Soon to be Mazda3 Owner
 
Hey,

I'm picking up a 2015 Mazda3 iSport later this week. Looking for mod suggestions (will probably wait and save $ but need some ideas). I'm in Pittsburgh.

Thx

For a Mazda3 i Sport, the single best mod you can make is a nice set of 16" or 17" (preferred) alloy wheels and tires.

Nice. Do you have any recommendations?

Nope, won't touch that with a ten foot pole. :)

The thing about wheels and tires is they are a very personal choice; some folks love bling and opt for the largest diameter wheels wrapped in rubber-bands they can fit inside the wheel wells, regardless of how badly they degrade performance. Other folks love partially or fully blacked out wheels, others like machined but otherwise uncolored wheels, while others still like the full chrome treatment. Personally I like the machined wheels showing the natural color of the alloy.

As for tires, once again, personal choice; personally I would opt for an all season tire with very good performance characteristics, others would recommend you keep your current wheels for winter use and put summer performance rubber on the rims.
