OkI did that with the front one. They are locked away now and it’s a maul to get one out. Be patient Grasshopper!

Can you post pictures including the car?So finally decided to do the chrome delete and get my wheels powder coated in gloss black . I will post pictures of the whole car once is 100% done. But here are the pizza wheels in gloss black.
I agree...this would be my intention if I go for refinishing the factory wheels, especially since my CX5 is Machine Grey. For comparison, these are the replacement gun metal wheels I am considering...
VMR rims are horrible quality. they crack and break all the time. if you live in an area with bumpy or harsh roads, don't even think about it.
I did more research and did see too many quality issues. I ended up ordering some TSW Sprints in gunmetal... they should be delivered this week. Will post pictures to keep the forum peeps content.
Alright, heres a little update. 70% done
Wheels are done.
Also the chrome delete was done.
Just need to do tints and wrap the side mirror in gloss black and it should be done by next week.
Sorry for the horrible pics.
Edit:
Really wish I could change that chrome emblem in front and get it blacked out.
Love. Love. Love.
Ya it looks really good. Lastly I think I’d paint those matte black plastic trim bits body coloured, but it does kind of go with the rims and the tints and contrast the red paint pretty nicely. Looks really good!
thanks guys, yeah at first i thought about getting the plastic trim colored but i think that'll be too much for my taste and yes i will be getting the front windows tinted to match the back.
Honestly that chrome delete really makes the Gen 2 CX-5 look so much better. I'm still not a fan of the grill or hood overhang, but seriously, looks way better now. Nice job.

I agree, it looks dope.
Personally, I like the overhang because it helps proportion the car better and help mask its FWD roots. Have you seen the Mercedes CLA? You can tell it was their first attempt at a FWD based car. Hideous.
