This is the Mazdaspeed wheel. The ones in the OP are not. Don't know what they are.

600 each, they are magnesium and very light......at the dealer you will pay 2400 for the set which is reasonable for a decent set of wheels...

mazdaspeed magnesium are not 600 each, mazdaspeed aluminum are 600each

the magnesiums are $1,685.00 EACH. but they are the lightest PRACTICAL 18's around, wedsport has one thats made of dry carbon, and dymag has light ones as well.

Those are Mazdaspeed's, that whole car is nothing but Mazdaspeed as it's a press pic from like 4 years ago when all the MS stuff was dropping for the 8. Cheapest I've seen the Magnesiums is about a grand apiece as well....yikes.

Those are Advans, but they are custom for the Mazdaspeed concept car. They are gunmetal and have the Mazdaspeed logo on them, but they are definitely the Advans. Awesome wheels, wish you could really get them in that color.

You will prb never have them. They where one of a kind. Also used on a nother day time pic from way back in the day on the same car. If you recall the pic was taken in the sun set next to a shop.
