MAZDA 3's Only no speeds looks are different!
w/e even speed3s lol

P.S: another option is keeping my rx8 wheels and painting them! give opions please!
thanks,

Franco

paint ur rx8 wheels, or even powdercoat them, that would be better

and i would say 17's because 18's are expensive, heavy, tires are expensive but they give you that slammed look
so 17's= more performance
18's= more looks

18"'s before the drop




stock tires after the drop



Didn't have rubbing even with the rims and the drop.
Plus the system in the back dropped it more and still plenty of clearance.

how is the handling with the drop..I hate that boxy look and feel to it when i see them riding around like a bull riding contest.
