The Oz are my personal favorites, but I'm still kinda torn. The stock wheels are probably the only thing I DON'T like about my car. They're so busy and heavy looking.

I had almost decided on the Oz Hydras until I started seeing on different forums that the stock MS6 wheels are 7" wide and have a 55 offset. I don't believe an 8" wheel with a 40 offset is gonna work....plus I really don't want an 8" wheel. Too bad...I really like them.

I'm gonna play hell finding a decent wheel with an offset like that. I keep reading that I shouldn't go any lower than 48 on this car...of course, that's dependent on which width I choose. Anyone have some insight on this? Am I finding wrong info? I still cant find the specs on the factory wheels....that would really help as a baseline.

I like using photoshop, but didn't have much time as im about to go to bed. Here are the Oz's.
I tried to keep the tires the same size, didn't bother at all with shading. I just took them off some other car I found on images.google.com



Oz Hydras right? Very nice looking rim.
Here's a very LARGE pic of it. :)

After looking at it more.. it does look pretty much exactly like our stock rims , at least Mazda 3 ones.

In that case I vote rim #1 with a polished lip, and a dark gun metal inner part (everything but the lip)

It turns out that probably none of these are gonna work. The stock wheel is 7" with a 53 offset, I don't see a way that an 8" wheel with a 42 - 45 will work, which is what all the above wheels are. It may be 'back to the drawing board' unless I find that these will squeeze on without rubbing.
