mazda 5 owners...help!

I really want to post this in the wheels/tires forum but I'm not sure I should.

I have a chance to pick up some 17x7 wheels from a mazda 5, but it's for our mazda 3. obviously they will fit ok, but does anyone know what they cost? on mazda's site, they now appear to be standard equipment. googling it came out with a wide range of prices. I just want to make sure i'm not overpaying.

Also, are all mazda lugs the same? might be a stupid question, but can i just use the lugs from my 8's wheels w/ the mazda 5 wheels?

thanks zoom!! I went ahead and picked up b/c they were in good shape and i was having the damndest time finding used 17"s for some reason!! Should be kind of a cool look for the mazda 3!

Hey - i'm sure this is a dumb question, but can the valve stems from the current aftermarket wheels be used with these wheels?? tpms aside, are all valve stems the same?! i know i can use the lugs from my 8's wheels, but not sure if i need to buy something for the valves.

The present suggested retail on the 17s for a Mazda 5 is between $500-$530 so I think you came out okay .
