*****Rishie's Back*****

Hi guys,

If you don't know me, well shoot you should. haha. jk.

Anyways, i'm here to help provide technical wheel fitments for the MZ3, MZ6, and P5.

Naturally i have the most experience with the P5. I haven't fiddled with the MZ3 but i will shortly. The MZ6 i already know.

i'll work on creating an exhausting list of wheels that will fit these cars and try to break them up into various budgets and quality.

It will possibly begin this weekend. just hang tight as i have a lot of things to reference and begin compiling.

Thanks, Rishie

I'm excited to have Rishie back! He's been a fixture in the Mazda community for almost a decade, he knows every possible wheel and tire fitment you can imagine. If you have any questions about suspension or brakes, Rishie will have an answer for you.

But not only does Rishie provide fantastic support for the products he sells, he also spends more time than any Vendor I know just answering questions and helping the site members.

So thanks for coming back Rishie, the site will be better with your contributions!

Thanks for having me BOOSTD, Yo taht FC in your avatar looks mighty familiar. hehe.

i need to pick that sucker up this week since it got repainted. Still white, just a better job.

Pearl White MS6, just email me sales@autornd.com with your budget and sizing you want. i'll see what i can find for you. If there's a pic of a wheel style you like that always helps.

thanks, Rishie

Oh darn. Just when I had convinced myself to be responsible and wait a while to get rims for the Speed6, along comes Rishie!

Personally I am looking at five spoke styles. Two which have caught my eye so far are:

Rota P45F 18X8 48 offset
MB Drifter 18X7.5 48 offset

Haven't found weights for either, main thing is I don't want to go heavier than stock. Any suggestions for me on these? Thanks.

For anyone who's interested, I finally got a response from Discount Tire (aka MB Wheels) about the weight of the Drifter. They are 23 pounds each in 18X7.5, so just a little less than stock for the Speed6.

Okay, due to some problem with my e-mail being returned as undeliverable, I sent two to MB Wheels about the Drifter. Lo and behold I got two responses. The first I have already noted, the one today tells me the rims are 29 pounds each. WTH! So needless to say I won't be buying any from them unless they can get their act together.

Looks like I might need Rishie's fitment expertise for a Speed3 soon

Hope Rishies still around need to pick his brain. Having trouble locating the right wheels. I hate 5 spoke designs unless your going to throw on a BBK kits which I'm not. Seems like I can't get the OZ Ultraleggera in 17 x 7 with at least a +45 offset to roll with 205 / 40 - 17's so now checking out the TenzoR's Type-M Black but in 17 x 7 only with a +42 offset. I do not want to roll my factory rear lip, what do you think? Hope your here still.

I know I am to far to do any dealing since your in CA but would love to hear your expertise.

I'm here please send me email to

sales@autornd.com

The 7 +42 should work fine on a MZ3.

Thanks, Rishie
