Itching to customize my 2013 Mazda5

[zoomies100]

That helps a lot @theblooms. I'm deciding between the RX-8 wheels (with no tires) and the Mazda3 wheels with tires. I'm leaning towards the RX-8. I don't love how all new rims are dark grey or black and the RX-8 ones are a plain silver. Also, that would mean that I could get the 225/40s right away

@theblooms the I may have missed the boat on the RX-8 wheels As another option I can buy 18" Mazda 3 wheels (link). Would they also go with 225/40?

Enjoy your time with customizing it, it's a great way to get familiar with the car.
I'm not sure what your goals are but something to consider, >18" rims without any lowering leaves odd looking wheel gap due to the low profile tires. Not sure if you are aware but the MS3/RX8/(any car) rims have different styles for different model years.

Sucks you missed the RX-8 wheels, they look SO good. But yup, those MZ3 wheels will also work! If you can find some, Mazdaspeed3 wheels look really good, too.

Yeah - the guy was saying those RX-8 wheels are immaculate... Oh well.

Looks are subjective but that isn’t it.

FYI, that looks like it has rubber stems so you’ll need to buy TPMS sensors and pay to RE mount/balance all tires.
