I found used winter rims for sale, but have no idea if these will fit my car. This is the only info I have:

16' steel rims.
Bolt patterns is 5x114.3

From what I've searched so far I think I should be ok, but I don't want to throw away money if they don't fit. Thanks everyone.

What is the offset and width of the rim. You've got the right bolt pattern. If they're just steelies you should be ok. Anything under 8" wide with an offset between 42 - 52 is what you're looking for.

If they come with tires you intend to use, you'll need to know the tire size as well.

Thanks for the info guys!

They came from a Mazda 6 and tire size that's on them now is 205/55/16.

How much are cheap winter rims from say Wallymart or something anyways? Should I pay for better winter rims?

They should fit no problem. That's the proper size for the regular Mazda 3's.

Winter rims usually start at $50+ up. I usually sell the OEM Mazda steel wheels for $55/each plus taxes around mid October each year.

I might as well wait and get them from you then in October...thanks.
