No I wasn't being sarcastic. Any OZ or Breyton wheels I ever looked at were quite expensive.

I know what they LOOK like but the oval holes in the ends of the spokes are throwing me off.

Ahhh, purple or turqoise. Why not just do purple and green and do a kinda Joker theme? lol

I thought about the purple and green but a lot of people already have that scheme. Purple or turquoise rims just look better imo. But ill be painting it turquoise more than likely

^That's a good idea Eric, but R3 wheels are stupid rare and go for around $2k a set USED! It's stupid! New from Mazda I think they're $3500 a set without tires!
:eek:

Not to sure about that. Is all I know is they had similar wheels on the CX-7 when they came out. I wanted those but they were probably heavy. Then they came out with a sharper design on the Gen2 8.
