Hey everyone. I have the chance to get some 07 mazda6 wheels and tired for dirt cheap from a friend who isnt using them anymore. Just wondering if you all think they'll look okay?
Here is a side shot of my car if anyone could do a photoshop, that would be great.

Is it even the same bolt pattern as honda wheels. I will assume so and say go for it, if the price is right.

Yeah I think it's the same from what I've read.

I just have to buy the guy a fill up and they're mine lol.

That's fine with me because I like my stock 16s, but one of them is bent (thanks to the previous owner) and I can't justify buying new wheels, when I have this option you know?

Just went to try, but the sizes of the center caps are different. Is there an easy fix to this?

Get a custom decal made to go over the mazda one. Costs about $40...I had some custom ones made for my rsx a few years ago.

I personally don't like the mazda wheels...but hey...it's almost free and like you said, it's only to replace the bent one. Can't find a single rim on ebay possibly?

They look good. there is no need to change the center caps. Just tell them you have a Hosda...

The honda center caps are 2.75" and the mazda ones are 2.25". I may just have to let the deal pass for now since I'm OTT anal about the car. I plan on buying some 09 V6 coupe wheels after winter anyways :D these were just an "in the mean time" sort of thing.
