They're Racing Harts. They come stock on the 03.5 Mazdaspeed

You look into the Advan model 7's or I think The TE37's would look good.

Good luck with your rim choice, I cant wait to see what you get.

Here's a pic of mine. 18" gun metal (graphite) nice machined lip. I really like them with my Spicy Orange thought you might like em too. Hey, I've got a set of MSP Racing Harts for sale if you'd prefer.

If you would like to go with 18 you should keep two things in mind. Weight and offset. You don't want a heavy wheel cause it will throw off the superb handling of your P5. And you need to have an offset of 48+ so you will not run into rubbing issues. With P5's it's usually the rear that will rub first. This way you can accent the new wheels with a set of eibach springs. This will lower the car just enough to tuck the wheels nicely. You can check out Truc, Bill or myself to see that.

Here are a few choices for you:

Richie @ Auto R&D is a great guy to deal with for wheels:

word...I went with an offset of 40. No real chance to throw springs on. Still I don't have any issues with rubbing

 

[Mp5978]

I had 17' with a +43 offset. The rubbing only occur when there's people in the back....the feeling suck, I had to sell the lovely wheels away.

 

[zoomzoom02]

thats what i have,..only rubs with 3 peeps in back, but rubs BAD. but i love the rims

Any ideas on FLAMES?

I have a friend in Pembroke who did the same thing to his MX-6. The orange will always be MSP. The black yellow and titanium are there also but not the same somehow. Later man, nice job. How about an engine swap or Turbo kit so your bite = bark.

Robert throw some ghost flames on it! While you're at it throw some on mine too

 

[batmang]

hah, you can buy me a autoexe grill and paint that too....

 

[mp5spicyorange]
