What wheel is this??

I think this is a MS or Advan wheel. Could someone tell me some specs on this wheel?

Where can you buy them?

Just to make things clear, its not mazdaspeed wheels, i have no clue what kind of rims those are but they are nice. I still prefer mazdaspeed wheels over those. But yeah, definately not ms rims.

Does anyone know where to buy that color? I can't seem to find gunmetal anywhere. Are they powder coated that color?

Nah they aren't prodrive. I read on this forum that they are the Mazdaspeed rims in which Mazda never released.
