New wheels what should i go with?

I don't know anything about bolt pattern's but i'm sure since they are listed for the mazdaspeed6 that they will fit. i'd say call and ask just to make sure.

You want 5-114.3. I wouldn't trust Discount Tire to know.
 
I agree, i don't like wheels that are too busy like the original ones that comes on the speed, my friends all say i shouldn't change them and that they look sweet but i don't like them lol I like a nice 5 or 6 spoke simple smooth design with no crap like the fake bolts or anything something along the lines of these...


 
it all depends on 2 things: style + budget. for me, i wish i could have gotten the real BBS wheels but 3000+ is a bit much to drop on just wheels alone. but i liked the style. so (as the broke college student that i am) i went with the reps from the same company that makes the wheel pictured above. i can vouch that Drag wheels quality is fine for the $500 price for all 4 wheels shipped. only thing is i did the JDM no center cap thing bc the center caps do look cheap.


this was my inspiration:

here is the comparison:

I think the rx8 wheels are so simple and sexy on a 6.

I bought a set just before winter started. I need to find some rubber to wrap them in, but they look great on the MS6. Solidtrance has his RX8 wheels on his wife's MS6.

a little late there? winter is almost over. if you are considering selling those wheels let me know when you are.
 
Actually I took the off and put the back on the 8. I couldn't stand not driving my car any longer. I have no patience....Oh well. I don't think I took any pics, but it did look good, and the rims are 1 inch wider so you can easily go as wide as 245's if you want too.

Really??, whats the best size to go with for the 8 wheels? right now i'm running 225/40/18 Federal Super Steel 595
 
225, 235 or 245 will all work with different degrees of stretching. 235 would be good, but is sort of an odd size and some tires are not offered in that size.
