Default Wanted: 2006 Mazda 6 rims

we are looking for rims for our 06 Mazda 6 grand sport. it currently has the 18inch rims. 2 of the rims are "supposedly" bent, says the dealer.

so we either need 2 18inch rims
or replace all with smaller rims, 17 or 16

if anyone has any ideas on where to find them cheap, used, or is selling them, send me a message

Thanks
Marianne

Well you can always check craig's list, as well as the for sale portions of this forum, www.6crew.com, www.mazda6club.com, and www.mazdas247.com. Your only other alternative would be a set of aftermarket wheels, cause new OEM wheels from the dealer are going to be crazy expensive.

Also, didn't the grand sport come with bigger brakes than the sport? I'm not sure you can clear 16's.

It's not usually a good idea to go -2 from stock in wheel size just as a general rule, not only does it look funny, but as VB said, you can run into clearance issues.
