2014 Mazda 3

[travajante]

Just called my SA and was told that my Unit will not be released tom. In fact, the SA don't have any idea on when the unit can be released.

I'm already planning to refund my DP and transfer to Mazda Pasig as they have my unit in stock.

Anyone with the same experience? Can you please share?

Thanks!

Before pulling your DP, check w/ other dealerships 1st for availability.
I never had trouble w/ my dealership. Probably the best out there.

9.5 et38 will need fender roll & camber. 9.5" will at least need 255/40 to avoid stretch. 245/40 might give a stretch that's not over the top..255 will be about 27mm, 245 about 22mm outside of the rear no-rub threshold of say an 18x8 et45 w/ 225/45 tires. That's a lot to tuck!!! But, if your up for some spending on rear camber arms & can take premature tire wear, then this can be done. To achieve that look, sacrifice tire life & add on unsprung weight? If you'd ask me....No, thanks.

8.5 et44 is doable w/ 225/45. No fender roll, no rub....but guess the set you're eyeing is staggered, right? That's more for RWDs. Doing that on FWDs won't give you anything but added weight, drag & recurring headaches, Ollie sir

Again, just my 2cents.

PM Geo_S. He's the best guy to ask. Once you've decided, please email me your price & pics. I commonly get asked & I can probably refer those to you.

hmm. actually been looking for rotas online(used and brandNew). I really want to improve my fc and reduce weight by buying lightweight rims.. but have a ceiling budget. I already have a set of tires(225/45/18).. so I'm looking into using those and staying away from stretching or anything that could compromise performance.

hehe.. I'm not eyeing for staggered. It just so happen that the wheels available online that I feel is within my budget happens to have the two specs mentioned above..

anyway thank you sir travs.. I guess I have to stick with the 8.5 et44.. haha it's just so tempting.. there are so many rims that
look good * 9.5 et38..

AnytiM3, Ollie sir.
True, so many good lightweight wheels out there. Fitment is key. Staying w/in the 8.5 et44 up limits will look great w/ 225/45s. What model might you be eyeing? Titans are nice, light, durable & within reach.
Pics when you're done, please.
Thanks.

Email you, sir. Thanks.

Anybody else experiencing this problem with their front windshield tints? I find it hard to believe that this can't be remedied by good old fashioned patience and workmanship.

[Doctsakititoy]

Btw, I'm referring to the uneven adhesion over the textured black thingy (what is that for, anyway?).

does it dehisce after you manually paste it back, sir?

actually checking out titans. seen one from ringking hahaha. It looked great.
I've seen one on olx/sulit two weeks ago with et44 and 8.5, too bad the post was taken down looks like it's already sold. Titans available now online are on et38 9.5 so maybe I just have to wait a little bit.

Only pwr,hashtag,svn and ss10 are a few that I've seen online with the et44 8.5 spec.question does the rims mentioned have the same weight as titans?

That takes patience w/ pressure & a bit of heat on those dots that serve as your 3rd visor, doc.

Nope, weights vary from model to model, sir.

Took it back to the dealer that installed it and they attempted to even out the adhesion, to no avail. Just gave me excuses, no possible remedies but to cut out the offending piece of tint.

Noob question, I installed after market hid a few days ago, on the way home, I noticed the beam pattern is like a staircase, is this normal or do I have to bring it back for adjustments? TIA
