I'll agree and say that 17s look nice...on a lowered car but have to disagree about the 15s. I like the look of the car with the meatier tire as well. Not my car but what I found using a quick search...Tein S-techs with 205/50/15s. I also know that Khaosman ran a 15" for auto x as do some other guys.

Or if you wanted to get all crazy you could run 14's for dd. I run them for my winter set-up, 14x5.5 Eclipse steelies with 185/70/14 tires lowered on Tein S-techs and Tokico HPs

Yes this is what im looking for, this is a rota slip 15x8 +40 offset on a 205 50 15 im just wondering how come the black cars wheels poke out a little more then the silver one, maybe just spacers or?

Looks like the offset places the tires farther out. The lip is deep compared to the Protege5 factory rim.

so 15's will fit?

I'm looking for a setup for the strip - and know where to find a set of 15" wheels w/ slicks that'll bolt on right now.

15" will fit.
The rims need to have the proper bolt pattern, 5 x 114.3, and Mazda hub-centric rings.

I'm thinking the same. Lower offset will push the wheels out further.

Yes indeed, see the pics I posted and 14's will fit too, just have to watch the caliper clearance.

15" will fit.

No rings needed if you find a set with the same 67.1mm hub bore.

Nice! im wondering if you had to roll your fenders? did you have to put wheel spacers in? thanks

I didn't roll them originally, no spacers.

But the rears do rub slightly without a roll. (at that height) If i raised it a 1/4th an inch it would be fine I believe

Thanks for the info, really nice car
