18's, I think. They might be a tad big on your 3.

SOLD

- OEM Mazdaspeed6 Alloy Wheels with Stock Bridgestone Potenza RE050A, used (I estimate around 3000 to 5000 miles left).
- 18x7 ET50 (+50mm offset) 5x114.3
- 215/45/ZR18 for the tires
- Included: all lug nuts including factory wheel locks + key
- Price: For SS, I'll sell them for $450 + shipping. (Shipping is around $150 to $200, depending on where you live). This is $100 off what I am asking for on Mazda6Club.

Individual Wheel Details:
Wheel#1 - No visible damage.
Wheel#2 - ~2" curb rash, cosmetic (shown in picture)
Wheel#3 - No visible damage.
Wheel#4 - "" ""

Pictures:
All 4 wheels with Identification

Tread left to intermediate wearbar

Finally, all 4 wheels individually (in order)

John you should get these!
The tires are 3% too big (215/40/18 would be best) but that doesnt really matter. These would be unique. I havent seen a single Mz3 with these. And for the price, its a real bargain!

Bolt pattern and offset is perfect!

Tire size would be a non-issue since they have to be replaced soon anyway.

There is one concern for me if John gets these, however. Any indications an 18x7 wheel would rub in a Mazda3? It is fine for an MS3, but the fenders are wider on it.

Also, these are probably a little heavier than John's stock wheels.

darn I think the offset is wrong for my Civic, but I'm not sure.

haha

Been kicking around the idea of replacing my stock 16s, be kind of funny to be driving a Honda with Mazda wheels on it.

You'd become a target for ricers... Every ricer would either go "Damn brotha, dat's some mad tyte sh!t. Now you gots to get some NOS and new paint & sh!t, yo!" or "Mazda wheels?! WTF is your problem? HONDA FOREVER, beehotch!"

I, however, think that's a neat idea.

However, hubcentricity is an issue...

I don't remember where the thread is, (or when it was, for that matter) about the wheel bolts breaking off... Wrong bolts, in that case, but hubcentricity still matters...

I just double checked the specs on putting 18s on my car.. the offset is only 7mm different, which wouldn't really be a problem, but I'd need 215/40/R18 not 45, so my speedometer would be wrong at best and they would rub the wheel well at worst.

I have some Honda center caps that don't fit my wheels, wonder if they would have fit the Mazdas. Moot point, regardless.

They do fit... People put RX-8 rims on and those are MUCH wider than 7"

^ Yeah, they are 18x8.

Okay, let's wait and see if John wants them. Hope he makes a decision soon, I'm starting to get offers from Mazda6Club.

Here's an indication of how they might look:

With John's actual Mz3:
