How much. I assume you have to remove tires and TPMS for the Powder coating process? Think solid black would look great on yellow mobile

Umm, my Mazdaspeed springs are about a .75" drop, not .03" funny guy...

He's as bad as Can
Just Picked up my set of Black Powder coated OEM's from a local shop and I am happy with them except I can't mount them till Spring 2005. Cost Under $275 for the set and I will hand paint the caps black except for the Mazda logo . I think they will look great on my Yellow.

expo1, those actually look really good because it's not flat and got some shine to them.
How are you so patient? I'd mount them just on one side to see how it looks!

Got them mounted
I couldn’t wait till my OEM’s wore out or spring and got tires mounted on my Black rims. The dealer did a good job and there aren’t any scratches. I did my winter change over today so while I was at it I put them on one side for some pics.
I like them.
