Since some have upgraded to RX-8 wheels, why not take it a step further and see if the Speed6 wheels fit.

Probably because a lot of people on here have extreme hate toward the Speed6 wheels. I think they look awesome on the car, but dunno how they would be on a Protege5.

the ms6 wheels are fugly!!

I cant wait until i get my mp3 wheels painted or powdercoated. They'll look way better then my thrashed and trashed polished stockers. the original owner killed the things...they're real nasty looking up close.

That looks pretty damn good, I must say.

Im more in favor of Custome Rims, but those work well.

Very nice indeed.

The MP5 is just such a sexy car, all the other wheels look good on it, some of them look tons better than the aftermarket alternatives for sure.

Which of these mazda factory wheels weigh the least?

"Custome Rims" with no drop?

If I recall correctly the stock P5 wheel (a 16") is 16lbs or so, so it's definitely the lightest between the Protege5, MSP, MP3, Mazda3, Mazda6, and RX-8 wheels.

So what? .... (There is a reason for that, The tires I got are too big, and were way to worn when I realized there was an issue, I dont have another 700$ on top of the $700 I dropped on the Pirellis I still have)

Would you do a drop with 225/45/17 tires? I didnt think so.


& Yeah, custome rims are better then factory rims, because every Tom, Dick, & Harry who has a Mazda wont have the same damn s***, but those do look nice.

Moving on....

depending on your offset, it could work just fine

Anyone put 16x6.5" Mazda3 wheels on a P5. They're not bad looking at all:

 

[Crazy D]

wow (shocked) ... there is nothing better than getting a example of what your car would look like ....

That looks sweet...

I think those rims would look real good on the P5. Or even better, the Mazda6 alloy 16's.

damn those are cool, I've been thinking about buying some stock 16s. I'm guessing those are the same bolt pattern right? (5x114.3) I wonder how much the dealer would charge or maybe I should start a WTB thread.

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

Crazy
