Trying to choose between PO's wheels or stock gen one MS3 wheels

[aaronllewellyn]

Hey guys, This is a picture of an 08 Ms3 GT I recently bought, It needs tires and Im not sure if I want to put new tires on the OEM wheels or keep the wheels that are on it.

Opinions on these? Called HD "spinouts" I believe.

My opinion? I don't like them. Then again I'm very modest when it comes to the visuals

Im thinking stock wheels, more $$$ to spend on a hpfp.

Stock wheels is my vote.

I'm going to be completely brutally honest with you and I think those wheels are hideous. New tires on Oem wheels please

Look for some Gen2 wheels. I'm quite fond of them and I think they look great on Gen1's. Should be able to get a used set for ~$250.

I'll look into it.

Back to stock, genpu wheels if you like their look on a juan or, my favorite of the three and one which can also be had pretty cheaply, stock RX8 wheels.

There are no OEM wheels on Craigslist near me... All other used options are $650 with shit tires or $900+ with decent tires

They look like Camry oem wheels FUGLY.

Put tires on the wheels you have and look for stock ones in the meantime. You can always switch the tires over.

I actually have a set of stock Gen 1 wheels. So I think that'll be my solution for now.

Check out the Mazdaspeed new/used parts on FB. There's always a couple sets floating around.

Yeah. Crazy prices but people love them. I paid 4500 for mine.

You can find a few part outs on Craigslist too. Just have to find someone willing to ship parts. Or there are mazdaspeed owners and mazdaspeed classifieds on facebook .
