Somebody on here tried to pull off some blue lug nuts not too long ago.
Quit giving those people big money for colored lugs!

But otherwise, it looks nice. Except for the stems. I'll stop.

Nice rims, but the lug nuts kill it for me! They look kind of pink..

Thanks all. The lugs are more for extra points on the show circuit this season. I have other mods, but even with stock wheels I took home a couple trophies in the Mazda class.

Weight of these was not a big concern for me. From my research here I believe thay are just slightly heavier than stock, but 2x stronger in durability. That is a big plus for me as I live in pot hole city.

Early morning shot.

I agree and I would have except that I did not want to stretch the tires that I already had purchased. Was going to put them on stock wheels before buying the Works.

That latest pic is definitely the best of them all. I like them a lot actually, and dig the lug nuts.. Just I prefer more of the "flush" look (I think they call it) and have the wheels out more with the center of it in more. Agressive like.

Sorta like this one...

In any case though, as you've been telling me about these for the past 45345234 years... I still think they're an awesome choice and sort of "one of a kind" look, which is awesome. So congrats man. Just wish I could see it on the 20th.

At least I'll see it at the NEPOC spring cleaning meet.

I'm debating on tint myself. One thing I've noticed is that the red/black interior combo really catches peoples eye at the shows. Especially woman and children, they all love it. Not sure I want to "hide" it in a sense. Although I do miss having the privacy. Just a few more touch ups in the engine bay and she'll be complete.

yellow fogs make all the difference on a VR... and if I had a VR, I would leave the orange corners in like you've done...
