Default Mazda 3 Wheels - 18' Speed3 Rims

Having problems with the 17's on my current 2006 Black Mazda 3 Grand Touring. Thinking about upgrading to the 18" Speed three rim's if I can find some for sale with the TPMS . . . . Any ideas or suggestions ? Know of anyone selling any? or if this is even possible. Feedback is greatly appreciated.

Quite possible, but why? They are +/-4lbs. heavier ea. (more unsprung weight,) many more spokes spaced close together (harder to keep clean) and, in my own opinion, not very attractive. I would take a set of the 5-spoke OE's over those any day of the week.
By comparison, I LOVE the new MS3 wheels, just not the smiley faced front end.
