Idk man...I would just leave them alone or replace with a different set.

In reply to maschinenbau :

Yeah... in the light of day, I think I watched the Lauderdale Gymkhana too many times.  Got enamored with the slo-mo views of the wheels with that one spoke on each wheel that had the graphics on it.

Still think it needs a splash of color down low.  Maybe the calipers will do it.

I think it would look cool if the calipers matched the roof color (while keeping the darker wheels). 

I like the idea, maybe just one spoke red?

And maybe you can find vinyl or something removable if you don't like it.

Red tint might be kinda cool as you'd still see the finish through the red giving a neat effect. 

In reply to Robbie (Forum Supporter) :

Yeah, was definitely thinking non-permanent if I decide to go through with it.  I'll look into options for that to see what I can do.
Plastidip?  Maybe, probably too bright

This somehow never made it into this thread.

That time my wheels got berked up by road debris

In reply to Mr_Asa :

Somehow I missed that incident. Glad you got it taken care of! I second the opinion of the silver ones looking better than the black. Same ones that came with mine, stored in the shed since I mounted my Advanti Storms.

I just thought you didn't care.
*snff*

I need to take pictures, but the wheels that were returned to me are painted the factory color.  They do not match the wheels that came with the car.

Then I remembered that I took these pictures a while back and I kinda wondered if someone did a crappy paint job on them:

Doing an oil change and I found two things.  Apparently some FOP in Bradenton hit my car. 

I may be leaking coolant?  Or some other neon green fluid I'm not familiar with that newer Mazda have?

Oh.  AC oil.  That makes sense, I've never had AC for more than 8 months, so why would this car be any different?

There is a TSB for a cracked AC line attached to the compressor. Mazda has done a few revisions the line that cracks. Forums have covered it pretty extensively. It's a pretty easy fix, if that's what your problem is.

Ooo!  Nice.  Thank you.

Doot doot doooo

I needed a road trip.  

So I took one.

I held my breath to avoid STDs

I visited the Orange Shop

I got a little lost.

Then I parked across the river from a big Space Building.

Then, I took a beautiful woman out to dinner. 

That sunset shot is awesome!!
