OK here it is, I just cracked one of my original mazdaspeed6 2007 retail wheel, and the dealer ask me 550$ + tx for a new one.
But the thing is that I dont really like the look of those wheels.

Should I better get myself cheap mag like those instead ?

900$ without tires.

The stock wheels is like this.

I cant imagine they will charge 550$ + taxes for that kind of wheel.

Do someone know witch brand it is.

I will put a complete picture of the wheel later today.

Just out of curiousity, how did that happen? It looks like slush was all over your tire. Did you lose control in the snow? If you did, were you riding on stock MS6 potentza's?
Those tires shouldn't be used in the winter weather, they will turn to hockey pucks.
I just bought a set of cheap rims and Hankooks Ice bear tires for $848 shipped from www.discounttiredirect.com
http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/f...&vid=008710 These were only $95 a peice,

http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/f...08710&ar=45 These snow tires were only $117 a piece.

No tax, Free shipping, and they through in the lug nuts for free. Check em out.

Oh, and check out the wheel/tire sale section of this forum and ebay. You may be ablve to find one speed 6 wheel for much less.

225/45/18 winter tire will fit on my speed6 ? The dealer told me that its either 215/45/17 or 215/45/18 nothing else.
Anyway I already bought my winter tires.

And yes, I was with my summer tire when it did happens.

225's should fit without rubbing. I couldn't locate any winter tires that fit that were 215/45/17 or 18.
I stepped down to 17's, though, for winter wheels.

I bought Pirelli W240 Sotto Zero 215/45/18. Suppose to be good tire for AWD cars.
