They are a bit more expensive then your average wheel ... but they are very light (and they look good !). 15.2 pounds per wheel !
This is the price for 17x7 at tiretrends is $324 CAN
You cab also go on www.wheelspecs.com/ and search for wheels.
Just remember you will need at least 45mm offset for the P5.

i found this for you-- off a suby talk page -- this is what one member had to say about the wheels you asked about -------

Man the black rims on a silver car with dark tinted windows looks freakin sweet. These things fit great with the 1" drop from the STI springs.
18x7.5x45mm offset. Very flush fit with no rubbing no matter how hard I tried. 225/40/18's Bfg Scorchers. Don't know how good these tires are, pretty much came in a package deal, but they feel freakin wonderfull compared to stock.
Stock smooth ride, a little noisier at 80 on the freeway, much better turn in and handling, strong grip with no more front tire spin at launch. For you guys that got bigger better tires, did you notice that the brakes feel much stronger now. They always felt a little spongey when stopping from anything over 55mph. The initial bite of the brakes feel a little better, and overall stopping had a nice noticable improvement, with the car feeling a lot more stable!
Downside, the rims and tires weight 6lbs more than the factory. Factory was 37lbs, these are 43lbs. I thought for sure I would notice a performance difference or loss, but the car feels exactly the same. I have heard that turbo's liked a little resistance for making better power, or the difference is negligable!

I've been looking myself for some 16" rims, and all I can find in that size are the 4 bolt pattern. I want to get some five spoke pattern (similar to Gram Lights) and it looks as though I may have to go with 17" eventually. Sucks that it's so popular to supersize rims now, limits the choices for the rest of us.
You know, I wonder how the Mazda6 rims would look on the P5. I wonder if they'd fit... I think they'd be fantastic, those are really some of the best stock rims in existence in my opinion. They're pretty close to the 2002 P5 rims, but just that much more edge to them.

These are my new rims. I need springs of course, but you know... http://www.floridamazdaclub.com/forums/index.php?act=garage&CODE=12&CID=12
The first 2 pics and the last pic are the newest, featuring rims and niteshaded tails that are not in the other pics, otherwise everything else is pretty up to date.
