215/40/17 is the closest size to the stock 195/50/16
Almost pulled the trigger on a set of those a couple months back, but decided I really didn't have to have them. Found another set for sale, now I want them all over again... How much did you pay for your set? Just curious about the actual selling prices of these wheels.

I paid $100 for 4 MX5 wheels with tires when I bought mine. They were in pretty decent condition, but one wheel needed to be refinished. Just have to search for the deals lol

This is the best meme ever!
Found mine for $150 locally, but the tires need to be replaced real soon.
still a pretty good price. i paid $350 for mine, but they came with some new bridgestone RE01-R's
on another note, I finally found and fixed the vacuum leak that was causing my car to idle poorly
Hit up a junkyard today and scored a few things.......Tribute washer nozzles and wiper switch and some sedan headlights. I'm going to swap the lenses to my p5 headlights after I paint the housings black.
I was looking for parts to do the Mazda 6 brake upgrade, but didn't find any good candidates........and my search for the roof rack caps continues as well.

The wiper switch is an awesome mod, I love mine. As far as the 6 brakes go, any candidate is good a good one. I did my swap to get rid of the problematic calipers. Larger brake system was a bonus afaik.

Traded it in and got a lil' bit higher off the ground!!(stooges)
Best $10 that I have spent in a long time! My calipers in the rear are starting to seize, so the brake project is at the top of my list.

Nice finds dtour.
Karen failed inspection for the second year in a row.
Last year was thanks to motor mounts and smoked bumper lights. This year it's thanks to both lower ball joints. The DS was replaced almost two years ago at Firestone and has ~25K miles whereas the PS is OEM and has over 180K miles. I've been looking on Rockauto but not sure what brand to buy. I've read good and bad things about the Beck/Arnley but haven't seen much on the others. I'll add that Rockauto sells the Moog for $125 but Firestone quoted me over $400ea for the same with a lifetime warranty?!

626 ball joints can be pressed into our factory control arms, IIRC you can do both sides for cheaper than one new arm.
washed mine, last pics of how she looked for 2013.
