Smile New Mazda3 owner here!

Hello everyone,

I am Darrek from South Dakota. Just traded in my 2006 RX-8 MTX for a 2011 Mazda3 5door MTX.

Pics or it didn't happen, I understand, but its snowing, and haven't had a wash yet.

Options on the car:
  • Black Mica
  • Front/Rear body moldings
  • 6CD Bose/Sunroof
  • Sirius

Any opinions on putting stock RX-8 wheels onto the 3?

Thanks,

Darrek

I think the RX-8 wheels would be awesome. I'm thinking of doing that for the first mod to the wifes' 3

hm, I just noticed the 2010 model doesn't have the side door mouldings - that's the first thing I took off of my 2007, glad they finally caught up
