I seen it too on ebay.. Seems like alot of shipping and stuff.. not to comfortable going that route.. .. but yea naples does have some unbelieveable cars. I mean tons of money here.. Bentleys ferrai's, porches up the a$$ lambo's once in a while.. U name it i think i have seen it all here.. I just think i wanna put after market wheels on. Is hard to find something unless u see someone else have it on theres. Do you drive your mazda down???

Check around for the factory chromes. My local dealer has them for just $795 for the set, which might be worth it considering you'd get them right away and wont have to be without wheels for any period of time.

Yea beers,,, Drop me one... Let me knwo what ur drivin Ill look around for you!!

I have called a few places and no one does it or knows of anyone who does it.. And if i could find a set for 795.00 i would buy em in a heart beat. I think the dealership down here are 500 a peice.. Does anyone know if at the dealership they are nogotiable in there prices???

What about polishing your stock rims yourself, as was detailed in a DIY?

Not as fancy as chrome rims, but powerful cheap!

go talk with Dave at Liberty 1 in Naples he can help you out with finding someone local to do it. I go to Naples alot too.

What part of Naples are you in? I lived there growing up, and moved to Orlando in 96.

yea,
i think just some side by side second gear pulls would be enough.

I could do that too, if you pulled enough I would have to have it done too.
