<TABLE class=tborder cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=6 width="100%" align=center border=0><TBODY><TR vAlign=top><TD class=alt1>I have a Dilemma so please help. I am going to be ordering rims at the end of the month and springs also. $700 is pretty much my limit for rims and tires.

I can get the following:
1) RX8 rims with tires that fit the P5 shipped for $700. ~SOLD~

2) These with tires for $599 shipped.

Keep in mind my car is Red and going with Black accents. I am really leaning to the 3rd option. Just want to know what everyone else thinks. Thankyou.

I definitely like the looks of the RX-8 wheels' 5-spokes better than those pictured. Those wheels kind of have a cheap feel to them according to my eyes....but my wheel opinions have never mixed with the general populous.

RXHusker · Aug 14, 2004

I can't believe the prices you quoted. $700 for stock RX-8 Wheels + tires + mounted? Are these used wheels and tires? Used 8 rims without tires, etc. go for $500.

IMO the two black choices look really cheap. The stock 8 wheels look good -- the black chrome 8 wheels would look killer on your red P5 but they are $1000 before tires, mounting and shipping (and that's with the current 20% off Mazda parts).

The best looking reasonably priced black 5 spokes I have seen are the Axis Hiro's.

protegeV · Aug 14, 2004

all depends on what tires come with the RX8 rims...

the other two will come with the SHITTIEST tires for that price...

ttlkaos · Aug 16, 2004

i say the 3rd set of rims would look the best, but then again, i'm a huge fan of black rims w/ a polished lip. i want a set for my car, but i like the rims on my car and want performance, performance, and performance first. then i'll think about that stuff.

1 PHAT 5 · Aug 16, 2004

Well, the RX-8 rims where with tires for the p5, basically new, but someone bought them from him off of E-bay. The other 2 wheels are what I am left with, unless I see someing else in my price range that I like. Again I am going with primarily a black rim prefferably with a polished lip. As far as what tires come with them, they can't be any worse that what comes on the 5 stock, so I am not to worried about it cause its almost winter. Next summer I can buy some good tires.

Again, I appreaciate everyones input. Thankyou.

MazdaManic5 · Aug 16, 2004

I would say the bottom ones. they are adr spades right? They look tits in person. The stereo west at 144th has white ones, or had. I saw them there.

mountjonas · Aug 17, 2004

anyone know what tires wheelsnext gives out on their package deals? - i'm guessing nankangs.

protegeV · Aug 17, 2004

that or wanli....el cheapo

BigBallin · Aug 17, 2004

are nankangs cheapo tires?

1 PHAT 5 · Aug 17, 2004

Nankangs are cheap but still decent for the price. Really though not that big of a deal since I will get new tires next summer. Just need something to roll on for now. Not like I am going racing or anything anytime soon. After the turbo, I'll race. LOl

1 PHAT 5 · Aug 17, 2004

Oh and the Turbo is after the Engine rebuild.

ttlkaos · Aug 17, 2004

ya know if you want to, you could buy the third sets of rims and trade me straight up for my rims!!! that's a great idea, what do ya say...?

1 PHAT 5 · Aug 17, 2004

(silly) LOL, well if I wanted MSP rims I would, but sorry, thinking I am going witht the 3rd set. You could though sell your rims on here and do the same. Pretty sure they would sell fast.

Good choice my friend, itll look nice. Make sure to get 48 offset.

1 PHAT 5 · Aug 18, 2004

Will do. I can't wait to get it lowered with nice rims.

UPDATE: Due to having to get new insurance and registration, my car funds are depleted this month. Also, the rims I wanted are no longer sold on that website. There are no other rims that I must have at this point plus winter is right around the corner so I am going to wait on this till next summer. I am going to get it lowered in a month, hopefully, and get tires to get me through winter.
Plus i can spend money on other things I want done too, like tint, exhaust, finish my interior.

Can anyone suggest a good all-season tire thats not to pricey ( brand, price and where to get them? The p5 comes with 195/50 I think, will the p5 rim take a 205/45/16 or is it 205/50/16 as a replacement?

Off topic, but do you go to UNO? There is a black MSP here and I was just wondering if it was you.

I would GUESS that the 205/45/16 would be a better replacement, seems like it would keep the overall diameter closer than the 205/50/16.
