Personally, I am not apposed to the chrome rims. I just think that in the pictures we've seen, the chrome rims look very shiny due to the lighting techniques used by photographers. In a real environtment, the rims would not look as shiny. With certain colors, chrome wouldn't look half bad, such as with dark blues or blacks. This is becuase the car color itself is not bright and noticable such as with a yellow or a red car. With the brighter colors, like yellow, the rims are too extreme because they are just as bright as the rest of the car, while with darker colors, the rims compliment the stylish sleek design. Anyway, I believe that the chrome rims will be an option to the matte ones found on the manual vehicles.

 

Oh man, those pics are making me drool even more. What a great looking car--so perfectly proportioned. Those 16"s don't look too bad. Reminds me of the ones alfa romeo uses.

 

i like the polished looks alot better, but then again it could be the lighting as stated above...even thou i would still take the polished not crome ones

 

here is a pic of the 17" wheels available on the mazda6. what do you think of these?

 

Nice. What is the weight?

 

Wouldn't look right on the 8.

 

I think the wheels are beautiful...but not in chrome. Polished like the M3's would be better.

 

I second that.

 

I like the non chrome wheels best but what do you think of the original concept wheels?

 

weren't those origional concept wheels very similar to those in that pic of the 6??
btw, i LOVE that pic... whoo!! very nice... the finish on those is just perfect for me.
