Hello all -
I recently had a bad experience taking my CX-5 to the dealer for service. A tire rotation was performed and they scratched two of my rims :(
There were also spots of oil/grease in the interior of the car.
This was the third time taking my car there for service and the first time...

I just bought two replacement wheel arches/wells from eBay to replace the horrible, rusted ones on my 2002 Protege5. Has anyone used these before and how much should the metal overlap? This is galvanized steel too, so should I grind the edges and apply weld through primer first? I have a plasma...
I want to buy a set of Mazdaspeed Protege Racing Hart wheels. Please respond to thread, PM me, or reach me at my email: axel.sheppard@yahoo.com so we can make a deal. Thank you.
Whining noise comming from the rear at higher speeds
I have a whining noise coming from the rear of my 2010 Mazda 3s (75,000 miles) that seems to be getting worse. It is louder the faster the car is going. I suspect it is the rear wheel bearings. Can I replace just the bearings, or do I have...
I'm looking at a nice set of 18" x 7.5" MS6 wheels, but I'm concerned about the offset. My M5 wheels have a +52.5 offset, the MS6's have a +55, put the inside of the wheel closer to the suspension, caliper, etc. Any help is appreciated!
Hi everyone,
I just bought a 2003 Protege5 on CL. I'm embarrassed to admit I didn't do a whole lot of checking before I bought -- I drove it, and looked around (in the dark) to make sure, like, the headlights worked. I liked that it was manual, that it had a sunroof, and that it was a...
Rims are in good shape (no curb rash). Tires are in very good shape with lots of tread left.
These were outstanding in snow and were actually very good on dry pavement.. in fact they were better than my all-season grand touring tires.
Sadly, my Protege5 is no more, so these need a new home.
Can...
Hey there, found a deal on some 17x7 xxr 530's and I wanna mount them on my 2. Just wondering if anyone knows offhand how they will fit? I know they'll definitely mount but the tires looked pretty thick in the photo and I was curious if any wheel pros out there could help me figure this out...
So these vibrations have been getting really annoying, it's at just about any speed, worse at higher speeds and around corners, no noise just vibrations and a distinct rotating sound, I replaced all brake pads and rotors and one caliper, drilled and slotted rotors, ceramic pads, and new oem...
Hello
I have our 2009 CX-9 apart for a wheel bearing replacement. Everything is apart but I cannot pop the lower ball joint out of the knuckle. If I cannot remove the knuckle, I will have to attempt the bearing R&R with the knuckle mounted instead of taking it to a shop with a press. I have the...
Looking to buy a set of Mazdaspeed Protege 17" Racing Hart OEM Wheels for my Protege5. The condition really isn't an issue as long as they are not bent or cracked. Discolor or scratches happen, no big deal. Basically if I can still use them safely that's all that matters. Thank you!
Hey Guys,
I have been a Mazda owner for a while now starting with my Gen 1 Mazda 3 Hatchback since then I have been a dedicated Mazda enthusiast. But I am new to this forum and wanted to go ahead and introduce myself. Im currently with Vossen Wheels as Videographer and apart of the Marketing...
I have some OE stock Mazda Protege5 wheels. These were my spare set that I used for snow tires for a few years, then Hoosier slicks for autocrossing. I sold the car and need to get rid of these things. I bought them used, and they've been used some more. Not very pretty, but straight and...

Whatsup whatsup,
I haven't been on here in a loooong time. Just blew out a tire from a pothole yesterday, and 2 other tires have bubbles in them. NJ roads for you! My rims are 16x7 Motegi MR116, with a +40 offset I believe. The tires I have now are 205/45/R16, but these roads EAT my tires, so I...
03 MSP and 115xxx on her. i have replaced the cv axles, brakes, and rotors, thats about all in the wheel well. well anyways first started as a small small barely noticable (if i wasnt so picky, probably wouldnt have heard it) squeek in a right hand turn, 15-40mph roughly. well it is now when i...
So, I did a mock up [sorry for the bad Photoshop skills] of how the OEM 18" would look in a dark gunmetal/black finish on the red gt sedan. What do you guys think? YAY or NAY?

Dear all,
It's been few months my 2009 CX9 (103K) has developed a wiggle when I turn right... But not always and that's the rub.
At first I thought it was the tires, so I hoped the wiggle will be gone when i put my set of 4 winter tires... It did not.
Brought the car to Mazda, took it for a...
