sorry Maztech, I used them a while ago now but they are similar to the ones on my 323 GT. They are Kumho Ecsta AST's. These are incredibly grippy with huge water channels. Maybe not smooth driving as a directional touring tyre but when you have lotsa geegees & FWD, & it's raining, guess it matters not.

I would only rate the Z1s as interesting. And even those are only 85% what the Kumho KU31s are.

Are the KU31's similar tread pattern as the Ecsta AST's? **** these things grip like a randy Rottweiler on ya leg cause the bitch is in a cage

If you are refering to the KU25s, then they both share a similar silica based rubber compound, which means stupid grip levels with long lasting wear.

What do you mean by interesting

project.r.racing · 15-12-2009, 09:13 PM

as in the rest of there range is not interesting. the Z1 is there only tyres to have done any good in tests etc.

click www.maxxis.com and have a look for yourself.

marcs_sp20 · 15-12-2009, 11:57 PM

whats everyone think of this?

potential look for mid 2010

Plutonus · 16-12-2009, 12:23 AM

I like it, but I think it depends on what you're after. Your current rims give it a more 'stock' clean look. Those rims look more 'modified'.

Hopefully that makes sense

NaughtyGT · 16-12-2009, 08:09 AM

awesome wheels however, think the gold would have to grow on me

RustyKaos · 16-12-2009, 08:17 AM

I still like the CX7 rims better. I do however like the brake upgrade. :P jks

70NYD · 16-12-2009, 12:07 PM

i like it marc, gold and blue is a good combo and that style of rim is amongst my favourite

Rupewrecht · 16-12-2009, 12:18 PM

I think it loses some of it's originality. The CX7s are different, the gold things could be had by anybody.

marcs_sp20 · 16-12-2009, 01:25 PM

Yeah I know what ya mean, im still the only person to put CX7's on a 323

Always like that style of rims, which are KSpeed Vertigo, and can be had for $1400 shipped from Tempe tyres with (****ty) tyres...

Maybe one day

DavoAust · 16-12-2009, 07:07 PM

I'd stay with the CX7s, they definately suit the car.

Anyway, weren't you looking at more 'subtle' modifications?

Brisbane_boy · 16-12-2009, 11:34 PM

depes wat look your going for.
the both look good.
the cx7 rims are smoother / classier
the gold rims more a modded / jap look.

both look good

marcs_sp20 · 17-12-2009, 06:54 PM

can a BJ owner please tell me how big the front Mazda wings badge is on the Grille, as I do not have a stock grille

Got an idea
