Does anyone have Mazda3 Rims on there P5 ?

just looks silly, that's all

I dont think so, I think it looks like a Protege on 17's that hasnt been dropped YET (and for good reason) You would have to be pretty immature to think something like that is "Silly", whats "Silly" are your comments....

depending on your offset, it could work just fine

Big Deal. And If they Rub now what moron would drop her anyways? Like I said she is not dropped for a reason, with my offset they DONT fit, simple as that. Its pretty ******* irrelevant that "depending on your offset, it could work just fine" Because with my offset they dont work fine......

But Nate, c'mon man, are you not above this petty BS? Lets Just move on..

300+ each... I called for the ones I want.... when the guy said 345.00 each...I had to laugh

Crazy

wow...thats insane. I got my rotas for about 150 each. I guess I'm going to be looking in the for sale section. Oh yea Kansei I just want some 16s for the track and have the 17s for the street haha! I would like to find these mazda 3 rims , powdercoat them all black mica to match the car and put some reall nice tires on them. Eventually i want to sell my tein s-tech springs and get a coilover kit and lower the car more evenly.

^^ why not some P5 16s? I hear they are lightweight (16lbs?)

I just traded my friend with a p5 for my mazda3 rims. Ive got some torques coming and wanted new tires, and I am planing to use the p5 wheels for winter wheels. Deal worked out well for me, I got p5 wheels and Brand new kumho asx's for my stock wheels and stock tires.

I painted them gunmetal and made a little chrome lip too. looks eh alright.

MX5 rims on the MP5

anyone know if there are any offset issues with using '06 miata wheels on the MP5?

 

[WetsuitxNinja]

The mx5 wheels are in high demand by the 3 ppl, so im sure they will fit your car. Good luck finding them though, some guys have even bought them from the dealerships (ouch).

And yes, I got the smaller wheels for winter trips up to bear. I figured if I dropped my car alittle the smaller wheels and smaller tires would give me alittle more clearance for chains... I definately have a bigger gap w\ the p5 16's. Its a different look that im kinda liking too.... I left a small chrome lip, just to see if I could, it actually came out kinda cool.

I'm in luck, my friend is getting different wheels for his MX5 "play" car and offered these to me for a good price. I just don't want to destroy the calipers/rotors or fender wells. They should look pretty good.

[Kansei]

on a Protege5 I guarantee they'll look awesome..(first)

Are the 16" rims on my p5 stock? I saw another one yesterday with 14's in a totally different Mazda wheel...

/\/\/\
That's mine...His were older and the spokes were wider looking! Just wondering..

 

[nate0123]

his must have been off of a mx-6 or something
