Not mine but pretty wild, definitely not everyones style.... but the guys got some balls for doing this.
Over done and pointless.
I've never understood the people that like the stretched look, like this.
I'd rather see a wheel that's tucked with a beef tire than a set of wheels with overly stretched cheap tires.
Function before Form.

^ agreed. the car looks great. it's just the wheel/tire fitment that looks like s***.

It looks like someone hangs out with the drifters! But you can't rock a stretch like that unless you're slammed with business-card flushness (like the rears), ate up body panels, and zip-ties stickin out like whiskers all over the place! Then the set up would truly be at home.
But as said above, tucked with some mean rubber suits the Speed3 much better than the 1988 Maxima look

Nope, stock MS3 tires.
Car: 2007 Mazdaspeed 3
Wheel: Work Emotion CR Kai Matte Gunmetal
Size: 18 x 7.5 x +42 mm offset.
Tire: Mounted stock (original) Bridgestone Potenza's on them. They were sitting in my garage for almost 3 years. New TPMS sensors (Orange) seem to work fine as well.
Lug Nuts: Muteki spline drive lug nuts, blue.
Calipers: Blue G2 caliper paint system.
I'll take some better pics in daylight. Just finished it tonight.

IMHO, there's too much wheel and not enough tire there. Respectable wheel choice, nevertheless.
Agreed! Nice wheels, but if you're going with that wide a wheel, expect to get tire that matches.
Sorry, but that reminds me of the "roller-skates" made popular in the '90's. Worry about your tires choice before worrying about a "drop."
On the other hand I like the lip/splitter, as well as he wheels.

Agreed. Nice wheel and color and everything, looks awesome! But needs a 235 at least.

you are going to curb those things in no time at all.
Those 11rs are sweet! It look way better with a low drop though 
Usually Id defend you but... all the people saying go wider tire are somewhat correct here. If you had a more aggressive offset I would say stick with that size, however, you don't so a 235 would really complete the look.
Im still jealous of the wheels

i could understand 225s if the wheels were lower offset and/or the ride height was lower. would help the tires fit under the fender. but with that setup i'd also like to see more meat on them bones!
