sweet! you should see if a local member can pick them up and save you some $$ on shipping...125 is high! if you have boxes, ups is ~10/wheel

Agreed. Get a Georgia member to pick them up for you and ship them.

nice find though, I bet they'll look really nice on the P5 (pretty much any Mazda wheel looks nicer on the P5 than it does on the car it was made for haha)

 

[whitemp5seattle]

good idea about the shipping thing...I'll ask around during my lunch break...thanks!

Congrats! I was watching the same auction. Can't wait for pics....have been wondering what these would look like on the P5.

 

[ho bag]

If you took out every other spoke they would look amazing!

 

[CTt3P5]

^^^Don't need to remove them....just paint the inset spokes body color. However I don't think white and silver spokes would look good....maybe black and silver on a white car????

 

[Kansei]

oh wow I never considered that.. painted one of the "sets" of spokes a dark color.. that could look amazing! you could do it on the MS6 wheels too, since they are sorta a splie 5 spoke with another 5 spoke layered on top of it.

Post up in the GA section. Most of those guys are in ATL, perhaps one of them will help you out. I'm a bit far out from there, or I'd offer.

I don't think these will even fit on the regular Mazda 3...According to some of the "redesign" information...They have new fenders and/or panels to allow this size rim to fit......Good Luck Tho...

 

[Blake]

might have a problem with the brakes only thing i can foresee. They are 52 offset :-/ don't go upgrading the brakes any time soon!

rofl don't scare people like that!

I think the MS3 wheels are the size and specs of the RX-8 wheels, no?.. wait no I think the rx-8 wheels are an inch wider, even better. I know some people have tires rub on their struts running rx-8 wheels on the p5, but really small spacers solve that problem.

 

[Blake]

im running 7.5 with a 45 offset on my 18's and I have no problems.

Make sure that you buy 215/35/18

 

[Kansei]

ok so 12mm more wheel width (6mm on each side of center) and your offset is 7mm farther out.. so he should have 1mm more clearance between wheel and strut and a lot more clearance between the wheel and fender. I don't think it'll be an issue. People can run RX-8 wheels (a full inch wider, but I think the same offset so that's like half an inch closer to the fenders AND struts) without rolling fenders, just needed really small spacers in the back.
