Look for 18x8/5x114.3/et45, sir. 35 will poke & rub on full load/dips unless you tweak camber & roll fenders

As replied, Et35 will poke & rub on full load/dips unless you tweak camber & roll fenders. Look for et45.

This is a very detailed yet easy-to-watch and entertaining review (great cinematography too)! Those improvements in reducing NVH will likely go into the new Mazda3 next year. Exciting!

Do they have other flow-formed models already? They mentioned the 360FF but it only comes in 19s. I'm planning to upgrade from the stock 16s to 17s only because I don't want to compromise on the ride too much.

Yet another nice review on the 2017 Mazda3. G-Vectoring Control was also covered. Can't wait for another drive to the northern mountains to experience this!

The reviewer also said in terms of driving dynamics and handling, the M3 is way better than the Honda Civic he recently reviewed (prone to understeering, bland cvt).

The initial FF wheels produced were geared towards the premium segment. If there's clamor for smaller FF sizes, it's not difficult to reach out to Rota.
Wanna start a group buy on a model & size you fancy, John sir?[emoji4]

I have tacit approval from the Dept of Finance but don't have the cash on hand yet. It must be lighter than stock and 17 though. Keeping an eye on the pre-loved market as well. Maybe early next year

A friend got a brand new set of Te37s for his VW wagon. Pretty but heartbreaking if it gets curb rash

Hehe. Your DoF is a lot more generous than most...Haha.....You & I got a mutual bud who got a set of used but pristine TE37 18s on his hobo3. Light, tough & in the best finish...Bronze!!!! You won't need to wonder how great they'd look on yours, sir.[emoji4]

If the price is right! Won't go low though. There's a speed bump right in front of our gate that barely tickles my stock hobo 3's belly.

Yeah, those...I had to play Jesuit & do some volunteer work to correct the off spec'd speed bumps in our neighborhood....out of sympathy for all those low cars that go thru em daily.[emoji14]

You will feel uneven roads and potholes much more due to the low profile tires that you’ll match with your 18s.

Matagtag talaga dahil mas konti na ang "hangin" between you and the road.

So far I don't find my M3's ride "matagtag" with the stock 18 rims. Uneven roads, small potholes and bumps are more noticeable though.

**buknoii** · July 15th, 2018 09:03 AM

may nabibili ba na stock 18inch rims?
