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.

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?

Could you ? would you ??

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).
