any car with a bolt pattern of 5x114.3 with and offset of +52 and a centre bore of 67.1mm. i'm pretty sure there are lots.

+1.

It's great and all that you love your car that much, but I think you not be seeing the forest for the trees. Just make sure it gets a Krown treatment in the fall, and take it to a coin-op every week or two in the winter to rinse it down (incl. the undercarriage!) and you should be fine.

All the same, good luck finding a winter beater. :thumbsup

You guys are off topic.. All he is asking is what other cars will fit his Mazda rims cause he doesn't want drive his car during winter months

Threads don't have to follow laser-beam precision. It was just a suggestion for "sober second thought" as buying a second car will amount to fair-sized investment which the OP may or may not be happy with in the end.

Back to the OP's request now: the link below will let you cross-reference bolt patterns for different models and manufacturers fairly easily. You'll still need to check the offset and centre bore, though.

Why not decide on the car first, and then sell the alloys and buy some steelies or other winter rims that fit the car you've picked? And then put the winter tires on the steelies or rims that you buy?
