Which grey are you referring to? Pebble ash or steel grey?

Pebble ash, go with black IMO and steel grey you can go black or grey but with a chrome lip to accent the tail lights.

I like the thick spokes. Good choice!

Should I have to worry about the wheels rubbing...They're the same 17x7 size as the stock and they have an offset of +48mm

I have 17"s as well and have my rear fenders rolled just in case. Not too sure about the offset. Search around the wheel stickies. I know its a lot of reading, lol. My guess is no if the size is the same, but the tires are the thing to rub not the wheel. So I would err to the side of caution and roll dem fenders! I did mine and was happy I did, lol. three people in the back def rubs the fenders when going over a small speed bump. Not too sure now that I have racing beat springs on, but now I will never know. hehe...

Hi there, I am new here and I have a line on a brand new set of blms-8m-z01 these are the mazda speed forged MS6 18" light gray wheels. I am curious what someone would be willing to pay for them. Again, I dont have them yet but I will tomorrow depending on what they are worth.

Like the Rims, but The Black Rim look is getting played out...
Everyone has black rims. Just my .02... Of course as said
above your opinion is the most important.

I don't have to go with black. At first I was thinking chrome, but a lot of people told me chrome doesn't look good on a 6. Those black rims are the nicest ones I've checked out so far and for a price I'm lookin to spend.

There are a lot of factors when making a decision like this...
Most important is YOUR satisfaction. Like I said the rims are nice,
and should look good on the car too. I just rashed my RX-8 rims,
so I'm looking for a change as well. I was thinking of color matching
them...I don't see too much of that on the 6, and I like being out
of the norm...

The more I think about it the more I think I want to go with chrome. With the Mazda emblems and the strip in front of the hood being chrome I think chrome wheels would look the best with it. How about these?

I'm not a Chrome guy, but it looks good on Steel Gray. Those rims are actually pretty sharp too. Not too Bling and a nice profile to them as well. Probably weigh a ton though. You might pull off a +48 without any problems. That is the area where some people have issues and some don't.

Even if the wheels are heavier, how much does it really matter? I probably wouldn't ever notice a difference with different weights of wheels. It's not like I'm racing or anything that every ounce matters so I'm not too concerned about weight.

Lighter wheels just plain improve the handling and ride all around. If you don't care about it then don't fret it and get what you want for looks.
