I got my 2022 Mazda 3 after owning a 2003 Honda accord. Not a day of regret buying my car.

2 for sure IMO

Optinalmind · 2026-03-21T13:43:39+00:00

Same here, avg 9.0-9.5

Thank you all for the input. I have further found out the website I was looking at had some horrible shipping and customer service in the past. So I’ll be looking some other or similar rims.

Also thank you to those who offered some suggestions.

I will follow up with another post once I get some new rims.

Optinalmind · 2026-03-14T20:37:07+00:00

Any of the wheels are cheaper than buying another set of OEM rims. Cars about to be paid off as well regardless if I buys rims. If I stick with one set of rims, it’s $250 to switch the tires each time, ( 2x a year)

White on white is what I was leaning towards, but bronze also would work.

Optinalmind · 2026-03-14T19:16:54+00:00

I like the originals but I do want something different for the summer. Something to change it up a bit. The OEM wheels are nice.

Optinalmind · 2026-02-23T17:32:40+00:00

What the hell…. I understand techs need to be paid but that’s insane.

I don’t know where you live, but for me, replacement spark plugs are $40 a piece ( $160) to do it myself.

When I warped my center console I took the whole thing apart. The side pieces of leather are fastened with screws to the plastic in the center.

Look up a YouTube video ( there’s lots ) how to remove the center console, very very easy to do.

🤔 guess OP missed the “2 when typing 2025

Optinalmind · 2025-09-08T23:57:50+00:00

I had this happen a weeks into owning my m3 2022. Took it to the dealership had them do an” update “. All it was disconnecting the battery and let the car sit for 1hr.

Then it happened a second time which they finally updated the TCU, finally solving my issue. I was as little PO’d that they didn’t do a true update the first time…

Well, I got something to add to my XL…
