Default what do you think of these rims...

decided I'm going to get some new rims some time this year.


I found these.

I was going to go for an old school wire rim with an unpainted lip, and coloured or black spokes

some people will hate, but ehh... I like this style of wheel on any car.

My car is a dark blue metallic, in Australia the colour is called 'aurora blue', not sure what your equivalent is.

Our cars are built with mazda 2s in thailand and have the same PCD, 4x100.

If you can find some nice alloys that will fit my car and are available in australia, suggest away! Cheers guys

Those look pretty nice. From a distance though, they might make your wheels look really small and your tires really tall, because the outer black rim could blend in with your tires.

i like the design of them. personal preference, but i'm not a fan of colored rims. i prefer black rims on all my cars.

Those look good, however, if the color doesn't match the body color exactly, they could look odd on the car.

They look really nice! If I had the Blue Candy or an '11 Blue FLame I'd certainly consider them.

I agree with 3drhatch (? there's no 3 dr hatch's here). I was looking at some black wheels for my Candy Red car that have red highlights but if it's not the same red it might clash. Did you see the thread where the guy bought the Carbon body kit in Lime Squeeze and they didn't match the color of the car? Ouch.

this is all true.


I did find a gmax wheel which I think had a matching pcd, and was a darker blue, more like my car. The Konig rim is indeed a bit brighter blue.

I'm planning on some Sport Tuning T10 rims for both cars. I think they'll look the best with both the Monterrey Grey and the Red Candy.
