What wheels are these?

At first I thought these were just the stock wheels, but they don't look like any other stock wheels that I have seen. Anyone have any idea what kind of wheels they are?

Thanks!

Cool thanks. They are on my car right now, so if I go up to 18's, will I have problems with the speedometer? I was also planning on getting the mazdaspeed suspension (springs & shocks). Will I run into clearance issues by lowering the car 20mm and getting 18'' wheels?

I just got the car a little over a month ago, and it's the first car I've owned that I actually want to mod. I have alot to learn still, so please excuse the noob questions. Got to start somewhere though!

so you have an auto right? its the base auto, if you had the sport suspension you would have 18" wheels that you normally see. Im not sure about the speedo difference.

as far as the speedometer im not sure, im on 17" with tein s tech's and i dont have any problems with clearance issues, and there are a lot of members that are lowered on 18's so that wont be a problem, as far as the speedometer im pretty sure you will be okay.

I believe your 16's have a 225/55/16 size tire. If you get 18's with XXX/45/18 or XXX/40/18 size tire you shouldn't have much if any speedo difference.
