M3 Style, have you seen a Mazda version?

You will have difficulty finding something similar. First of all, our cars are high offset so most rims will not be near as flush as those (unless they were made for a specific offset).
Plus, there seems to be a black center to the split spokes (I can't tell if its painted, machined, or simply because of the black background), which is hard to recreate and most rims are usually a solid color with a possibility of a polished/colored lip.
If you want a 10 spoke, check out the Wedsport tc-105n.
BBS may also be a good company to check out as there wheels line is practically all multispoke/mesh

Good call on the BBS's, I'm not sure they do Japanese hub sizes, will have a look. The Wedssports aren't quite what I'm after.
Is this the Enkei you were thinking of(http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Whee...alse&filterBrand=All&filterNew=All&sort=Brand)

please give names for the rims you are posting!
As for the BBS, they don't carry anything really thats +50. but the 18x7.5s will fit in +40 and +45mm, that covers a few good ones their.
If you move to 18x8+40s, I would be careful you will probably rub on anything higher than 225/40-45.
As for using tirerack to find wheels, try using these 3 other cars
2007 Mazda RX-8 sport
2007 Honda Civic Si
2007 Mitsu. Eclipse GT

ok, bolt pattern wise BBS does have it in our bolt pattern. as a matter of fact the 5x114.3 is pretty common.
Our center bore is 67.1mm which is bigger than most, but the Rx-8 and mitsu. i suggested have the same bore so if you order from Tirerack, you will get your hub centric rings for free AND they will fit.
most tuner bores at 73ish i think atleast enkei +motegi (tracklite specifically) run that.

any of the big japanese wheel companies like work or volk will make custom offsets for your car. so if your into spending the big bucks. any of the wheels they sell you can get in our offset. you just have to wait awhile. the 240sx guys are always custom ordering wheels in outrageous negative offsets
Those look great!(humpleg)Stumbled upon these...not a bad look...

I think those are actually the same wheel. They have the groove every other spoke that goes all the way to the center, they are 10 spoke. All that is missing is the BMW badge and they'd look identical.
They're only 18lbs each for 19x8.5 (I imagine a decent bit lighter at the correct wheel size) according to this thread:

Seems they aren't made anymore. The original price used to be insane too. If you found them you'd probably be paying upwards of $1500-$2000 (just my guess) to get them off of somebody used, if only because of how rare they are. There is another type of wheel you can get. It's for the Audi S4. Not sure if they will fit your car as I don't know the wheel sizings for the MS3's, but here is the link to their site.

Down towards the bottom there is a similar style of wheel. Those are another hard wheel to find. Apparently you can get them at only 6 stores in the US (according to the site).

discount tire only has them in 19x8.5 which i am 95% sure will rub. I have seen 18x8.5 work and I have seen 19x8 work, but i doubt the 19x8.5 will fit.
I am sure if you call discount tire they can special order the size you want, but expect to wait a few weeks and probably pay alot in shipping.
