Which wheels? - Mazda 6 Forums : Mazda 6 / Mazda Atenza Forum

Chiefy · 03-05-2006, 12:44 AM

I'm looking at wheels since I'm considering getting some good summer tires, and I figured if I do that, might as well take a look at some rims while I'm at it, and came across there two:

http://www.wheelsandtires.com/wheels.html?...2003-06&size=18

--OR--

http://www.wheelsandtires.com/wheels.html?...2003-06&size=18

Which do you guys think I should get - if either?

This is for a WHITE Mazda6 - http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2283979

If you see other rims (18") that are not to expensive (no more than around $200/ea) that you think are better than these that would look good on a white Mazda6, link me up... thanks for the input!

You posted in the wrong section but between the two id say No. 1. Personally I'd get a body kit or the sports package before the wheels since the stock 17s really dont look that bad. I dunno.

Ya, after exploring the forums a bit (I'm new here) I realized that, sorry... and, ya, I've also been lookin at keeping stock rims and just upgrading the tires. If I do that, I'll be putting the saved $$ into the engine... CAI first.

def. wheel number one.

Holy crap that site has a lot of wheels for the 6.
Anybody ever order from there? Does anybody have any prior positive/negative experience with that company?

Go with the first set. The second wheels look like OE Mitsu Galant wheels.

Actually, it slightly reminds me of the wheels we had on our old 85 RX-7... if I remember right, we traded that back in 98 or 97...

Heh, ya it does, their list of wheels is INSANELY long...

Huh...after poking around this site, I 'm starting to have my doubts about their huge selection.

I was looking at these Sport Max wheels, which came up after I did a search by vehicle for the Mazda 6.

&checked_size=18&&pkg_tire=[PKGTIRE]&cart=10814868752331&brand=SPORT%20MAX%20RACING&PI CNUM=2247&&checkAvailable=F&name=940%20SILVER&make =MAZDA&model=6%20I/S%2C%20S%2003-06&size=18]Link

I've never seen this wheel before so I went to the Sport Max website and looked up the wheel specs.

http://www.sportmaxwheel.com/pr_sp_940.shtml

The wheel isn't the right bolt pattern and the the offset is 42 on a 18x7.5...I don't think it will fit.
