An uncommon platform, but not in like a cool way - Mazda6

Thanks man! Will you be at Sowo?

Hell yea I'll be there. Heading up Tuesday. I can't wait to see this thing.

Love your car. But yeah, I'm also on the fence about the new wheels. Old wheels rocked more! Beautiful car dude!

[SnazzyQ]

ur wheels look like cheese graters.

[smiles]

Looks killer man, usually don't like those style of wheels but they seem to fit well with your car.

Love those wheels. Looking great!

Did you get it all fixed?

Yup, it was just two upstream O2 sensors; the cats were clogged though so now I have an obnoxiously loud automatic FWD family sedan that smells like a riding mower. VIP as fuck.

That shits so crazy looking. Love it.

They look great but I think I prefer the old wheels.

Understandable haha. I was kind of hoping for a funky, weird Japan-inspired aesthetic to match how unusual the platform is, but if you look at it at face value they're pretty ugly. I had to sell the Dukes to pay for shit at the time.

A couple slightly better pics. I aired out all the way because reasons.

UPDATE TIME WOOOOOOO

Ok, got new wheels from Japan. Arrived on Friday. Weds Kranze Rapiers.

The listing stated 19x9 +30 19x10 +25 but I really don't think that's accurate. 3" and 4.5" lips; chrome faces; tortoise shell center caps.

And now some pics with them on. (Front has about an inch more to air out and the car is DISGUSTING but I just wanted to post these; swamped from studying for finals right now.)

Well, a bit of an update. The car basically still doesn't run or won't idle or whatever. Cleaned MAF, cleaned throttle body, checked for vacuum leaks, etc. Have an appointment today to get it checked out at John Finger Mazda. The owner is a really cool guy and won the 24 Hours of Daytona in 2000 or something.

Sold the wheels, because I don't really have money to fix the car. Hopefully will have something new in time for Sowo. I'm not a very patient person so this is a good learning experience.

Here she is as she sits now.



Also here's a hilarious picture



Next wheels will probably be nothing special, just a set of Eurolines or SSR Viennas or something I can import from Japan for cheap. Speaking of which -- if any of y'all are looking for wheels, shoot me a PM.

Yessir! Planning on having a giant cabin shit show with a bunch of the mazdafitment people.

Fun fun! I'm sure I'll see you down there. We booked at the econolodge in town. I think our plan is to post up in one of the lots by the strip with a some chairs, and a cooler of beer and just relax and cheer for burnies!
