My finish Rx3
#27
You can install even use a 20 or whatever but the problem is that you cant go too low. old school RX are not designed for 17" or larger. I prefer lowered cars than the 4x4 look. But that is just my honest opinion.

What is Esp 15" or 16".
I was on a Aus web site and this guy is helping me with find some rims.I was to late on
buying his rims he had for sale by a week but he told me go to ROH rims and check them out they will make and sell rims that will fit are Mazda we have here in the US.All I need is you to find me the offset,hub bore size you use on your Rx3.
Do you like to go in with me on buying rims maybe we can get a better deal if we buy more than one set.
Go to ROH rims.com
look under 3 piece
check out the Dragmag or Venturo I like to go in front 16x7 and rear 16 or 17x8.5 with nice size lip on the rear rims.
I am buying a set for my Rx3 and when I get a Rx2 (looking 2 buy 1)I will install them on that car I need to get the rims ASAP.
I hope this year I can install a front and rear big brake system with a ford 8.8 373 LSD and go with a 5x114.3
I still have 8 month to do this and start all over on the rims

I know all my boys in the club are telling me that I am nuts to sell my Rx3.I look over a yr 1/2 to find one and the one I found was only 10 min from my house and the car is mint with no rush anywere.My wife and kids tell me to keep it so I am.I am looking for a Rx3 wagon for my 15 year daughter.She likes the wagon and I will like to give it to here for 16th birthday.Thank god my boy are still little.If I have to look for two more Rx3 that will be hard and I will go broke with the price that they are going for now.LOL

Sweet ride... Can't wait to see it in person.
And you are 100% correct Carlos.. $2500 was an insult to you and every other Rx3 owner
$2500 barely covered the cost for my taillights and side mirrors

This my 1973 with 58,000 mile that I had the car repainted to Oe color.The car is about 90% stock,the only thing not stock is the engine and the paint.The engine is a 85 6 port new from the dealer with 10,000 miles with webers and headers.I got the car last Oct and when over all the brakes replacing all the brakes new front calipers,rotors,rear brake shose and wheel cylinder.
thinks on selling it,what do you think I can get for it..

Man a rx3 this clean needs to stay stock like it is setup. The only thing I would do is add some 15" mesh rims and tint the windows. Everything else is perfect! No turbo needed, or motor swap. Get you another shell and do that. Not to many super clean stock setups left.

The color of my Rx3 is Galac Silver Met. B5.

I told you the paint code of the color of my car it i
B5 B5 B5 B5
the best way do not buy it on line.if you buy paint on line and the color is wrong what do you do with all the paint you have.Best thing to do is buy it from a car paint store so if the color is wrong you can return it.GOOD LUCK!

Alright, B5 it is. Galan Silver Metallic. Will do that locally in case I get a wrong paint.
Thank you Carlos. Will show you some pics in a couple months when I get done with the car
EDIT: Couple questions, how many clear coats did you apply to your car ? Which paint type you used:
Acrylic Enamel. Acrylic Urethane, Acrylic Lacquer, Urethane Basecoat ???
Thanks again.
