Does anyone out there have access to Mazda part numbers or the Protege5 factory accessory pamphlet?

A month ago I had the pleasure of running over a steel expansion joint on I-5 at 65 mph (me and 15 people behind me), which ripped my tires, shattered my rims, and tweaked the frame... Part of the reinbursement deal with the State is that I need to provide the price/part number of the stock replacement wheels. The problem is is the guys working the parts counter at the local Mazda dealer are idiots and can't find the part number or even find the wheels in their computer. After my third visit, they finally found the wheels, but three different part numbers came up and they don't know which one to use. They said that they would call Mazda, but I don't really think they care because I haven't heard back since...

Does anyone out there have access to Mazda part numbers or the Protege5 accessory pamphlet? I need the part numbers for the polished aluminum wheels!

Apolgies if I put this in the wrong section.

Thanks,
Dellorto

this is a good section to post in, but i would suggest contacting one of the dealer-vendors for specific part numbers, trussville or bob moore. you can find their contact info in the vendor section. ken at protegegarage.com is a great source too. good luck

Also, make sure to mention what year your car is. My '02 wheels are a little different than '03 or '03.5 wheels.

02.5 wheels are the same as 03 *fyi*

Right, but there was (at least in Canada) an option with leather and different wheels - same as regular 03, but shiny, not matte. this gives you 3 different wheels in 2 years.

If you want to just tell the state person that you can buy them from me and I'll sell you mine for $1000 (who cares, the states paying for it anyway right?)
