I had planned on putting snow tires on a set of MS6 rims I bought, but now I'll just put the snow tires on my stock wheels and keep these for the summer!

Always wanted these after seeing them in the mazdaspeed catalog on the True Red MS3!

I thought the guy I sold my set to got a good deal. That's less than one retails for.

I know they're forged Rays and all, but I'm not a big fan of the look. I would've flipped these to make a buck.

I'm going to put the stock tires on them and see how they look after the winter's over. If I don't like them I'll be selling them, but I think I'm going to like the look a lot based on the pictures of them on a TR MS3 in the mazdaspeed catalog.

Don't get me wrong, they are nice wheels. Just personal preference, I'd rather have solid spoke or web wheels on a wagon.

"Condition: Still In Original Boxes!!!"
That means nothing. They could be beat to shit and put back in the boxes. I hope it all works out for you though because that is one hell of a deal if they are new.

yeah thats a pretty good price man, but we'll see how they look when you receive them. regardless, $500 for a pair of rays is good even if they're completely stripped down to the metal.

OP, did you email the seller to verify if they are brand new?

wel he used paypal, or atleast i hope he used paypal.. so if he gets shitty wheels then he can go through paypal to get his money back.. but thats a steal for those wheels man..damn!!!

NICE!! They look new to me. Look at the one wheel that's facing backwards... the hub is spotless and looks like it's never been on a car.
DaViper

Yes, I used paypal. From the image of the wheels I'm assuming they're new. I wasn't going to risk someone else buying them while I waited for a response on the condition, I don't think they would have lasted another hour on ebay.

As already mentioned you got a killer deal, I have the wheels and love how they look. Keep us updated when you get them, I hope they look as good as in the pictures. I'm happy for you, but definitely jealous of the price you paid!

They arrived today! Brand new, never been mounted! They even came with center caps, paperwork, and the mazdaspeed black cloth storage covers!

I'll put some pics up in the spring when I mount them!

Lucky.

And for the record, I think these are some of the best looking wheels that you can put on an MS3... I really like the 5-spoke-split-10 look or whatever you want to call it.

Good shit! Glad to hear that they are brand new. Probably a liquidator getting rid of ish, or a really stupid retailer. Regardless, their loss is your gain.
