Today was a awesome sunny day that I actually had off due to it being Good Friday. To fill some of the day I gave the 6 a good bath and did some detailing. Just about 3.5 years old and still looks awesome. The car is bone stock and even though I want to do some things to it such as lowering it an inch and maybe getting some bigger rims I still think its one sweet looking car. I might be a bit biased though :p. It's a shame that they replaced it with the abomination that is the new Mazda6.

Thanks! Just about to roll over 39K miles. It's been halfway across the country (moved from Ohio to TX 2 years ago.)

nice, even if my car isn't the latest and greatest, i still keep it clean and nice. Had mine about 3 years and people still ask me if i got a "new car" lol

most people just don't maintain.

Here's my 2007 Mazdaspeed 6, kinda dirty and with aftermarket wheels that looked better on my monitor than on the vehicle. D:

I think the problem is that your eyes tend to follow the spokes and since my wheels are two tone (black with polished lip) you see the black part and the lip just blends in with the tires, making the tires look higher profile. Ahhh well.

The wheels are Kazera KZ-K with Goodyear Eagle F1 A/S-C tires in the stock Mazdaspeed 6 size of 215/45-18.

Wow those are 18s? They don't even do anything to fill the wheel well which is sad cause you would think they would since my stock 17s don't do a bad job at that.

When my OE tires needed replaced (The horrible Pilot MXM4s) I replaced them with Barum Bravuris 2 summer tires. They are well worth the $90/piece I paid for them. The car handles soo much better.

It's an optical illusion. The stock wheels which are the exact same size look like they fill out the wheel wells better.

Not my monitor ;)

I meant just the wheel on my screen, car not included.
