Hello,
Has any one any experience or thoughts on these alloys, or any other black alloy recommendations for my mk 3.5. coupe
Many Thanks.
I’ve got them on my MkI and I’m very happy with them. They are starting to show signs of deterioration now i.e. painting getting loose at the edge of the spokes, but that’s after 5.5 years of abuse on trackdays with dusty brake pads and irregular cleaning. So I think that’s reasonable.
It’s personal taste of course, but I really like the design. Looks great on most cars (including Mk3s)
Pedant mode on/ do you mean pro RACE 1.2? Or is there a ‘sport’ version?
Thanks Team Malbec, do look nice on yours and sure they will even look nice on a mk 3.5, sorry you are right, i meant pro race 1.2 , cheers

So what’s so special about these then? Are they lightweight?
They are not especially light, but not heavy. You will however see them on just about every Touring Car on the grid.
They are pretty much a staple of racing because they come in many sizes and, unless a popular standard size, are machined to order allowing offset and fitting to be specified.
15 x 7 ET 30 which is the standard for Mazda are currently in stock.
I had them in gold on my black Lotus. Not mega light but light enough. They are the control wheel for BTCC iirc .
nice with shiney rims…
I have a brand new set of these in 17" in the garage that I bought for my MK3 but never got round to fitting. Sold the car!
If anyone fancies a set…
Old thread I know, but what offset and width are people running these at with mk3’s.
Having fitted coilovers, the factory wheels really are too far inboard. I don’t do spacers, so thinking a different offset wheel or a wider wheel.
