MS3 Owners: Show us your wheels

Im actually on H&R Coilovers, the only reason for it to be so high is because I did all the work when I went home on leave and did not had time to roll my rear fenders so I left it on as high as I could in the mean time, but I will be rolling my fenders as soon as I get home in the summer, and I wouldnt be able to have the 8.5 +45 offset with the stock suspension, the oem spring base plate is so wide it would had rub on top of the tire everytime it compress.
Oh by the way your ride looks sick on those white wheels!!!
You should get them, here is the link

They look good!! But how are you liking the tires?
I put a set on my wife's Vibe a while back and after that couldn't wait to get a set on my 3. I'm running 225/45-17's on 17x7 +50's, lowered on H&R springs w/no issues.
I don't think they would be the winning factor on track day, but for a DD tire I LOVE 'em. Best wet/light snow traction I have EVER gotten w/this car after 4 sets!! Now to see how well they hold up.
If I can get 25-30k out of 'em, I'm going back for more. I've only ever managed to get around 20k out of a set on this car. That gets old after a while.

I havent put enough miles on the tires yet, but so for I like them, between the change from 7.5 to 8.5 width, the tires and the suspension the torque steer went away it only wants to go forward not left and right, and on the rain I was worry that the width addition was gonna make the car hydroplane but no it doesnt at all it feels more planted to the ground, I managed to pull around 30K out of the OEM tires, I dont do many burn outs or auto X for that matter so I guess as long as I rotate and keep alligned I dont see why wouldnt I get 30K again
Thanks mad'dam, those wheels look great on the MS3Looks like im going to track down a 4th wheel for my speed3

the MS6 wheels look good, only thing is that they have the same unfortunate specs as the stock MS3 wheels.
I don't know, I think 17s look better than 18s if they're accompanied with a beefy tire.
17x8.5 +40
Both looks good but what lip is that (white ms3)?
I have a few pictures that I took of a friend's Sunlight Silver MS3 with MS6 wheels on it:
Hey Lara, what lip is that on the 2nd MS3 in the first picture?
Tiger, that's some serious meat on those wheels in the 2nd picture.......Also, where did you get that front mustache without the holes for the license plate? My local dealer wants $40 for that piece but I could have worn that I've seen it for cheaper on here. Someone posted a link to some place online that was selling for like $23

I forgot. I got it from Mazda with the motorsport discount. lol. Actually, the plate isn't even on yet. You just can't see the holes clearly in those pics. When the plate was removed, I pushed the part that stuck out and tried to cover most of the hole. Maybe that's why.
