new wheels for me - Mazda 6 Forums : Mazda 6 / Mazda Atenza Forum

Strobed6 · 03-19-2005, 10:36 AM

I finally got my new wheels on.It may be a bit early here but I couldn't wait any longer.They are 17 x 7 +40 offset.I drove around last night and had no problems.
I don't think I will be able to lower the car.Fender rolling might help.I have the stock tires for now.Until they wear out.

What the fuck is that sitting at the front edge of your hood? Oh no.

Hombredecoot18 · 03-19-2005, 05:08 PM

hmm.....nice wheels....fugly bug deflector....lol

Those are some hideous deflectors, I'm sorry. They just ruin the lines.

eastside6 · 03-19-2005, 06:39 PM

the wheels are decent enough looking, but u gotta lose the bug deflector, it really has no purpose cause u still gotta clean it

MZBuckeye · 03-19-2005, 08:13 PM

I didn't even know such deflectors were even available for this car. So yeah, get rid of that thing, but the rims look real good.

No deflector, no moustache, you're all set.

Love the car and wheels but the painted reflectors have to go. Put a bra on the front bumper and make those reflectors black. When are you going to drop it?

Thank for the good comments on the wheels.The hood deflector has saved my hood once aready.It got hit by a hub cap.The vent visors are coming off as soon as I can figure out how to get them off without wrecking the vynil on the window rim.

Not to sure if I can lower it with these rims.If I roll the fenders I might be able to.I also had a bad experience with a lowered car before.It rode like a gocart.It was not comfortable at all.So I am a bit hesitent on doing that.

Jet, I usually think your comments are a little too harsh, but I have to agree with this one.

Kinda looks like you hit something while driving and it stuck to your hood.
BTW: Rims look good.

Do you not follow the concept of spaces between sentences? Allow me to help you: Period. Space. Begin new sentence.
