New wheels tomorrow!

[alhope34]

Well, I finally got tired of my stock rims. What I am getting installed tomorrow as for rims is a surprise, I will post pictures. I'm heading to Simply tomorrow for 10am.

I'm just too excited to wait to post!

Anyway, as for tires I'm going with Falken 912's in 235/40R18. At the same time tomorrow I'm getting my calipers painted red and white Mazdaspeed logos put on.

3 of my stock rims were a little bent, one barely bent at all, one a little more bent, and the third bent just enough to feel a very very slight vibration at highway speed. One rim also has a little bit of curb rash. I already sold my stock rims/tires (50% tread left) to a friend and lurking forum member here, but I won't divulge the price as it would drive other MS3 rim wanters bonkers. I'm just really excited to get the new wheels put on tomorrow!

So as I said, I will post pictures tomorrow once I get the install done.

have you already decided on the rims you're getting?
or are you saving that for tomorrow's "unveiling"?

I know what I'm getting. I'm going to make people guess tomorrow, from the pictures I post.


And no James, I don't have any more. But I wish I did, that way I could get more money to pay off my Visa. =)

A lot of the holes, it was either hitting them or hitting on coming traffic and/or risk spinning out. I'd rather hit the pot holes. Yea, you missed the hole, but you just side swiped someone. :chuckle
