Ms 18" Oem Wheels - Powder Coated - Mazda 6 Forums : Mazda 6 / Mazda Atenza Forum

Frantic3 · 06-22-2007, 12:54 PM

This has been done with several 6's in here so I'm sure it no big thing...

But from what I found the the "search" buttom, most of the members opted to paint the whole wheel black.

Instead of going all black.. I decided to just paint the wheel itself (glosy black) and leave the mazda emblem, nuts and valve stems to chrome.

There have been several request for me to post some pics once I got them mounted so thats why I'm putting them up. Like I said before, this has been done by several members and should not suprise any experienced forum member with the style.

I love the overall turn out and its exactally what I wanted the car to look like. Black on black but not totally black!

Sorry for the shitty pic's - did the best I could with parents cam!

I already know that the "now all you have to do is drop it" is comming.. I have the MS Hatch springs sitting in my garage waiting to get put in. Debating if I should try to put them on myself or have them put in by someone else. I have shop where the owner is a friend of wifey's so I might go that route..

Tell me what you guys think! I'm open to opinions..

looks good buddy.

can't wait to see them in person. you should throw some tire shine on them bad boys

That looks damn good bro. Great job! About the springs: I say put them in yourself! Well, if you have all the tools readily available, it's cake. If you still don't feel good about it, I'm willing to bet that there is a step-by-step how-to on here somewhere. Good luck bro.

i'm also willing to bet that there is a guy that goes by the name of Bluelion that will help with the install since he has done previous spring installs on other cars.

the wheels look good now you need the drop from your spring

bluelion · 06-22-2007, 01:14 PM

oh yeah, now you need to paint your calipers black, or maybe even silver to go with the black with silver accents theme.

Wheels look great man, glad they worked out for ya! Hope to see them in person sometime too. The springs aren't hard, the rears are a breeze, the fronts are a bit more challenging... I'd highly recommend using air tools on them.

Well in the first pic.. you can see the attempt of left over armor I'd tried to put on.. Only thing my pops had in the garage..

I'll post some better pics.. this weekend, when I have some time to wash her good!

For the calipers, i'm looking for a siliverish color.. but thats another weekend project..

Agreed! Tire shine and maybe a lower the car a lil bit and I think you will have yourself a very sinister yet sleek looking car.
