Why you did not go, with 245 tires?

Not sure why, I went with what was recommended. I'm going to see what the shop says about psi when I go back this weekend. I'm at 32 psi right now and want to lower it just a tad for a bit smoother ride.

I run my 20's at 38 lbs. Wear looks to be good and even.

What do you all think of Velox wheels and also, Costco as a wheel source in general (for wheel bargains)?

I bring it up only because I see in their current Costco ad a promo for $120 to $300 off Velox wheels.

I've never shopped wheels before so I'm just getting me feet wet at to which brands and which sources might be good looking forward. I'm not ready to do anything now, but sometime further down the line. Thanks in advance to any responses!

Looks great. Would love to see more pics, particularly showing flushness and tire width from the rear view. Also what are your wheel specs? Im looking for 20x9 but am not sure about +35 offset. I want to be as close to perfectly flush as possible.

Oops. Thats to Lowincash.

Not directed to me but here is my setup which is basically flush... 20x8.5 ET35 TSW Sprint in gunmetal, 245/45/20 BFG g-Force Comp 2 A/S. Hope these pics help.

Thanks for the shots; that's the flushness I want. I thought the Sprints were ET40. I wonder what the extra width of a 9" looks like.

I went into the Sprints thinking they were ET40 as well (I think that's what the TSW site had)...got them and they were stamped ET35 on the insides. Works out perfectly though. I would think a 9" wheel would work in the rear (mine are still a bit tucked), but the fronts would be sticking out.

I kinda figured that but was hoping it wouldnt be so. Your vehicle looks the way it should have from the factory. Great choice. Mazda designed a really sharp body, a best in class interior, and then gave it an econobox stance.

These are 20X9 and I don't know the exact offset, these were cut for the car but I believe I saw it was +45 but not 100% sure. I don't have the box anymore. Here's some shots from behind, it sits pretty flush and I'm very happy with the fitment.

Again, very nice! Thanks for the info gentlemen.

M011 18s with Pirelli Pzero AS Plus tires.

Completely changes the car's driving.

I considering going wider and lower profile but the "odo matching" (am aware this can be recalibrated) options were fewer and not as great, Pilots aside (which I didn't want because I didn't want to increase tire noise).

Looks great! I*ve been looking at those rims as well. Could you expound a little on what you mean by *Completely changes the car*s driving*? Like rougher, smoother, feel the road more, etc

I wouldn't have thought that style of wheel would fit the CX-5 but they look fantastic! Nice job spec'ing them out!

That will be very easy to clean, not like mine.

I hadn't even thought about that when I bought them, but yes, they are SOOO easy to clean!

Honestly I am just happy to see another black CX-5
