What rims do you guys think would look good on my car. I'm looking for a 5 or maybe 8 spoke.
What's on there now, are 18's
&also what size do you suggest?

Holy **** those are too big. Stay in the 14-16" range, and get rid of that chrome garbage. I'm a fan of Black Racing Pro N1's, but only you know what you'll want to spend money on. There's a wheel and tire section in the marketplace here. Tire Rack has an entire wheel catalog. Go do some looking around and decide what you want for yourself.

I don't really like the black look. I plasti dipped these black and I don't really like it.







Yes I agree these are too big, but for the price you can't beat it. I got all 4 of them rims for $90 had bad tires but it was a good price. Lmk if you like the black look.

Black Racing isn't the color, it's the company who makes the wheel I'm talking about. They're a sub-company of 5Zigen. Here is the Pro N1 in bronze.



They were originally available in bronze, black, and white, but were discontinued a while ago. Combine that with the fact that Black Racing is a Japanese company, and you run into the issue of rarity. They're still relatively affordable, light as hell, and extremely unique.

Like I said, no one here knows what you like. Go browse through some catalogs and figure out what YOU like.

I like those, I want something like that. A lightweight rim.
No spinners, I don't even want the rims that are on my car now. I just have em because they look better than the stock ones. And they were really cheap + in good condition

I'm on tire rack right now. Just wondering is 19lbs per rim is that light or is that more of an average weight. I'm thinking average cause I also seen some that were 12 lbs.

A pound per inch height on a wheel is typically a decent goal for a lighter wheel. (Example: 15" wheel - 15lbs)

If you're looking for a budget friendly, lighter wheel, look here: http://www.good-win-racing.com/Mazda...es/Wheels.html

Most of the options there will fit with minor modifications needed to your car.

What would be a good tire size for 15's cause I like them better.
I'm just so ready to get these off my car
Oh, and I don't want the tire so big that it can't be lowered. Cause in the near future I want to get koni yellows w/ ground control springs and lower it a little maybe 1-2 inches idk yet

The recommended tire size will do you just fine, you could go with 195/55. But recommended is really your best option.
