Any Velocity Red with Mazda smoke chrome wheels pics??
I am real close to ordering the chrome wheels since they are doing this 20% off thing, I do hope it is for real. Anyone got any pics on a red 8?

I'll do my own pics then
Since no one could post a pic, I'll do it myself. Of course it will look better when they are mounted :D But first they needed a few coats of Zaino.

hadnt seen you post before. i like those rims. here's an older pic of the wheel by itself. havent seen any on a car myself. the special edition 8 in black cherry has those stock i believe.
you guys remember the poster who said he had new titanium wheels from mazda? he never did post back what he actually had. too embarrassed i think from getting way ripped off on the price

Those look sweet!
Be sure to post more pics when they are on the car.
I ordered some SSR Professor's in "Super Black Coat". I expect them to give a similar look.

Zaino is not a wax, not abrasive, acidic or alkaline(?) so I don't see that it will hurt anything. They sure do look mirror like after the zaino.
Melrx8, how much for the center caps?

Okay I'm back! Retail is $150.00, bought them from Rosenthal at $116.40, less Mazda Rebate my cost was $93.00. I'll sell them for $73.00. Reason I'm selling is because I bought them for my Dark Chromes (already had them on my OEMs) with the idea of using the OEMs for snow wheels. Another $353.28 for sensors change my mind.
When my order arrived the centers were missing so my dealer install the chrome using my centers from the OEMs. Called Tommy, he found his error, reshipped, and in the meantime I sold the OEM wheels to another club member for autox.

Hi RotorGeek,
I happen to know the man that knows the man who actually really is the man but won't tell anyone.
Basically it means the best service dept mgr that Mazda has ever seen
Now that is called 'brown nosing"!!

Best pic
Here is a better shot of my 8 with the dark chrome wheels. Sky was very overcast so pic is not real bright. I did post this earlier under pics of my velocit red pics in the lounge.
Love the background, makes it look like it should be in the brochure :D

Sea Ray, Its been a long time and the car is looking great!! The addition of the wheels is good stuff!! I'll need to post pics of my own now that I've made some more improvements. Have your winterized the boat yet? Took mine in last week for detailing and storage. Had a couple "incidents" with it this summer so It'll be interesting to see the bill next spring.

Thanks Anthony, I do like the new look. With the rebate it was easier to get the WAF. For those of you not married, it means "wife acceptance factor." And you don't want to mess around with that :D
Heading down this weekend for the final trip. Oil is changed, boat is cleaned out, except for a few bottles of booze, then I will pickle the engines until next year. Hope your damage is not too expensive.
Next year we do need to try a lake trip/get together. Or better yet go a little further south to the Dragon. I am hooked now.
