Extra Info: (I'm just copying my ad from ebay into here)
Looking for a set of rims bigger than 17.9" but smaller than 18.1" Your search is probably over! Maybe.... Please?
I'm selling four Mazda 6 MPS rims with tyres! That's right four! No longer must you steer only to the left to avoid your car from falling over because you could only afford 3 rims! (Unless you own a Reliant Robin in which case I strongly recommended you don't steer at all) These authentic Mazda wheels are 18x7" +50 offset and 5x 114.3 stud pattern.
I may have at one point in time lightly kissed the curb with my car while equipped with these rims so there is some minor gutter rash. However this is nothing compared to the extended makeout session I inflicted upon my new rims. Honestly I feel a little dirty and used that street didn't at least buy me dinner. Some minor gutter rash on 3 of the rims, nothing too major. I can organise higher resolution pictures of any damage for interested parties.
Two with about 30% tread, two with 60%. Tyres are Yokohama Advan Sport 215/45ZR18. These tyres performed flawlessly while on the car and I just tested them out rolling them around my backyard and I am happy to say they still handle beautifully.
I have a number of high resolution photos showing tread and rash I can email to anyone interested. I would post them but they are 1.5mb each and there are 10 of them.
