Wanted: Bigger OEM rims

Wanted: Bigger OEM rims
Seems like a lot of people have replaced their stock rims with aftermarket rims. That means that people have old stock rims lying around and/for sale. I am looking for a bigger set to replace my aftermarket ones for the winter. If anyone has some, or can point me in the right direction to get some that would be great. I currently have 16" rims that I would use in the winter, but I would like to get some 17" or maybe 18". I have heard that other Mazda models such as RX8's and Miata's fit on the 3, and I wouldn't mind that look either. Let me know. Thanks guys.

RE: Wanted: Bigger OEM rims
Mazda3, Mazda6, Miata and RX-8 wheels all fit the Mazda3
If your looking to run them in the winter, I'd suggest Dunlop Wintersport M3's in a 205/50R17.
I wouldn't go beyond the 17's for a winter tire.
Mazda3 wheels are 17x6.5"
Mazda6 are 17x7"
RX-8 are 18x8" (I know they also have a 17" wheel and maybe a 16" available for the RX-8)
You could run any of these tire sizes and be fine (You need a 7" width rim to run the 225 width tire.)
205/50R17
225/45R17
225/40R18
