Wheels are stored in TechDetails, I believe. You may contact TD, view & grab from there.[emoji6]

I'm looking for a rim that would look similar with the new Mazda3 BP 4th gen. I found Rota Hashtag to be a fitting design:



Hashtag (F/R) – Rotawheels

But looking at the specs for 18x8.5 size, max offset is up to +44 only, 1 point less than the ideal +45. Wouldn't that be an issue?

Empirically tested 2 different wheel sets(lighter rotary forged vs heavier cast) of the same size & offset to see if reduced unsprung rotational weight of wheels really increases ride comfort.....
Confirmed, it's true! No placebo![emoji106]

I'm planning to change my steering wheel to a carbon fiber one with a flat bottom, but my question is, is it still safe? I'm afraid the air bag won't deploy in case of a collision. Anybody here change their steering wheel? And is it too ricey? What's your thought?

One more thing, can somebody point me in the right direction on how to update my HU?

Post a pic of your preferred wheel, sir. It won't have anything to do w/ the wheel SRS deployment as it just sits on top....unless it's improperly hooked.
On HU...Our good brother, JohnM, can probably guide you best....or check mazda3revolution for mzdconnect firmware updates.

Listen to your mind's preference & not mind public perception, sir.[emoji4] CF is easy to clean w/o leather wear worries. With that model, you won't have to miss the grip at 3 & 9 o'clock. Some are of alcantara for a reason, but they won't retain 'new' long. CF will.[emoji4]

I decided not to continue, I've read that version of the Mazda connect in China is different from others[emoji848], I'm afraid I would brick the infotainment [emoji20]
