Gray CX7 with RX8 wheels

[AlbanianDude]

Few of you guy's wanted to see the RX8 wheels on the CX7, well here it is.
Tires are 255/55/R18 COOPER ZEON XST and i love them they have somewhat of a directional tread but still kick ass when it comes to handling and performance.

Finally..
Something the RX8 Wheels...Don't look good on.

These look tiny on that vehicle...and the offset looks way off.

They need some spacers to help out at minimum...and the silver isnt doing your dark grey any help.
Sorry man..Just my honest opinion.....And I own RX8 wheels as well.

They do not need spacers unless you want tires to stick way out, color is the same as the CX7 wheels so i dont see what you have to pick on, they look little smaller but they are winter wheels i have 22's coming.

[ForceFed]

Dude..I'm not picking on you....They just dont look good on the CX7 IMHO.
Thats all....They dont fit the vehicle well and give it a bad stance IMO.
They are tucked far too much.

Don't take it personal..you asked for opinions..I gave you mine.

I think it was a fair observation and opinion on my part.

[AlbanianDude]

True and you have to see them to realize that they dont need spacers because tires are wider.From 225/60/18 to 255/55/18

I like them, and the Offset is the same.

You just need a drop.

The RX-8 wheels look off on all the Protege's, too big and brash.

No drop needed man we get way to much snow to do a drop, 22's for the summer already ordered.

[CX-7owner]

I was saying drop it just for the looks, it would look better.

I think they look pretty good on the CX7, better than the stock wheels in my opinion.

Are 40+ year olds not allowed to own a CX-7?

[Roywhitep5]

[antlind]

Wow, those wheels look small on the CX-7. But they're great as winter wheels.....If you ever want to sell them lemme know....I would love to run these wheels on my Mazda5.

100% agree! I wish the CX-7 had these....19 or 20" and we'd be riding in style. I can't see the off set, but I do like my wheels flushed with the fender lip.

I think I prefer the stock wheels but that's just me.

[Rivman]

They look good - most Mazda alloys will usually suit other model Mazdas !

They are flushed same offset, tires are a little wider 255 from a 225
Same rims 20" would be kick ass
