Some pics of my protege5... mazda6 wheels!

Before, stock wheels.

After: Mazda6 wheels (17x7)



Definately looks bettter, the stock wheels were curbed and beat to hell! 4x4 look will be changed once my springs and struts come!

Wow, the style is practically the same, I wouldnt have even noticed they were different if I didnt notice the size difference, pretty cool...

Yeah they definetely do look better. I think you made a nice choice. I wouldnt mind some RX-8 rims for my RX-7.

Where did you find the rims? Ebay?

They wont fit on a P5 anyway. Too wide.

The 6 rims look nice!

you sir are wrong, i have seen many protege5s with rx8 wheels, as well as a MSP here in town rockin them since his stockers got stollen. not only do they look good but seem to fit ok, may need to mess with some things to get them to fit right.

Yeah. Just get a set of 35 series tires and keep your car at stock height. Then roll the fenders.

I guess I'm just old school, but I like wheels that have the correct offset/width for my car.

Yep. There's something to be said for subtle style. Good looking upgrade. So is that a P5 with size 6 feet?
