    RAYS Wheels

    Anyone have an opinion about the Rays wheels sold by MazdaSpeed (and **********)? They are shown in the Edmunds review of the red MS3 and in the MazdaSpeed catalog. Very expensive, but they look nice and weigh only 7.7kg. Wise purchase or not?

    It seems there are several options for replacing the stock motor mount: -Cobb inserts -Street Unit -TRZ -CP-E. Can anyone say which is best? I'm not crazy about additional NVH.
