Black on black MS6.....Rim Suggestions?

The black wheels don't do anything for me, makes the car look cheap IMO. Cosmetics on a vehicle are always personal taste anyway it doesn't matter what we think. I personally like the sleeper look this car has, I would pick a wheel that didn't make the car look modded.

I'd personally keep the stock rims. I think they look really good... and will be great with the mods you have planned.
Mazkid,
The rx8 rims require rolling the rear fenders on the 6 for fitment. All 8 inch wide wheels require it. The tire impacts the top fender lip otherwise and this type of damage occurs.
The 6club's are full of owners who will loudly proclaim that tires/wheels fit without rubbing, then turn around and rent a fender roller the next week when their tires look like this.
The A-spec wheels (mazdaspeed) are 18x7.5 but also extremely heavy and overpriced. They weigh in at a whopping 25 lbs. I won't get into the pricing of the rx8 mazdaspeed rims, the pricing is so rediculous most people s*** a brick when they hear it.
Both rims are made by other companies then "labeled" with mazdaspeed...so it is possible to get the designs significantly easier.
If your looking for a similar design to the rx8 speed rim, check out the GT2's by SSR.

Furthermore since I've seen a Mazda 6 with RX-8 wheels I know that you won't have to roll the fenders or anything stupid like that. They didn't scrape at all.
If these came in black, I would like them alot better.

Thanks DE31. That s*** is badass. I especially like the second pic with the lowered stance. I think that those rims really compliment the overall look. I appreciate your photochop skills brother.
