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 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.
