Eug,

I did call Bank Stree Mazda and they are getting in touch with Mazda Canada. I agree that they are probably not willing to give me the wheels but I can try can't I. And I also agree about the pamphlet.

I was told I'd have an answer by the end of the week so we'll see how that goes.

Thanks.

 

Hey,

From personal experience My dealer in Toronto gave me ALL of the stock parts after getting the performance package. I got the engine cover, the stock rims and lug nuts, the stock air intake and ALL of the hardware that went with it. I even got filter cleaning solution for the new cold air intake. I bought my car back in February of this year and they didn't have the performance package yet. But when it came in it took one day to get everything installed and my sales person even helped load my car up with ALL of the stock parts. They even held onto the rims for me for two months till I got my garage cleared out so I had space to store them.

You should seriously look into what is going on. You should receive all of the stock parts since you purchased the vehicle and the performance package was an add-on on top of all of the stock parts. Let us know how it works out.

 

My dealer in Edmonton gave me everything except the stock rims. After a call to the sales manager I was able to get those as well.

 

Mazda Canada wrote me back and after trying to decipher their email ... looks like I'm out of luck. Just a sec, I'll try to find and post it:

I'm going to call the dealership again but I don't know if I have a shot at getting those rims. Thanks to all of you who posted. Makes me thing I DID get ripped off and want to keep trying.

^^ that seems like a generic email response...did you specifically ask them if you get both sets of rims?

 

I agree Rem, it sounds formula. And I did list items such as the wheels in my email. So it's just going to round two, for now.

Thanks,

 

I got the same response from the 3 dealerships I went to, and they all told me they would not include the stock parts.

This is why I went for 3k off the price instead of 3k of performance stuff that costs the same as the 3k of stock stuff they take from your car.

 

don't want t start anything but if you paid more than $2,ooo for the upgraded wheels and tires than the dealership has a $2,000.00 dollar credit for factory rims and tires! heres what you do . go to the parts dept and ask how much for four tires four rims four valve stems or tmps four wheels mounted and balanced.a cold air intake system and add that up! I personally bet the price of o.e.m plus the rest well be more than the package you paid for check around and see for yourself

 

thanks xrx8x.
