MS3 Owners: Show us your wheels

[Yoo Shin]

^ DANG what size wheels and tires? Looks HAWT.

 

[ericrapp]

Looks about perfect. height, gap, tire choice and color for your car. oh, and location!

They are 18x8 +45 on stock rubber. Hopefully Ill be able to fit 235's in the future.

No photos to share but I have stock wheels with a custom asbestos powder coating.

yep, and they are removable with soap and water... but they just keep coming back... i usually don't even wash my wheels every time i wash my car

The 8s will handle the 235 tire just fine with the correct offset from spring. I wanted the 235 way back when I was choosing but I was shy of the rear fender rolling with my planned springs[Cobb]. Now i have sticky tire and do not need more than 225 for my horsepower. The 235 does look a bit meaner though.

Gotta vote for the black car with the silver Volk TEs.

Also liked the Tenzo wheels, for a money saving alternative.

The stockers look sweet with those custom center caps, too.

What is the offset for those wheels. They look damn good.

 

[truredspeed3]

They are a 45 offset.

pretty wheels...ugly tires

Like the man said, don't know if RX-8s count as aftermarket. I looked at a lot of wheels and could not find any I liked better. Closest was an Enkei LM/1 The tires are Yokohama YK520s 225/45x18

IMO, that look belongs on the cars in the garage and not the car in the driveway. Doesnt really compliment the look of the car. Now if that's a track/auto-x set up I think that's awesome... but for a DD no.

Just my opinion though, take it for what it is.

 

[08CWP_SoCal_MS3]

Those XD-9s are looking good on SS.

 

[SHAGwagn]

rx-8 wheels imo.. are UGLY they should stay on the RX8! seen some rx8 powder coated gold on a cbm speed3 and looked like s*** seen them on a red speed3 and i cant stand that look

couldnt a been mine...cuz my ms3 looks better than urs with ur two thousand dollar wheels any day of the week (IMHO of course )

sorry to burst your bubble. Maybe after a drop or so, 2000 dollar wheels dont put u at the top of the hill.

you have 9" width and only running 235 tire??why??

 

[mr_mazda329]

How about these RPF1's? On White. And only 15lbs for a 17x8 +45

I'm currently running them on the Miata. They are very light and very strong.

 

[CWPspeed3]

Why are a lot of people running 17" rims on MS3s?

 

[mr_mazda329]

Weight savings and moneys savings on tires.
