New wheels what should i go with?

[Drover]

Looking for a new set of wheels, my stock wheels dont have a scratch but i just wants a new look. Looking for some input on what wheels to go with or color at least that would look best on the Black Mica, i don't want to make the wrong choice and dish out money and regret it....

I really like black wheels but i'm afraid a gloss black will look off with the color of my car, the Kazera KZ-K with a chrome lip look really nice or should i go with a aluminum finish like the ones msprotege2nr has in the wheel photo thread, the Kosei K3.

Ideally i would like a set of the rx8 wheels but i can't seem to find them without paying outrageous amount of money.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Enkei FLC-01

$617 I believe is what they would cost for a set, free shipping and I believe they weigh in at 19lbs. I also think they would be dead sexy on a black car!

enkei PF01

Hmm never really thought about the bronze, wheres the best place to buy them? I'm in Canada btw.

I also found a set of RX8 wheels last night, they got 20kms on them, apparently drove from the dealer to get a new set of wheels on, only downfall is that he wants $600 bucks for just the wheels

PF01s are replacing the RPF1s for 2010. Supposed to be a bit lighter in similar sizes as well.

There are 3 styles of wheels that seem to fit the MS6 well;

- split 5/6 spoke
- mesh style (Tenzo Type M)
- RX-8 wheels of any type

I see them on 8club for 400 all the time. have a look at their FS section. Let me know if you have any questions about a specific thread over there (PM me).

$517 I believe is what they would cost for a set, free shipping and I believe they weigh in at 19lbs. I also think they would be dead sexy on a black car!

Where can you find that deal and what dimensions are you refering to. Light and stupid cheap, Im interested for my 8.

I think i'm going to go with the RX8 Wheels, i know they look sweet and well the ones i'm getting are brand new basically. Gonna order some tires from tire rack and i should be set. Wants to lower the car but unfortunately i think the roads around here are too bad to lower it

I think the rx8 wheels are so simple and sexy on a 6.

my bad, it's 617 with everything shipped at discounttiredirect.com, just checked and they are there when you search for the rx-8. I was pondering these for my black speed6 but instead bought a Cobb AP and a testpipe.

Wow these look great! As soon as summer comes I'm buying new rims... I also have Black Mica and I was looking into the bronze/gold look. I'll be tinting my windows really dark and blacking my side markers also so I thought it would look sweet... Shipping to Canada? Can I get a link too? If evertything works financially I'll do a photochop for more opinions.

Those bronze wheels are too busy, get the PF01s.

I don't know about shipping to canada, you'll have to go to the site and add to cart and type in your zip code. I also don't know how much longer they will be doing the web only deal of $100 off of them, probably something you might want to look into.

Those wheels list an incorrect bolt pattern.

I don't know anything about bolt pattern's but i'm sure since they are listed for the mazdaspeed6 that they will fit. i'd say call and ask just to make sure.
