Checked on the way home and Barnetts have sold their Dealer Principals car as pictured above along with the wheels which I think were sold to someone else.
They have just got in another set of Kahn RSC-II wheels for anyone interested in them.
Pictures above were taken in Bradford West Yorkshire.

I have 19'S now and those look MUCH bigger, even if my car was lowered the wheel wells would not be that full. I think it is possibly a 20" wheel. RO_JA is working on a 20" custom offset for me as well.

But I've worked out that you'd need 225/35 R19 tyres to get the same rolling radius, which gives you some different options for tyres. Goodyear F1's for example which are a personal favorite on my current MX-6 here in the land of rain (UK).
The only problem is though, it might upset the handling. You'd probably have more grip, but it might let go more suddenly and be less forgiving at the limit.

Actually...
stock 225/45 18
Mazdaspeed A-spec 225/40 19 (this gives you the closet fit to stock diameter).
245/35 19 is not a bad alternative.

The blue one seems wearing 19s but i can't believe that the red has 19s!!??
They look like 20s..But maybe the suspension make them look bigger....
Nice Rim but i wonder which dimensions for the tires??
