some of you might remember this thread......

http://www.mazdaspeedforums.org/foru...or-advice.html

i debated between wheel colors and i decided to go balls deep and get the shocker yellow done. i have never been more happy for my car. everywhere i go everyone is looking at me and im even getting thumbs up. its a complete love hate relationship though because most people who just see picts dont like them but when they see them in person they change their mind. on to the goods........ i wish i had a better camera because u cant really see by these picts how the color changes hue's in different lights. here are some close ups of what the color actually looks like.

and here is the final product.......

lastly i tried playing with some different graphics options as i think the car needs some accents. i dont want to over do it (and obviously im not going to use all these graphics) but i placed some in different areas to get your opinions.

P.S. a HUGE thanks to martin at liquidpowdercoats.com for doing these. he had a hell of a time because i used some crazy primer when they were originally bronze and it had apparently seeped into the wheels. (note if you diddent pick up on my advice right there it was to not use primer if your rattle canning your wheels before PC-ing them lol)

before I saw pics I was skeptical, I actually thought you were putting the wheels from the LPC pics on your car and I wasnt a fan...but the stockies that color look awesome IMO...

no decals ftw too.

Very impressed with the outcome, i especially like the black center caps and lugs.

DPancoast · 04-30-2009, 12:42 AM

I like it a lot. but if I can say, please dont go overboard with the graphics... please.

lol the more i look at my experiment pict the more it makes me nauseous haha. i think im gona just do the zoom-zoom stocker i have on my back window in green and then sit on it for a while. the more i see all the graphics the less i like them.

ricky2i5 · 04-30-2009, 01:24 AM

+1 on decal-less looks great w/o them

OMGz Turbo · 04-30-2009, 01:33 AM

Only possible sticker i would like is MAYBE the one that runs on the bottom of the doors...i like it all stretched like that, Maybe do zoom zoom on the rear fender's closer to the trunk...On top of the body line

01bb6er · 04-30-2009, 01:45 AM

they came out good. I saw these wheels at the shop when I stopped by. They were really giving him a hard time, but he was absolutely certain about getting them done.

lol biggest understatement of the century haha. martin truly put some heart and soul into these as he spent multiple 2am+ nights doing them

JDMTyler3326 · 04-30-2009, 06:20 AM

Look great with those rim but dont out any decals on.

CHAOS · 04-30-2009, 06:44 AM

frosti108 · 04-30-2009, 07:21 AM

looks nice though

jjm4life · 04-30-2009, 11:05 AM

wheels look pretty wild. please no graphics

poisonivory · 04-30-2009, 11:14 AM

love the weels on that car..and +1 for no graphics at all.

TalonTsi97 · 04-30-2009, 11:14 AM

What gave him so much problem with them? Not doubting him if it comes off that way cause i've been to the shop, but I'm just curious

215ek · 04-30-2009, 11:15 AM

i actually like it. as for graphics, id say MAYBE the small one on the bumper. it would give it the sticker look you want, but just be nice and simple.
IMO id come up with something different other than mazda speed. lookin good tho

DaBombDiggidy · 04-30-2009, 11:50 AM

the one along the hood looks cool in the picture but i wouldnt wana rock it on a day to day basis

deb38 · 04-30-2009, 03:06 PM

Is that a MazdaSpeed?

SpEcRv9 · 04-30-2009, 03:15 PM

It's an MS6. It is more of a green than a yellow. I'd go with the hood decals and something on the rear quarter panels to tie it all together. maybe a zoom zoom on the rear bumper???
