Have been looking to buy new wheels for my cx9 and finally decided on staying with 20 in diameter. I wanted to keep the ride, handling and gas mileage close to stock as that is where the cx9 excels. I also want to keep it for a while so hey, lets do like Mazda is planning and make it look upmarket. I think it worked out good...yes, 21s or 22s would look cool, but i think with the Vossen 20's it complements the CX9 styling well and it actually rides better! The rims are 9 in wide (Which has improved turning response and road feel through the steering wheel) vs the stock 8 and a half and tires are the same stock tire spec 255 50series Michelin Premier LTX's i had on the stock rims, 20,000 miles on them. Wheels are 38 offset so they stick out a little bit more than stock. Wheel have machined edges that you really cant see in pics. Also, i am at 90,000 miles now, new engine has 24,000 trouble free miles on it so far and runs great...First brakejob at 86,000 miles....
