Help with Rimz

Hey all...Im thinking of gettin rims this summer for my baby (She is Velocity Red). I was thinking of getting Gun Metal Rims...

Anyone have any suggestions/opinions on the Gunmetal rims on the Velocity Red Color?

I also would like to know if anyone knows a good place too look for these rims, and how hard it is to find a rim that is capable of holding that Tire pressure Sensor.

The next thing i need help with is like...size, compatability, best place to get rims and best price.

Any Pictures would be nice........

All help will be very apprecitated...
Thank You,
Racingwhore

www.motegiracing.com has some. The default image in the gallery is chrome or whatever, you have to click the image to see any other color options. Great thing is they also give the weight...

I'm going to go with Gloss Black FF7's, but I saw a couple different gunmetals on there.

From: AL/GA...you pick
you get the canscan tool and you "turn it off", or Jeff (Mazdamaniac) has a thread or DIY somewhere that describes on how to disable it through wiring...the latter requires center console removal...

Check this thread out. You will see plenty of reds and a few with aftermarket wheels.

The TPMS fits the axis hiro wheels. Shop around for hookups, wheelstudio.com had them for 2200 w/ tires back when I got mine.
