    Default Suggest rims for a 08 Mz3 sedan

    Any clean looking rims for an 08 Mz3 sedan? I was thinking rx8 rims but other suggestions don't hurt. I want a clean look, nothing too aggressive or ricey. Thanks.

    i like the gen 2 speed wheels, i think its a good look for the sedan and is not as common as the rx8 rims

    OEM Mazda wheels can be pretty cheap which leaves room for refinishing / powdercoating

    I have had and recommend:
    17" mazda 3 GT wheels -very safe fitment
    17" 1st gen Mazda 6 5 spokes (x2) -very safe fitment
    18" RX-8 wheels. Sat flush with fenders, no rubbing on prokits
    Next: 2nd gen OEM speed wheels.

    Send me pics so I can see what the tires are like and if the rims have too much curb rash. Little nics here and there are fine. Just wanna see if they're worth checking out /:

    Totall agree if your going for a clean look, oem wheels generally suit the geometry of the car , especially if you get rims that are from the same generation.

    I highly suggest gen 1 or gen 2 MS3 wheels, safe fitment on gen 1-3 (I've had them on all three gens) and they really suit the car. Just had to throw in spacers for that flush look.

    I'm selling a set of gen2 MS3 rims for $200 ( pretty bad curb rash on one of the wheels) but no bends or cracks. Good if you are interested in refinishing . pm me



    My gen2 Gs had Ms3 gen 1 rims
    My gen1 MS3 had 2016 GT rims
    And gen2 ms3 had stock rims

    Seen those gen 2 MS3 wheels and those are nice even in person. Or some of kind of KMC or Moto Metal wheels should compliment the Mz3 sedans.
