2002 P5, 2003 P5, MP3, MSP, M3 (16" or 17") M6, RX-8..etc

I'm looking to buy the Mazda 3 wheels (17")...but recently I saw a P5 with MP3 wheels and I said to myself ..wow.

MP3 wheels are harder to find though.
 
I personally like the RX-8 (18") and 6 (17") wheels.

also the stock 03 wheels are great looking as well.

what color p5 are we talking about? Throw up some pics. Some wheels look better with different colors and mods than others.
 
17" Mazda6 wheels look great, as Kansei said.

16" Mazda3 wheels looks amazing as well in my opinion. I've only seen one like that, though.

Keep in mind that as mazda owners, we think it makes a world of difference, but if you ask some civic owner they will probably tell you all the mazda 5 spokes look the same.
 
I'm actually getting ready to sell my set of MP3 wheels but I need to bring home 2 of them from work before I can get pics up. They are currently painted a flat gold/bronze with red center caps but someone could repaint them whatever color they wanted for less than $30. They also have a set of virtually brand new 215/45/17 Falken Ziex's on them.

If you're interested, shoot me a PM and we can talk. I'd be willing to accept stock 02 P5 wheels + cash in trade for them as well.

probably pretty sick but only the 06-07 MX-5 wheels have the same bolt pattern as a P5 (2005 and before were 4-luggers). I work at a Mazda dealership and I wonder the same thing everytime I walk by one of the new MX-5's.
 
I like my 17" M6 wheels :D

yea, i know, it would look awesome, do you know if they will fit the p5 w/o rolling fenders?

and yea, i mean the 10 spoke 06/07
 
I think the speed6 wheels might look nice, but I don't know of anyone who has them on a p5 so I could be horribly wrong.
 
speed6 rims would be nice but they're 18's right? So you'd be incredibly limited in tire sidewall and width choices, even after rolling the fenders...
 
I have a set of Mazda 6 17" sitting in my porch cause i cant afford to buy a set of tires to mount them... and it's driving me crazy.

My faves would be the 03.5 MSP, RX-8, MP3, Mazda6 17", Mazda3 16" (have only seen one person with those). I have been wondering what the MS3 rims would look like on the P5.

I decided to go a different route and choose some '05 Tribute rims...

proper fitment depends on the offset. I'm pretty sure the hub bore wouldn't be a problem and if the offset of the MX-5 wheel is in the range of +48 to +55 then they should fit with some 215/40/17's and no rubbing or fender rolling necessary.

Maybe I'll just yank a wheel off a new MX-5 and a wheel off my car just to see it the MX-5 wheels would fit.
