Does anyone know the price or availability of the new mazdaspeed split five spoke wheel? I'm very interested in them.

 

My understanding is that they are not going to be offered in the U.S. I could be wrong, but I'm also quite interested in getting the wheels.

 

Oh I know that much, I'm talking about getting them from Japan...

 

I can only imagine 3-400 per wheel from Mazda. They look like replicas from another wheel but I cannot think of the name.

 

They look like Ferrari wheels. I love it.

 

I have a friend who's currently in a study abroad program for 10 months in Japan. I'll see if I can get in touch with her and see if she will try to stop by a dealership sometime and get a price for me. Wish me luck.

looks ok, not really feelin those.

 

They are Advan wheels rebadged as Mazdaspeed. You can get them from Rishie. He is a vendor on the board. AutoRND. Here is a link to the rims.

They are not advans, same design, but that's a 600 dollar wheel...

 

they aren't even a replica of the advan 5's. they spokes on the MS wheel are farther apart. MS is having these made by Enkei I believe.

Note that there is more space between the split spokes on the MS wheel. I believe it will only be offered in 18x8 as well.

 

They look pretty damn similar to me. Close enough anyway.

How much do you think the Mazdaspeed wheels will cost? Ill bet they are right around 600.

 

im thinkin low 400s....

i dont remember what it was, but i did a yen conversion & got like $412 a few weeks ago. could go up for the US market, though, if they even come over...

 

Exel Ennio knockoffs $556 FOR 4 WHEELS, 18X8 35mm offset, free shipping and balancing. Why pay more for nothing, you'll curb rash them anyway. Slap the mazda wheel center caps on, I won't tell. http://www.wheelmax.com/product.asp?ProdId=1476

 

You're right. Retail price is around $600 dollars a piece. You might be able to swing a "deal" for around $500 a piece, which is what a dealership in FL was offering at the latest meet.

 

I think one might have to might question the quality & weight of the wheel, though... if they cared. They are very close, except for a few fancy little contoured lines at the end of each spoke. Good find.
