expensive than I initially calculated it out to be so I don't have the fundage.

[flipstylex]

<-----------droools

[BlackMICA]

Did a quick composite using one of the shots.

[bnoon]

Oooooo, a pro pix taker! Wish I lived close by to take some sweet pics of my rides...

<==== Jealous

The rims look nice, but damn the stock wheels are heavy as a mofo for 18" rims... I just don't think I could do it.

[djthom]

that looks sooo good!

[dkswim]

looks good

[PureDrive]

Wow, I like them a good deal better than I like them on the MS6. They look really good on the MS3.

[lestat13]

Sick!!!!!

[dandydaniel]

As I said over on ************, your car and pictures look nice. but I like what others mentioned with your car i.e. tinted side reflectors and lamin-x fog overlays. but SERIOUSLY, the ms3 should have came with the ms6 wheels. coddamnit

WTF, No Pics

[BlackMICA]

Sorry guys, I was organizing my photobucket and broke some links. Fixed.

[MrJon]

Has anyone with a Metro Gray Mica done something similar to this? I am really thinking about doing it.

thoughts? pics? advice?

world.

[mazdaspeedster3]

I knew that combo would look awesome. I have been on a mission to work this out with a buddy of mine. I painted my rims so he doesnt want them but I have the hook up for clean MS3 rims and we are trading. I am having them powdercoated black though first.

Very nice looking car man!

Much thanks.

[ElSpeedDiablo]

Powdercoating around here runs at least $300 for four wheels if you happen upon a deal. Most places can run $400 or more. That's why if I powdercoat my wheels, I'm doing it while visiting family out of state.

Hmmm.that's not as cheap as I thought it would be. Have you gotten any quotes around here, I tried google for some local places, but found nothing.

[Kain]

No, I made those numbers up in my head.

[mysleeper6]

I sense sarcasm.

[Wehrmacht]

Thinking of buying a set for 700... w/ decent tire life left. No curb rash. Must revive this thread for a beautiful setup.

[Speedkid]

Those speed 6 rims are nice.

[iheartmyhatchie]

I just picked up my ms6 wheels yesterday... I still need to switch tires from my ms3 wheels...
