Hi MikesMazda5, sorry to hear of your mishap. Your profile says that your Mazda5 is a Sport model which, I believe, has 16" wheels whereas the Touring (or GT in Canada) has 17" wheels. Otherwise i would consider taking a drive to your area because I do need one now and likely, before the end of this winter, maybe another.
PS - happy belated b'day.
Henika, your comment on increasing the PSI is a good one that I will have to consider. I think I will take friti's suggestion and go 16" with winter tires soon.
You are right about the pot holes in the GTA. The 401 in the east end express lanes by Brimley Rd. has a series of them and everyone is weaving around them to avoid them. I can see a whopper of an accident happening there if they don't fix them soon.
I am waiting for a response from York Region on my claim for the first rim. They can only say no.
Frito, thanks for your suggestions on size. As mentioned to Henika above, I think I will seriously consider winter 16" tires on steel rims. In any event, I need at least one replacement 17" rim now to replace the one slightly bent one. Thank goodness the new tire (Bridgestone Potenza G019) is OK but it along with the suspension are sure getting a work out this winter.
