Since there are so many other black elements on this car I beg to differ on your black rims on yellow statement. But you are correct that Yellow Rocks !

The gas lid is not chrome. It's the JDM polished aluminum one.
It looks good - don't listen to these naysayers.

Pretty car.

looks great, i like the alloy gas cap looks good , I think if a darker tint would be sick though!

Calipers need to be painted to, other then that its nice!

Nope... I don't like black rims on yellow with this car. I want to see white rims on yellow though.

white rims on yellow looks weird too, gold/bronze would look nice though.

Thanks for all your learned opinions... I'm pleased my car is generating such friendly discussion

Just a few rejoinders...

I can't go darker with the tint and stay legal in Melbourne - most of the time it looks much darker than in these pics, so that's cool.

You're right Tamas, it's the alu fuel cap. One possibility is to paint the inner bit the body colour (yellow) and leave the alu ring - that's been done on the two Mazda Australia turbo mules (red and black body colours), and looks great IMHO.

Also I'd never put gold or bronze wheels on my car, just as I'd never wear a gold necklace or wristband. I happen to like the black+polished rims a lot. Still, there's no accounting for taste!

I'll get around to the calipers, promise...
