Just got some in stock and boy these look great. I wish my sales manager would put them on a car but here is a pic.

what do you mean dark chrome?

Looks good, I look those better than the bright chrome.

They are dark and look black when you look at them in different ways.

I think it is like black chrome you see on guitar hardware, but 18 foot rims? Sounds kinda big to me...:D

And these are $662.34 each, right? Hmmmm.....

Yes I know A little high.

probably wouldnt consider a trade plus cash for stocks would you?

Brian,

Are these from Mazda or did you guys have the stock wheels powder coated to the black chrome?

NO these are from Mazda

Cannot take any trades. How about Ebay

Those rims are AWESOME!!! You have got to get those put on an 8 (preferribly Yellow :D ) so that we can see the overall look. Might sell more that way. Especially to me ;)

New price on these wheels $357.50 each Until April 30th

Any chance for visual, tmparts? The price drop is extemely appealing but I'd have to see them on a car first. Has anyone bought them yet that you know of?

I agree that those would look great on the yellow

No one has bought any from me. the price was to much. Mazda reduced the price and I just found out today. I then reduced my price.

I would be interested also but I do want to see them on a car first. I have a yellow 8 and am looking for new and different items to buy that will make my ride stand out even more. Is there any chance of this beeing a possibility.

I don't have a picture of the wheels on a car now, but I can send one to you if I get one.

Thanks,
Barry

Sounds Great, just need to see it once and I'll know for sure. I've seen a mock picture but it was at an akward angle. Very interested in this.

What are the chances of seeing some pics of these rims on an 8? I have a silver 8 and I think those would look so clean on it. I'd like to see what they look like on one though.

edit: Somehow a double post occured. My bad. :(

i think they would look good on almost all the 8s but i would definetly want to see them on a car before purchase

tmparts, i hope you can post some pics soon.

I know these aren't pics of the rims on an actual car, but they give you different angles, etc. Thought I would share with the class :D

I know they are a bit blurry but hey I didn't take them either. here is a slightly different one.

I'd like to see these on blue. I'm just not sure how the chrome would look on a blue.

Barry, do you know how much more the chrome wheels weigh than the regular stock wheels? Thanks.

The chrome wheels actually weigh less than the stock wheels.
(not much though)
Chrome wheel - 21.50 lbs
Stock wheel - 21.70 lbs

So Brian, how much are our current wheels worth in return credit? :D

Wow, that weight is a surprise. Thanks for the info Brian.

Any chance were going to get to seem some pics of the dark chrome on an actual 8?

I am going to try this by the weekend

Ok we are going to do a RED one. Hope this is ok

Fine by me! I was just waiting to see them on one. Finally, the big unvailing is near. Someone can Photochop it to any color any way you go with it.

Hope you like

More Again

And Last One

Thanks a lot for those pics! Looks great! I'll be the first to ask a Photoshop expert to change that color to Winning Blue, pretty please!!

Are those rotary center caps extra, or do they come with the new wheels?

They are extra 116.40 set of four and I am dropping the price on the wheels to 357.50 each until the 30th of April

I'll be ordering soon. My wife actually saw these and said "We NEED those." That is the best thing I have heard in about a month. Need the tire pressure monitors too. Any discounts coming on those or is that asking too much?

So, no return credit on our existing wheels? I was actually half serious with that question, as some shops are actually doing that.

Sorry about that. :(

But do you like them?

I was actually picturing them to be darker.... the first pic you showed they appeard to be darker.

These look just like the regular chrome rims, no?

But do you like them? Oh yeah, I like them. But not enough to drop $1430 + shipping on them right now. Wonder how much I could get out of my stock wheels? Hmmm....

Omicron: use your stock wheels for autox.

Those wheels look great. There's so much I want to order! AHHH!

Omi,
I have an idea:
(Light bulb above head shines!)
Just have your rims dark-plated.
Quite a bit cheaper than selling and re-buying it'd likely take about 48 hours of downtime,mabye 72.....
I don't like chrome,it's a bit too hi-pro for my tastes,if anything I'd
be powder-coating my rims Ti Gray metallic.....and I JUST might do that,leaving some original finish as accents.......hmmmmm.......

here is my Ti with the dark chrome wheels

wow IGOZMZM. never seen a mazdaspeed front bumper without side skirts!

Is that a MS rear as well?

that is the ms rear
and he says the ms sides in his color are on back order

Ok some one asked for a photoshope retouch of the wheels ona blue 8 .. it was to hard to make the red 8 blue . so i used my blue 8 and the pic of the wheel from the red 8 .. here it is..

p.s the chrom fuel dorr is really there it just looks fake.. the contrast is to high.. lame Dig camers.

Looks excellent. I'm liking these wheels more and more.

I'm going to call them Monday,Omi,and see about DARK chrome. :D

I'll post up results.

i want them.. and that is the dark chrom.. it has a hint of black.. if its not under direct light it will look much darker..


I must have up.. but I understand we can also polish the stock wheels to look like this.. but brighter..

I still want the dark Chrom.. and ill use my old rims for Auto Cross

Thanks thew! Nice job. The chrome looks real good on blue. Wish I could afford them, but it's going to have to wait. I may eventually get them and use the stocks for winter only.

aye.. i cant afford them yet either.. but thats ok.. i wont feel to bad about any chips i may get in the stock wheels

I don't get it... they look just like the reg chrome rims to me.....

the picture is not true to life.. they are a dark chrome so if there not in direct light they dont look Bright . they look dark..

if that helps :) 0

Does anyone know if there are any pictures of dark chrome on a black 8?

very nice looking rims

What's the latest price? It's rebate time you know.... :rolleyes:

The wheels are at $357.50 each
take 4 and 20% from mazda and save $286.00 more.
That's $856.00 off retail for 4
They retail for $500.00 each.

OK, lets see:

(4)($357.50)=($1430) Payable to Trussville
Mazda sends me a 20% rebate ($1430)(20%)=($286)
My cost is ($1430)-($286)=($1144)

It would be sweet if Mazda sent me 20% of the $2000 :D

Not a bad deal. I could set my old rims up for winter tires, and use the new ones for some grippy summer rubber. What is your price for the TPMS sensors?? Would they get the discount also?

Can you roll the wheel over to a titanium 8 and let me see what that looks like?

here is my Ti with the dark chrome wheels

Can you post some more photos??? I am really liking the wheels the more I look at them. Thanks

Have you seen this one?

:)

Here is the best pics I have to compare the Dark Chrome with normal Bright chrome.

Can you open a chrome box and a dark chrome box, and snap a photo for me?? :o

So the rebate DOES apply for these? 100% pinky swear sure :)

Hmm....YET ANOTHER OPTION! Sonofa

Can you open a chrome box and a dark chrome box, and snap a photo for me?? :o

Mazda only has the dark chrome now.

:)
I can mount the the tires for $147.00 all four
the sensors are $89.04 each
Shipping will be about $160.00 for all four

I would have to find some special boxes to do this. I have done this before so if you would like to that's fine with us.

The sensors would not be on the rebate(sorry).

Great !!!! thanks for the info and prices.. I will work ot the Tires from Tire rack.. and then have them sent to you. Once I get that part setup i will get back to you.

DO you have to order the Wheels? if so abot how much lead time do you need.?
thanks again.. you guys are the best :)

I've never liked chrome. But dayum this makes me take a step back.
