Mazda 3 - 16 inch sports rim
-
I just booked a Mazda 3 basic model recently
. However, I prefer the 16" rims seen on the luxury model. ANyone has know how much would it cost me to change the 15" to 16" rims? Any recommendations on where to change it? -
put aside about... 3000?
try trading in your 15" rims -
.......so ex???
i might as well pay $5000 more to get the full body kit including 17" rims... sigh.... too late
-
why too late, im going to get my modifed version this coming april.
-
because once u paid booking fee, need to pay additional $2k to change model/colour.
I am only getting mine 6 months later.. but like all kiasu, i ask in advance 
-
Scoobyd, have u ask any freebies from the salesman when wanting to book the model. And wats the color u be getting. I ask him to reserve red as he says not available.
-
hmm.. scooby... look around. shop for prices. i can only give a rough guide, but i ams sure there might be cheaper offers going on out there.
-
Thanks Heng@, will look around and compare prices
Evo75 - I booked a red one just a couple of days ago.. and got about $500 discount. ... -

$3000?Originally posted by HENG@:put aside about... 3000?
try trading in your 15" rims
daylight robbery ah.
what kind of rim will that be,
unless u are talking about aluminium rim.
branded alloy rim like OZ cost about 200-400 per pc for 16" rims.
no point trading in, ask your SF if you can still upgrade your model.
you cant get back much by trading in. -
mazda 3 got 2l and 2.3l one meH??Originally posted by HENG@:2l or 2.3l? -
No, Mazda 3 comes only in 1.6l.Originally posted by twoti:mazda 3 got 2l and 2.3l one meH??
Guess he mistook it for a Mazda 6.
Anyway, the 16 inches rims will not cost 3k. Of cos a lot have to depend on the brand and make, but 3k is really too much to pay for 4 pcs of rims. -

eh i was thinking in terms of some of the rims i saw in USA mags, going for about US$700... -
mazda 3 dunno whats the ideal rim and tyre combo size...
-
maybe i will check with stamford tyres....
-
stamford tire prices are "sa ren, fang huo" (kill people, set fire)Originally posted by SCOOBYD:maybe i will check with stamford tyres.... . but admittedly, they do have a large range of rims and tires to choose from. -
can try autobacs... i have a friend working there.Originally posted by tailslide:stamford tire prices are "sa ren, fang huo" (kill people, set fire) . but admittedly, they do have a large range of rims and tires to choose from. -
errrm, autobacs? no thanx. that one another place where u get slaughtered. imagine them selling the exact same suspension system i got from garage R at 600 bucks more WITHOUT installation!Originally posted by HENG@:can try autobacs... i have a friend working there. -
if not stamford and autobacs .. than any good recommendation?
-
go to some small but famous workshop
try out espace at ubi.
stamford tyre has very rude staff.
workmanship also suck big time.
autobac is much better in term of workmanship but still pricey. -

U should have tried to negotiate with the SE for bigger rims... when i bought my protege, i upgraded from 14"to 15" for $250 more.... Anyway if it's too late for u to do that, I guess u can try some of the shops at Ubi, they got pretty competitive prices thereOriginally posted by SCOOBYD:I just booked a Mazda 3 basic model recently .

But $3000 is way too high, I would say $1000 ++ is enough for decent ones unless u are going for really top-graded onesOriginally posted by SCOOBYD:I just booked a Mazda 3 basic model recently .

Hi all
Maybe you guy can try King Song at 908D Upper thomson Rd. The price over there is quite reasonable. But maybe the type of rim will be lesser.
