Hmm, they look nice.. I'm a big fan of multiple spoke wheels and this one's definitely gonna look good on the speed.. :) However, I'm really not a chrome lover, the normal silver or perhaps bronze are my best choices in terms of color...

Having said all that, the EKM3 is my number one choice in terms of style.. Check these out see what you think.. :)

I like the Ammodo.

Very Nice! Speedster look but with a touch of class...Like the hyper silver too.

yea, I'm aware of the EKM3s and quite fond of them. I even wanted them for my Mazda6 long before I picked up the Speed3. I saw the Ammodos on the Enekie website but wasnt impressed with them. It wasnt until today when I found real pics of them and realized they were hyper silver. I still havent seen them on a Mazda3 yet.

They're price pretty good, just a few bucks more than the EKM3s, which can be found for about $1000cdn for a set of 4.

The Ammodos kinds look like a copy of BBS RE-Vs:

Their similar buy the Ammodos have sort of a 'Shark fin' type fin design at the ends, which to me makes them (the Ammodos) look way better.Cleaner bolt area also.

Interestingggg, very interestinggg. Might have to get some pricing on these babies. 18x8 with I believe a +40 offset, shouldn't rub correct?

nope won't rub

but damn those rims are niceeee

The Ammodos look really nice... If I hadn't picked up a set of 2011 MS3 rims already I'd be considering them too.

The Hyper Silver finish should really pop against the Cosmic Blue.

Go for it, IMO.

I'm still looking for a pic of these on a Speed3, or any 1st gen hatch. Seriously considering buying these. They'd be about $1000ish from 1010tires when all said and done, but I still have some fondness for other wheels like the EKM3s and the TSW Nurburgrings.....

[pacmann33]

I LOVE these new Enkei Ammodo! I'd consider these if they are halfway light!

Are you sure because I was told it would rub in the back over bumps and such.

[Mr Wilson]

Granted not quite the car you're looking for, but....

17x7.5 45 offset.

Man I really want these rims but in 18". I am told that these will rub on the inside. Can anyone with a 18x8 +40 rim let me know if there is any rub in the wheel well from this kind of setup? Should I get a spacer to push out the rim an extra 5 mm so it would be +45? Would it look like the wheel is sicking out of the wheel well because I dont want that.

5mm spacer will make it +35

I just bought these rims from Simple Tire and I have to say, i couldnt have picked a better rim. I will post a picture as soon as possible on my Black Mazda 3 06. for a 17 inch rim, it looks pretty big! Super happy with this rim!
