Suggestions??

First, honestly, didn't realize anyone was actually driving a mazda 2 yet. Well I'm in the US and they certainly aren't selling them here. Congrats on getting one!

Second, I love the wheels. What size does the car come with stock? I would say probably bump up a size for looks, especially cause lips make the wheels look smaller. The smaller tire will give you better handling too. My Integra came on 14s and I threw 17s on there. The ride didn't completely do to hell. 16s were a nice balance between looks and performance.

Hmmm.. Not bad at all concerning quality and good looking also. The point is that the car comes with 16'' stock alloy rims (at least the version I bought). I have to admit that I never cared about the alloy rims in my cars, but the stock alloy rims were really good looking.


Question: What size of tyre are you going to put on, to keep the wheel diameter steady? You might change the way the car feels (steering wheel) and drives if you make a dramatic change of the diameter ( Some say that anything >2% is really bad).

My question is why are you asking about this wheel in a 14 inch package? Why don't you buy them in 16, have your tires moved over to your new wheels and call it a day?? No worries about anything, no real performance or driving differences, and nice wheels.

I'm from Croatia that's in europe you know (headbang), and here it's seling from 07' (escuse me 4 my bad english), my mazda 2 comes with 14" wheeels so it would bemuch much cheaper to get 14" momo rims.. But I think that i would save my money and get 15" one!!

because its much more expensive for me..
15" or 16" wheels requares a new tyres and price 800E against 380€ if i just buy 14" because i have to by new tyres..

I actually like it. I think smaller wheels would look rediculous, but I do agree that price matters!! Have you thought about maybe painting the stockers?? You could tape off the lip and have black with a silver lip.... or paint the lip to match the car, that would be hawt!

1.3 liter engines comes with 14 inch rims 1.5 comes with 15 inch rims and sport 1.5 comes with 16 inch rims

I think green rims look cool. What the color of your car's paint? I suggest you paint your brake caliper (http://www.car-stuff.com/brakecaliper.htm) green too so that it would look nicer with the rims.
