I can straight up trade my rims (top) for these (bottom). Mine are in HARD SHAPE now and need to be refinished. Thoughts?

those are primax 618s ... look cool in motion, but are one HEAVY wheel. i had them on my mx3

i say no, since they dont look all that great sitting still and are not a performance rim..... not good enough for your car

Am I the only one who likes your current wheels more? I just don't like how bland and weird-looking the other ones are. I guess I'm just a sucker for 5-spoke designs.

Common on a MX-3? Not really. I prefer them because they don't look like a K'nex set. Just my opinion.

I've always liked the look of those FOCAL wheels(current).Not fond of the finish color,but I would stick with what you have.IMO

I think trading would be a pretty lateral move appearance wise, but I would prefer the new ones over your current ones. Neither set really floats my boat though.

Ya, that type of spoked rim looks like what's common out there; there's varieties of it, but they're all basically the same in my books, and not just on an Mx-3, but anything.

Franko's old rims gave it that distinct "it's Franko's Mx-3" look, because it's so cleanly done, it's one of the new features that makes it unique. Those new rims make it look too generic of an mx-3.

Keep the current ones, powdercoat them though.
