Don't get me wrong, I love the 2004 Mazda 6 Rims, they are clean and to the point. BUT. I am looking for something different do to the stains on them from who knows what

Due to the fact where my girlfriends parents are all about the "Spend your money on things you need etc... that bs..." I am limited to what I can get haha funny right?

I am looking for rims that are not flashy but are very clean. I am not into that black on black thing due to the fact that my car is white. Just looking for not expensive rims, clean and not flashy but are very nice. I have been on this one site where its Java run and I can choose any rims I want but hell I am lazy and would rather get some idea's on maybe where to look price wise

Try tirerack they will let you see the wheels on the car. I fail to see what your girlfriends parents have to do with anything as it's your car and your money, not theirs. Other sites to check would be Weel dude, and Discount tire. As for telling you what to get, not gonna happen. I'll tell you to stay away from 20" wheels as you cannot get tires with the proper load rating thus they are not safe for the car, 19's are pushing it, but can be done. 18's or 17's are your safest bet and will give you the widest selection of tires that will fit and have the proper load rating. Personally, I run ASA AR1's in 18"x7.5" with Dunlop SP Sport Signatures in 225/45 R18's for daily duty. The setup ran around $1156 before shipping, mounting, and balancing. If that is going to be too expensive for you, you may want to consider holding off on new wheels, or start looking around at for sale sections of forums and at craigs list. Remember though, bolt pattern is 5x114.3 and you want to keep the offset no lower than 48mm if you are squeamish about fender modification.

 

1200 dollars for what? I am looking at nice rims for a Mazda 6 at 180 bucks a piece, I dont plan on buying new wheels and if I do I would just put summer tires on the rims I would buy. Unless I am totally oblivious to something?

 

1200 was total for all 4 wheels and all 4 tires, the stuff adds up man, do the math. Those wheels at 180 per will run you 720 for all 4 add in a set of new tires and 1200 isn't too far off. Heck if your tires are $100 a pop you are at 1120 before mounting and balancing.

 

Well that sucks... I will have to get the same stats on my rims now on another nicer set of rims so I can just trade tires lol.

 

Swaping the tires out will definitely help make things cheaper. Unffortunately I switched to 18's so that wasn't an option for me. And my 17" race wheels had much better tires on them, so there was no need to change those.

 

Will look for the same stats on rims then. Then will switch to some more lower profile ones then.

 

Beware going with a lower profile tire and the same size wheel, it will throw off your spedometer, and you run the risk of getting too low of a load rating.
