Based on the rims and colour/shape, I thought this was a Mercedes CLA, lol.

What is this Mazda Alloy Wheel Program you guys are talking about? I've asked a bunch of dealers about the custom alloy wheels as seen in the brochure online and none of them knew what it was. One dealer just said the one shown on the brochure is the same stock GT rims. They are similar but noticeably different. http://imgur.com/Gf531xc

I believe Mazda offered different types of alloy wheels for 2014 models. It's rims made by fast wheels. They had 2014 mazda6 GT rims for $750 and other models too. I uploaded a scanned image of the booklet in the past.

Exactly what bestknightmare said, witch dealers did you go to? The one I work at (Guelph City) has a large stand in the showroom and brochers laying around. Its called the 'Optional Alloy Wheel & Tire Program' and there are 9 rims to choose from (some duplicates just in different finishes) and 13 tires.

looking to lower it 1 in the front, 1.5 in the rear. hella horns (painted white) in the front grill on eitherside of the plate. Corksport exhaust (will be coming out with a sedan version hopefully in Sep. and will not interfere with my rear diffuser). Intake also from Corksport, and going to either paint or wrap the roof black :D.... o and add a couple TM3 stickers here and there :P

Yes that's exactly what I am talking about! Thanks. I asked 3-4 dealers in the nearby Hamilton area when buying the car and none of them could give me an answer. But the top wheel in the pic below is what I was really interested in from the brochure. Too bad the M003 only comes in 17" silver? @2014GTowner would you be able to take more pictures of your wheels? The lighting in the current pics don't really do them justice. I would really like to see them in the light and at different angles. Thanks.

It's just that your black M003 in your pictures look like the CLA rims where it's one piece spoked rims where as the M003 is 5 separate spokes if you can understand what I mean. Poor wording. So more pictures would help show what they truly look like :)

20143GTowner

08-25-2014, 04:13 PM

looking to wrap my roof, not sure to go carbon fiber or gloss black. I'v put both materials over the roof and both look good. Gloss black flows better but im worried it will be to much white/black. Where as carbon breaks it up a little.

so I guess what im saying is, M003 comes in both Silver (the one your picture shows) and black with finished look on the spokes (on my car) they are the exact same rim otherwise

Oh I know what you mean. What I meant was the pictures taken of your car is at an angle where it doesn't show much (too dark). Would like to see a better show case picture that's all. I can picture what it looks like in my head but a real visual would be better.

As for the wrap. I can picture the CF wrap would be real nice if you wrap the side mirrors in CF as well to accent it. I personally don't think it's too much white/black if you went to gloss black. I'm already dead set on the gloss black. My friend is trying to convince me to wrap the hood as well and I told him that's going too far lol...

I think this looks awesome imo

I can't tell if these are CF or matte...

I think no matter what you choose, it will look great.

20143GTowner

08-25-2014, 04:54 PM

it looks like they are at least two different cars, the one at the top dosn't have a sunroof so its the GS and is prob CF. The other two look matte. I don't think i'll wrap the mirrors though, I like how they are black and white like the bottom one

The black flows with the tint and the lip kit and silver kinda flows with the chrome on the front so on his car the rims seem to be just right
