the best rim for the mazda 3

[snowboardadic]

I just got a new mazda 3 silver metallic and i was looking to put some rims and tires on it. I was think black rims, but I'm up for anything. If you guys could post pictures/name of the rims/size that would be great. I have looked around at other people's mazda3's and I just cant find the right one.

Did you check out our sponsor, Simply Tire? Allen posts sales up all the time for Mazda3 fitting rims.

You can't go wrong with Rx-8 rims or Speed3 rims.

Definitely rx8 :)

Basically the "best rim" is entirely subjective to your personal taste and needs.

Are you looking for cosmetic over performance?
Are you looking for something that is stock from Mazda?

The only important factor is that is fits.
So look for something that is sized 17"x7" or 18"x7", 5x114.3 Bolt Pattern and has a compatible offset.

Anything aside from that will depend on your budget, the weight of the wheel (if that matters), and the overall look.

Good luck, talk to Simply Tire they can certainly hook you up.

Are the speed 3 rims a direct fit on the regular 3's??

Yes...

I would suggest touching base with both Simply Tire and Tires23 as both post sales periodically on here.

Although Allen from Simply Tire frequents this site more often, Tires23 does provide some awesome deals.... it's just that it's sometimes easier to see them in person then to get them on the phone or by email.

its all personal preference when it comes to looks but if you want performance thats a lil different lol
