So my wife and I picked up an 07 a few months back and love our "space wagon". With a toddler and an infant it suits us perfectly. This is my 2nd Mazda. So what I wanted to know is opinions on these wheels.

They look a lot like MS6/3 wheel with a deeper lip. There are pics of a 5 on MS6 wheels in this section if you wanna know how they look. Personally I likey very much.

Here's another question, stay with 17s or upgrade to 18's?

THose wheels will look nice on a silver 5. Have you tried looking at wheels at www.tirerack.com they have this thing that will show you your car with whatever wheels you pick out. Oh yeah if you have bad winter weather I'd stick with 17" unless you're going to keep your stockers to put back on for that season.

I live in California's central valley and we never get snow, just fog, rain, and heat. The 5 is the family car so I'm leaning toward keeping them 17's, but I have gone crazy befoe and might go bigger.

Ok so I just got off the phone with my wheel guy and he tells me that this TSW Estoril wheel will not fit on my car. What?! Any ideas?

I'd go darker, and I don't see why they wouldn't work.(screwy)

Well apparently the TSW's that I started this post with wont work in 18's, which is what I'm leaning towards getting. Something about the offset being wrong for the wagon.

45 offset will push the wheels past the fenders.... best bet is a 48 offset with a 7" to 7.5" wide rim. the mazda rx-8 are 18"x8" with a 50 offset sit a bit out side the fenders.
