Gauging interest: 6061forged.com group buy - Mazda 6 Forums : Mazda 6 / Mazda Atenza Forum

Target:STi · 02-15-2007, 09:56 AM

sup everyone. i recently read a thread on a honda forum somewhere posted by 6061forged.com about how they can make custom wheel sizes and offsets. of course all the honda guys complained because they wanted them in 15'' but thats another story. anyway, i sent them an email and am waiting to hear back on the possibility of them making an 18x7.5 with a +50 offset which is the oem spec on the MS6. if you didnt know, they already sell the least expensive forged wheels i can find, and it would be nice to keep the same size so the tires can swap over. the regular 6 guys, it will fit yours too, just need tires. anyway, if you would be interested in a group buy, let me know. im partial to the A5 LW's myself. 14lbs in a 19x7.5 is veddy nicee...

I believe this is correct. Both of the Mazdaspeed accessory wheels are offered in an 18"x7.5" size, however. This may be what Target:STi was referencing.

oops yea my mistake. well if this thread gets any attention then maybe ill get a poll going of which style, size, width and offset everyone wants.

I have a set of 19X7.5 +50mm on order right now. hopefully they'll be here in a few weeks. Can beat a 15lb 19" wheel! they do custom hub bore as well.

omfg, i'd max out my credit card in a hot second if i could get something in gold......

I've been eyeing the mesh design wheels on their site. They look nice and they are alot cheaper than the Racing Harts I've been considering which are $1800. I could almost buy a the 19" rims and tires for that much @ 6061.

Depends on the price and the timing.

I like the wheels and 18x7.5 is perfect... considering I have summer stockers laying around since I put winters on the stock wheels.

Stock offset for the MS6 is actually +55 (according to the many times people have been corrected when they said +50).

19" would be cool... but like I said above about the leftover stock tires.

So anyway... if you get this at the right price and timed (ship/payment) for the winter/summer tire swap... I might be in on this. Keep us posted.

I'd most likely be up for 19's.

The A5's look a lot like the iForged Aero that I've been looking at.

And I have to buy new tires the summer anyways, so that's moot to me.

See if you can get a general group buy maybe? Where mass orders of wheels could come to them but not one wheel in particular. Shouldn't make a difference to them technically.

6DereK6 · 02-16-2007, 09:57 AM

I don't think they have 18's and they will powder coat in any color even gold! also they won't go more than +50 because they don't want any caliper clearing issues, also if you go to a wider tire your going to want to move it out away from the suspension a little +50 should be perfect. (I hope) haha
