Went up to the Mountains with 3 MS3 and 2 non Mazda's and the new Tires definitely handled awesome. I still don't want to race a Speed on a straightaway, but at least I can hang in the corners

I "think".... WE NEED MORE PICTURES!!!! YEAH!
But I will express my personal opinion which is that I am sick and tired of red and black MS3's and that yours is a VERY welcome change from them.

Nice Ken, thought the color is off. A little heavy on the blue in those pics. You might want to check/reset your camera's white balance.
Got any more?
How are you liking the wheels?

Not my Camera, since I am still learning mine the pics were a little fuzzy, but the color was right on mine, the camera was just a little drunk from the ride in the back seat
I love the rims and the tires have about half the noise the Bad Years did.
So far, the tires handle awesome in the rain and I am still here with a straight car after the snow this morning so they must have done OK then also.
As for handling in the dry, I think I am going to try 34 pounds in the rear instead of the 36 I have right now, at about 70 in a 30 MPH corner is felt a little loose, not real bad but it was getting there, and the 38 in the front seemed about right. And they are very Sticky

The more I look at your 3 against the other red hued cars in that picture, I'm starting to love the burgundy shade of your car.

The rims and tint bring it together real nice.

MSR 17x7's Capitol all season sport. 600(brand new) for the rims and I think 109/tire. I had ventus k104's before...epic fail.

+1! Good job, Ken. The car looks great!!!
I have never warmed up to True Red, though in certain circumstances it can look good. I think it's funny that Mazda has brought Velocity Red Mica back. It should've never been replaced w/TR.
Of course, that is only my strong opinion.
