Hey guys,

People that do vote, please leave a post why you have voted...

I have found a set of 2010 Mazda 3 MPS rims for sale cheap, and wanted to know what peoples thoughts were on them? I myself am on the fence about what I should do, as they are a hot rim :D

This is them (thanks phil for the photoshop):

The CX7's...

I can pick up the MPS rims for $400, and would intend to put the tyres off the CX7's onto the MPS rims and sell the CX7's...

So yeah, opinions please!

Cheers
Marc

I think the MPS rims should look pretty damned good.
Photoshop a pic of them so we can see...

Definateley like the MPS versions. They are the same design as the CX7's but are more skinnier to see into the brakes (if that makes sense?).

yeah most new mazdas are +50 offset, so you'd need at least 5mm spacers?

How wide are they? ideally you'd need to bring them up to +40 it they're 7.5 or +35 if they're 8" wide.

CX7's & MPS rims are 7.5" wide, whereas the RX8's are 8" :confused:

I'll have no dramas again with the MPS rims, same width & offset :D

I say keep the CX-7 rims. The CX-7 rims on your car are unique and different.

Although if you do choose to sell the CX-7 rims, I can find I nice home for then very quickly. :D

edit// Just realized they are 2010 MPs rims. BUY! BUY! BUY! Do they come with the huge brakes like in the pics? :p
editt// Which ever you decide, you have a unique ride. Old or new rims.
