Are't the 20025 and 2003 rims the same. At least they are n the P5.

What the hell are you talking about? I just looked at your car and it has the same alloy wheels as the 2003s.

If you're talking about some other wheels, please post a pic.

Do you mean the LX wheels? Like the ones in the lower right of this pic?

Nope. I dont know but I went to the dealer near me in NJ and the 2003 sedans(NOT p5) had different rims on em than the 2002 and 2002.5's. Maybe the dealer installed them. Who knows. But come to think of it...i remember seeing a mazda logo on em, so check out your dealers. (not drug dealers)
Later

I woulda taken a pic, but I dont have a digital camera.

Are you talking about the original rims on the 2002 P5?

And if my opinion matters, I really don't like the rims on the 2002.5 Protege 5s. The took a simple clean look and messed it up.

I'm not talking about the P5 rims, the rims I saw were different new ones. Go to your dealer..it was on the 2003 sedans. I'm surprised mazda doesnt have any pics on their site of it. Pretty unprofessional of them.

Are you sure you were looking at a Protege? Were you are a Mazda dealer?

Which trim level was it? For 2002 and 2002.5, the ES sedan and the P5 were basically the same as far as trim and wheels. The LX had different wheels. As far as I know, it's the same for 2003.

Ok.. Canadians got new P5 rims (the 02.5 refresh rims)..

In the US, the sedans got new alloy wheels for 2003, like this:

(poor picture, took it from my car driving through the lot.. It's a lazer blue 2003 LX, btw)

I saw these wheels at my local Mazda dealer also. They are on all the LXs and ESs I believe. Looks nice IMO. The local dealer here doesn't have any 2003 Protege's in yet, so I wouldn't know about those recieving these new wheels.
