they look similar to my stock rims, and yes they are cool.

 

They look almost like the stock ones....? I just put on a new set of rims today,..they are Kyowa Racing Wheels KR206 in Hyper black,..check them out and let me know what ya think.

 

pics?

 

those Vortex wheels are pretty nice...they remind me of the RX-8 wheels...i am waiting until spring to put my [beautiful][edit] gunmetal Falken Torque 5's on my 3s...(with Falken Azenis to wear 215/45/17)'

 

oooo pretty....how much?

 

there are some pics on that page showing a guy who put 19's on his dropped '06 civic si. when i enter my vehicle information on the site, it will only let me buy 17's, which is fine. i wouldn't put anything bigger on there, for fear of feeling every pebble i drive over. the only thing i'm worried about is that they're 17x8's. those aren't going to stick out of the wheel wells, are they? or worse... rub against the inside?

again, the site says they're fine, but i'm still uneasy.

 

yeah, the 17x8s might be pushing it too much. i think i remember reading somewhere that the widest 17's can only be up to 7.5" wide. maybe if you get some wheel spacers you could make it work, but make sure that the spacers are made FOR the mazda 3. otherwise fitment wont be precise and your wheel will loosen up a lot and you could risk your wheels falling off.

 

does anyone know the widest size tire that will fit on the mazda 3 hatch?

 

215" the widest on 17's...you could go wider with 18's.
