What's the difference between 9965-65-7080 vs. 9965-B5-7080 part #'s for OEM rims?

 

Welcome to the forum

You may want to contact a Mazda dealership parts department and see if one is merely a superseded number or simply a type -o?

Most all members on forums would need to do the same research on the good old www. so exercise you figure?

We only have one member (that i am aware of) on this forum that actually works for a MAZDA dealership and that is service not PARTS DAEPARTMENT.

 

Where i've looked it's not listed as a supersession. It's a different part with a >$100 difference in price.

9965-B5-7080 is listed for 2019-2023
9965-65-7080 is listed for 2019-2020

 

Ok well the price is no indicator of the wheel and it reference to part numbers.
Because it is OEM and not aftermarket you need to contact MAZDA!
Aftermarket has very little guides and references to OEM part numbers and cross overs and often they need to be double checked for accuracy before using or installing them.

Conclusion and recommendation contact a MAZDA dealership parts department and talked to the parts department!

The parts dept. where i'm purchasing the rim doesn't know what the difference is. They don't actually stock the part, so a direct comparison isn't an option.
9965-65-7080 is stamped on our OEM rim, so i know that's the "correct" part, but i'm still curious what the difference is...

REPEAT, you need to either physically compare them or contact a dealership that has 2 and is willing to do the comparison, find the MAZDA part number decoding information help and hard to get) or contact MAZDA USA.

FYI joining several MAZDA forums is not going to get you another more informative answers than what I have posted here. We do as I said have ONE member that works for MADZA but what you are asking for is not causal, so you really need to do the work yourself CONTACT MAZDA USA

OR accept that there is a reason why for your Mazda there is a OEM wheel if not superseded why it is more costly than other part numbers!

BTW I used my source for parts OE superseding number and application (I only use this as a base line for reference and not as absolute accuracy) and YUP your Mazda has a wheel that is more costly than other models and years!
In other words, if you came into our shop the wheel you would get new OEM is the more costly one that is applicated for your MAZDA!
BTW there is a coding on the back of the wheel that also give technical load information which also may be a clue!

You do realize that safety in getting the correct wheel should be your foremost thought when replacing a single or couple of OEM wheels on any platform!

- at least it's the less costly, of the two i'm comparing

- i'll let you know how they respond...

 

"Thank you for contacting Mazda Customer Experience Center.
... I am glad to hear you are wanting to replace your rims. We will advise for you to reach out to your local Mazda Dealership to see what the differences are between the two rims ...
Sincerely, Representative, Customer Experience"

 

Yes I expected as much. This is because if you ask the OE or a dealership, they are going to sell you what is applicated for your vehicle not what you want or because you want to save money.
In the case of replacing a single wheel it may not be worth the possible damage that may happen by replacing one incorrect applicated OEM wheel?
If you do buy "YOUR" choice of wheel I recommend that you do not have it connected to your any information of your MAZDA. Just saying!

 

Buying the 9965-B5-7080 would cost more and not be original application for our vehicle, so we never tried or did that
...just wondering what the difference is
