i thought going up one inch would give better grip and i like dark rims. my car is silver and the silver alloy rim does not look that good.
and i love the mazda 6 gun metal rim (dark colored rim).
this is the reason why i wanted to change.
if i buy an non oem rim i wont sell off my original oem rims so i think need to fork out more for the lighter non oem rims
i thought pushing my oem and getting another oem rim in return.
my tyres are still new (10 months old car only)

but i am confuse whether is it worth it or not. thats y wanted ask what you guys think about it

Stick with 18 and get wider non OEM rims, like maybe 225 or 235 and a good set of rubber..
Going 19 doesn't mean u would get better grip if the rubbers aren't on par and it's pretty expensive..

Have to agree with you on the comfort and ease of use of EPB. Furthermore it saves space plus other clever stuff like auto hill brake, auto release, etc etc etc that make driving much much easier. When I test-drove cars that have them, wowwwww veli nice  thumbup.gif

I'm just not convinced yet with the reliability. I have family members and older friends with upscale German cars that had the EPBs suddenly rosak out of the blue.

However this is a move in the right direction for Mazda IMO. In 5-10 years it will probably become a standard feature. Just I don't trust the tech yet for at least 5 years. Same with GVC. Wait for the public 'beta testers' first for them to make the tech more reliable and more importantly, cheaper hehe rclxms.gif

Hopefully I'm wrong about the EPB reliability (this is Mazda we're talking about, reliable brand)...we'll see.

As far as i know.. GVC is a software, not a tech.. As long as the software has been written well, it will be fine..

Are you sure it's merely a software? I thought the hardware would be integrated with it like a firmware.

If you watch the GVC test video.. In the Mazda 6, there's a ON / OFF switch for the GVC so the drivers are able to test with and without GVC..
