I cant seem to find any light racing wheels that will fit the same tires as the stock mazda 18" can someone give me some suggestions please?

^Street Racing? I hope you are talking about at the track...The RPF1's come in 18x8 and are very light, also the O.Z ultraleggera come in 18x8 and are much lighter than stock as well. If you have any more questions or want to buy some let me know.

^The alleggerita just came out and IMO is a better wheel than the Ultraleggera. It's lighter and looks better. But both are great wheels for AutoX and Road Racing.

Question: If you're willing to blow 2k on wheels - why not just get a wider wheel + tires. W/2k at your disposal I'm pretty sure you can find a killer deal on 18x9.5 RPF1's + tires from a forum vendor or something.

Though the OZ wheels would be nice - i would hate to have them at stock width - this is just IMO of course.

IMHO - save up some money, Get a deal from one of the forum vendors for RPF1's and tires.

^You can get the 5zigen FN01R-C's for around 900, and they are lighter than stock. Or you can get the 17x9 RPF1's which are very light, and close to your price range.

I like the RPF1s...light weight, cheap, and look great.

Mahwah....not far from me.

Under 900 will be hard. You can buy used or sell stockers and you will end up around that price.

17s are lighter. If my MS kit wasn't so low, I would have been sporting 17s
