Careful, I bite!
Hey dude, be aware with replacing the wheels - I've heard that there are some things BUILT INTO the provided wheels that deal with the pressure-sensors. Check with Mazdatrix since he was the one trying to figure out how to bring that capability into a new wheel, but it might be harder than it looks - or else your car will constantly be telling you that you're riding on rims.

His pictures still don't do it justice, if you like the pictures then you will be very happy when you see this combo in person.

Yeah it is really nice, completely blew away the red when I saw both in person. However I think the black is not bad either, but it definitely seems to be lacking something.

Your car looks great but the pics are a bit dark. Can you post some more pictures specially of the interior in brighter light?

Super nice looking car. Only comment on the look is that the navigation screen seems too small compared to the case or frame it too thick. Other stuff, very nice. Congratulation.

I've seen it first hand, for reference the Nav screen is actually pretty big compared the GMC and Denali model SUV's. Can someone comment on the corner to corner length of the screen?

Yeah, I was going to order a black car, but when I saw the titanium in person I liked it the best. Yellow was the one I liked the least.

I think you should just enjoy the stock rims you have now and then when there is more of a variety, then go aftermarket.
btw, i dont know if you know this or not, but since im getting mine at galpin mazda also, i was checking out their inventory for the past few weeks and noticed on some of the cars they had(now already sold), Galpin placed some custom wheels as part of the package. Im wondering what they looked like. When i go in i'll ask what type of wheels they put in and if they look good, i'll consider placing them on mine. But if you were interested, you could also ask galpin about that too.

Its always more gratifying to be patient about these things rather then doing it all at once because it gives you new things to enjoy along the way. Btw, who was your salesperson?

Awesome...I actually never noticed the rims on the black one they have there even tho i have passed by it a million times haha. I havent actually gotten my 8 yet but the sales guy my family deals with is John Stevens who works at the Premier Collection across the street. They have some asesome Aston Martins in there....but the guy that I test drove with was a guy named Andre. Who was yours?

The one car missing from their Premier Collection is the Rx-8. They need to put that baby in the showroom rather than across the street at mazda's haha
