I doubt it. Those were my snow wheels/tires and I traded in the car with the stock wheels on. The snow tires I sold on craigslist to a guy who was going to use them on his Pontiac Vibe. But it was one of the cheaper 16" wheels available on TireRack so I wouldn't be surprised if someone else bought the cheapest non-steelie wheel they could get for winter tires.

Ah I see. I have noticed there are a lot more mazdaspeeds in general around here vs the south. The speed3 seems to be really popular here. I could go months in Memphis and never see another speed of any kind, now I see at least one everytime I go out. I don't feel like I have a unique car anymore, except I'm one of the few white ones. After being here for a few months I know why.

My 2010 Mazda3 5-door was white, I really like that color. Tried to get a white speed3, but had to settle for not-red not-black. After two years with the white mazda3, I'll say that it actually looks cleaner when a little dirty than most of the other colors. Dingy white looks cleaner than dingy red/black/grey/etc from any distance. Also, the white looks good in any light.

We see a lot of interesting cars in Colorado. I think more people who aren't necessarily into performance per se wind up with hot cars here around Denver and the foothills because of the high elevation advantages of turbocharged engines.. Apparently Subarus and Audis are much higher per capita here than elsewhere, too, because mountain.

I agree Chromal,
When I had a white ms3 dust seemed to show a lot less than on my dark blue ms3...

Silver/Grey and Champagne hide dirt really well from a distance.

lol, no idea. That was actually last year. Went through 3ft of snow and it flew up over the hood and windshield... luckily I didn't stop because I'm positive I would have been stuck haha.
