Difference Between Regular Strakes & Howard's Strakes...
Put these on a few days ago. The strakes & the front rotary accent. Here is the difference between the standard Mazda strakes & Howard's polished strakes. One is like the regular aluminum of a standard rim, and the other is like chrome.
Here is a picture of the front rotary accent. Not quite as noticable from the picture, but up close it is quite a bit different.

About 73 pounds for just the strakes = $135. For both the front rotary crest & strakes it is $207. The british pound has made a big run up recently vs. the american $.
Not bad considering just the aluminum strakes are almost $200 by themselves over at Rosenthal.

Nice set-up fanman! I'd love to get strakes but I'm looking for some to match the gold accents I have on my 8. I wouldn't mind continuing that to the rotary accents as well.
So far the only choice I've found is to have them fabricated.
