Venom Series rims??? - Mazda 6 Forums : Mazda 6 / Mazda Atenza Forum

Has anyone tried the "Venom Series" rims from Mazda?? Not sure who makes them but I saw a set on a Mazda3 and loved them so I added them to my 6! Killer look - silver and black spokes to go against my black Mazda6. I found they are 17" as opposed to the 16's that where on my 6i but the look is awesome. I do have some "issues" with wheel rub when I have passengers in the back or some type of heavy load in the trunk. Aside from that, the look and feel are awesome and I have gotten nothing but compliments from the set up. If I can ever remember to bring my Camera home from work then I will post some pics. Just wondering if anyone has seen or used them.

Awesome site by the way....thanks for all of the helpful information.

LOL...that is what I thought too. All I know is, the dealership had them on a few models and I fell in love with them...when I bought my 6i, I told him that I wanted the rims so he had them put on at no extra cost for me.....I am not sure if they have someone supplying them or what...and I havent been able to find them online. I do know that they are 17" instead of the stock 16's........ nice look tho!

Dealers will often stick wheels on a car to help sell it. That doesn't mean it's a Mazda wheel. On the contrary, it usually means it a total piece of crap cheap wheel that they buy for $400 a set, and charge $1000 for.

I've seen those wheels before on this site. They're not Mazda wheels. They are cheap, but that's not necessarily a bad thing (unless you overpaid for them). Not my look, but to each their own.

In this case it is a good thing since I didnt pay anything for them and I like the look it gives the car......have any idea who makes them? I thought I saw HD somewhere on there....

Man, those look frickin' nuts, can we see some pics of the whole car?

It's like they're playing tricks on my eyes or something!
