Mazda Monday! Lightweight Wheels

Ride Quality was definitely improved, the ride is less harsh while going over bumps in the road, steering feels sharper as well.

I'm glad too see you haven't pulled all your hair out over my 21' yet😂

[@supermazda3]

Bruh, I'm just glad both of us have patience

[@patrickstover8766]

10 lbs of unsprung weight removed from each corner is massive. The car will be a lot more fun to drive!

[@supermazda3]

It sure is

[@theripper121]

Looks great

[@supermazda3]

Thanks!

Look sick bro. I wanna get a carbon hood from kodo boomer. Those friken bonnets must weigh 40kgs on their own

[@supermazda3]

I believe they are actually way less than 20kg for a stock hood

Other than the 4th Gen HB on the Wedssport website, you're the only other person I know with the SA-25r on our platform

[@leadlean]

you could do some adjustable bucket seats, i have a 2013 mazda 3 HB skyactiv with 181, on the odometer and was thinking of starting off with the stage 3 thorton performance ecu chip and then working my way to the supercharger, i do have my k&n filter on hand i’ve just been lazy to do it lol but i wanna do the cork sport racepipe exhaust they also have one with a catalyst but it’s not “available” here in california but dual it with the short ram intake soon i also wanna do the fuel pump and those plugs like you said, slowly but surely go down the list

I have a set of 17' rpf1 from my last car that I've been waiting to put on. Kept the oem 18's on for the first year of ownershipnto get a feel for the driving dynamics. But in a few weeks I'll be putting on the lightweights

[@supermazda3]

Let me know how that goes

[@Phrost72]

I have been trying to track down some lighter than OEM, thank you!

[@supermazda3]

No problem!

I picked up my base mazda 3 sport today. Could you recommend a smaller size rim with a higher sidewall that I could use in the winter? I hope the fwd isn't going to be crazy bad. Thanks for the video. 👍

[@supermazda3]

If it's a true base model, it will have 16" wheel which is perfect for winter, if you go smaller the brake calipers will hit most aftermarket wheels

[@JCGible]

@supermazda3 Its a Select Sport Hatchback with 215/45R18 tires Standard for the 2024 models. Im thinking for winter driving a smaller rim with higher sidewall all season. What do you think? 🤔

[@supermazda3]

@@JCGible yes & the ride will be much smoother

[@waszkreslem9306]

Are there any lighter aftermarket brakedisks that you can recommend?

[@supermazda3]

I haven't looked into lighter brake disk because it will likely have worse heat dissipation

[@waszkreslem9306]

​@@supermazda3 thanks for replying, are there any benefits from upgrading OEM brake disks?

[@TheXrader123]

Yes. Stoptech rotors and z23 pads have proven great

[@spookazz]

Perfect timing, I just picked up some Mazdaspeed x Rays forged rims for my 3rd Gen. Gonna mount them when the weather cleans up a bit. Same specs as OEM and weigh the same as rpf1s too. 🫡

[@supermazda3]

You'll definitely feel that!
