I have goldish/bronze rims on my car. I had the OEM rims sandblasted, and powdercoated. If you search there are a couple threads on powdercoating if you want to go that route.

I got mine put on last weekend at Wheels Direct (http://www.wheels-direct.com/) just because the shop is closer to me at sheppard and mccowan.. the pics can be seen here (http://torontomazda3.com/forum/read.php?TID=3701&page=4).. if you want to call for a quote call them up at 416-754-0997 and ask for Cornel.. he\'s the guy I dealt with.. he may remember me.. tell him my name is Dave and I went in there last saturday morning with a friend with 2 mazda 3\'s.. he\'ll probably remember the latter part..

I had no problems at wheels direct (yet) but some ppl have had bad experiences.. I guess it\'s a hit or miss type of thing.. I paid $600 for 4 tires and rims with install.. they\'re 16\"..

tires23 is in mississauga.. check out their homepage (http://www.tires23.com/)..

and if you call them be sure to mention that you are from the toronto mazda 3 forums for discounts..

Hi I am going to go to tires 23 however I am not sure which set of rims tires i should get ? What is good enough, I don\'t need anything fancy. I think I called and got 750 for tires / rims taxes in for the most \"popular\"

any other suggestions ?

You need to give more info. What size are your stock rims? Use the search feature it could be your best friend.;)
