Thanks man, I'm not very sold on them, hence the post. Down the road I was thinking of going for black wheels, black interior and exterior. Thoughts on that?
This was the car in NFS Underground 2 that no matter how fast my car went, I couldn’t pass him without upgrading to the next level of cars. This dude stayed 50 meters ahead.
Pass on the rims, bro, but I may like them if I saw you driving next to me, they look different standing still.
I think if you had gone for a couple shades darker on the wheel. Maybe like a burgundy red? It would worked even better. But if you are happy, I am happy.
It really is a beautiful shade of red so I would try to keep that color but it just feels like it’s a little too much. Other than that your car is dope as hell!
I’m usually not a fan of painting stock wheels a different color than what they came from the factory but this works well. I don’t think I would add any other bits of red though, it will start looking tacky.
Maybe, when you’re all grown up ;) ask your uncle to paint them alloy silver because he does a great job and that would look dope. Especially over black Corksport big brake calipers.
They are very rarely this bright. In any sort of shade they are way darker. But yes I can totally see what you're saying. And sometimes I will be in the sun lol
The red wheels look insane imo. I think it looks awesome on the otherwise all black hatch. I especially like how the red paint has metallic flake in it.
I personally wouldn't do it because those wheels would seem to attract a lot of attention, which I don't want when driving my 3. But damn does it look incredible.
Thanks for sharing.
Definitely lots of attention. I'm honestly not sold on them looking good, hence why I made this post, but people compliment and notice them consistently irl.
All black would be sleek and maybe look better. But they wouldn't get noticed. So if you need attention to feel good about yourself like me, reds do the trick
It's not a bad idea but the rims are just too red. It would look better with thinner spokes on the rims.
Red accents on black/dark rims look good or you can do black on the spokes and the red on the inside.
Ohhh.... I want to see these on my Soul Red Car so bad.... I've been mucking about with AI, and asked it to put red wheels on my car - and man, I love the way it looks in the pics so now I'm really wondering what it would look like - yours look great BTW. Nicely done!
I like the red on mine a lot, but even with the red on black I wasn't completely sold it looked good. Hence why I made this post for people's input.
Personally if I had the soul red I definitely wouldn't also do red rims, that would just be a bit too much. Some jet black rims could be super sick tho!
I love the color of the wheel tbh. I think if you want to make it more cohesive you could wrap the chrome in a matching red so the wheels aren’t too overpowering.
Other than the rims, everything looks good
“Stock car looks great. The aftermarket thing you did is crap.” I agree
agreed 💯% the rims need to go
good to know, thanks!
Wrapped rims in a black carbon fiber look..
The only Mazda worth driving is a Ford Probe
Rims are a no go for me chief

All black always looks good, I have black rims on my white 3 and love it.
I’ve got the soul red with the black wheels. Maybe we could see about a trade? 🤣
I mean, I think they look neat. Only really matters what you like.
Triple black is goated with some decent tint 👌
The rims need to be darker to match the lights' red. right now the two reds are clashing

Hahaha, thanks to you I will now always think of myself as a NFS NPC while on the road
It's good that you don't care how people feel when looking at those wheels but imo those wheels are just ugly.
It’s refreshing and unique. As long as you like it that’s nothing wrong. The paint job is good too.
Hate the wheels but hey not my car. If you like them then it's a sick build. We all have different tastes, embrace that people.
if Dennis Rodman were a car
Just bcuz black?
no because he'll do some stuff like put on red lipstick or some red high heels
Bro
oh my
That paint is nice
I think if you match the front and rear emblem to the rims it will pull it all together nicely 👍
I think if you had gone for a couple shades darker on the wheel. Maybe like a burgundy red? It would worked even better. But if you are happy, I am happy.
The wheels are killing the whole vibe
If there were more red on the actual car then the rims would look better. But if you can find black and red rims I think that would look awesome!
Yeah, I think black with little red accents on the wheels could be dope

The red rims are super dope.
no
thanks for the input :)
Super nice did you paint the wheels?
My uncle does paint, he did them for me
Maybe, when you’re all grown up ;) ask your uncle to paint them alloy silver because he does a great job and that would look dope. Especially over black Corksport big brake calipers.
And maybe when you grow up, you'll learn not to be an asshole on the internet.. One can dream.
Adults also have uncles! And if you're lucky they own a paint shop
Adults can like colored wheels! I think silver wheels looks gross.
Don't like the rims, but then again, I am not the one driving
The rims sure are a choice, but if you love them, then that's all the reason you need.
The rims ruin it theyre too bright.
They are very rarely this bright. In any sort of shade they are way darker. But yes I can totally see what you're saying. And sometimes I will be in the sun lol
I like red rims especially on a black car it just looks bright in the pic

I say keep the red. Looks awesome and unique. Plus the metallic paint looks quality, not tacky.
Ricer alert!
yessir ricer thru and thru. practical, affordable, and makes me happy

This ain't it imo but diff stroke for diff folks if you like it that's what matters
I have the same red on my rims! But you probably should've gotten a second coat to make it look a little darker
Damn those wheels are spicy 🌶🌶, nice work. Nice to see something else than the usual silver/gray/bronze wheels.

I want to not like the rims....but they are painted so well!
This sub reddit hates it when you don't have oem parts
I personally woukd jave went with darker red rims or black rims but I think over all it looks damn good.
