Looks good man, the polished lip offsets the car color and the wheel color nicely.

thats what i got since you mentioned you were looking for somethin similar .. so i thought id let you know.. mine are gun metal though?

im running a 25 offset for 9.5 in the back and 15 for 8.5 in the front.. if you include the spacers..

and 225, 245 personally i dont think they are narrow.. they cover the rim fully for me..

now 215 on a 9.5 is narrow!!

Isn't it sad that you can change out the rims, get some really nice looking ones like this, and then lose some of the effect because of the rusty rotors behind them? Mazda should be ashamed of themselves. A $30K + car and you have to look at those rusty rotors.

looks good, love that lip on the back. I go thru tires to fast to run staggered.

I agree, if I was going to re-tire those down the road, Id go with a 245/40 front and a 265/35 rear.

Yep, I just got 17x9 for the Evo and got 255s and they fit perfect.
