Virgin 1,
Hold judgement until you see the Mazda Speed tail lights in person if you haven't already, because they look a lot more tasteful than the standard S. I totally agree with your assesment of the wheel design though. It is a very good looking wheel that Mazda used on this latest Speed 3. The smile is even done more aggressively on this car. It looks more like a mean jack o lantern. Hmmmm (Orange Paint?)
