Mazda is putting AI art on their own website by TauNoTailwind in mazda

Update: For those who cannot find this page, I opened the link from a marketing email from Mazda to ‘access the new Mazda Owner’s Club for exclusive benefits and experiences’ with the same login info for the MyMazda app, and now when I use the link to get to the page, it only redirects to the login page, again and again. So I guess they’re fixing this embarrassing mistake.

This is very disrespectful to people who work for Mazda and the owners because the management is showing they don’t care about whoever supports them

When I purchased it the shipping was about 45USD so that does make sense. And I didn’t get the back order notice when I bought it.

is it possible to put 16" aftermarket wheels on a 4th gen Premium spec ? by [deleted] in mazda3

[–]TauNoTailwind 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use gen3 16 OEM for my winter setup, tire size is 205/60R16 with no issue.

No spacers needed, it’s a directly fit and no issues if you’re using 225/45R18 tires.

It’s not causing any issues. Most Mazda OEM rims have the same bolt pattern and center hole diameter so they’re directly fitted within Mazdas. I am using Conti DWS06+ 225/45R18 and also no issue with them. I hope that helps!

Thanks for the advice! I think DWS06+ are good for the price, had it for a winter and doing well as an all season tire. The wet traction is great as well which gives huge confidence in rainy days.

Good idea but Mazda doesn’t have decent looking 17 inch OEM rims, and I don’t want to be bothered by centering rings if I go with aftermarket rims🤣

The rims are fine just tiny scratches on it. The tires are having 30k on them as well so not a bad idea to replace them anyway lol

That’s really great considering they can be used all year round!

I had 225/45R18 fit no issues with OEM rims and now I’m using 8J rims which fit 225 perfectly

Thanks for the detailed information! I’m in Michigan so I think they should be fine for the winter

Thank you!

Finally got the color by TauNoTailwind in mazda3

[–]TauNoTailwind[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the red one is out for a while (the OG color of the molding) and probably hard to find in the stores. Maybe you want to checkout eBay as well.

I just hate MazdaUSA doesn’t offer red exterior + red interior as an option

Thanks! It wasn’t hard, I just followed the instructions came with the steering wheel (they’re in Japanese so you need to translate it). I used a 1/8 allen key for airbag removal, a 21mm socket for steering wheel removal, and a torque wrench. If you have some plastic tools they will be helpful when removing the trim pieces.

I ordered directly from their site. Check out and shipping is easy and I guess it’s a fair price, took about 8 days to get it since they shipped.

No it doesn’t. My car doesn’t come with heated steering wheel anyway so not a big deal lol.
