Update: 2 weeks ago I had the Rota's removed and transferred the Nexen tires to the OEM wheels and mounted them. The paint on the Rota's went to hell, so I am doing something about it. 2 weeks from Saturday I am meeting my powdercoater half way to drop off the wheels, and I'll let this picture do the talking :
Yes...that's magnesium blue! After the wheels are finished, I am having a set of 215/40/18 BF Goodrich KDW's installed. I am going slightly smaller on the tire and stretching it a hair so I can slap some 10mm spacers on and get a more flush look. I also have my racing beat dual tips and a 3" straight through turbo Magnaflow muffler getting installed next week. Having the big can removed. I also have a Nextmod spoiler extension sitting with the muffler. Last weekend i installed matching 6k hid fog light kit and did the home depot garage door sealer front lip. I have a few other tricks up my sleeve when I have the spoiler lip painted, and everything will be installed once the wheels are returned!! Keep posted for updates...those who care.

So the original paint on the Rota's went to hell? Or did you paint the Rota's yourself? Just curious cuz I was thinking about getting "Rota Torque" wheels. They're only $750 a set which i thought was reasonable but if the paint is s*** then forget it.
thanks.

Sexy! Subbing for future mods/ pictures.
Alright, I need to start keeping this thread up more. Here is my latest updates:
Thanks to Lara's God-like Photoshop skills, she came up with the following (this is not my car, this is speed3driver's)
I ordered the wheels today along with the following:
-spacers
-hub-rings
-5k hid bulbs for headlights
-4.5k hid kit for fogs
-lamin-x blue foglight overlays
-denso itv22 spark plugs
-carbon fiber mirror covers
-carbon fiber valve stem mazdaspeed caps
-Dr. Colorchip paint fix kit
-chrome turn signal surrounds (will be sanded and painted black like the ones street unit offers)
Basically did a bunch of smaller accent type stuff, things I have been wanting to do for a while. I haven't touched the car since I bought and installed my CX Racing FMIC back in August, and since I sold my blue wheels back in November. The wedding and new house has taken all mah moniez!Q!1!11!!1
Next up, I will be ordering 215-40-18 BFG KDW 2's, going with a bit of a baby stretch (18x8.5 wheels), but nothing extreme. Then will be lowering the car even more, and dialing in everything. When it warms up, it will be getting some paint work done. Repainting both the upper and lower grills black, along with 2-toning the roof, and re-doing my spoiler. It should all be coming together soon!!!
Thanks Lara again for all the photoshop help. In the end, your last one was the wheels I went with

update?
shew, I haven't updated this in a while. In terms of updates, don't have too many, except for in that last photoshop in my previous post, the wheels that I had ordered were on backorder for months, so I cancelled the order and got a different set of wheels.
And now, those wheels will be sold on September 9th, and I will be purchasing a new set of wheels (black) then, and doing a handful of other little things. I will update more then.
