They are 04-05 Infiniti G35 coupe wheels should be 18x8 IIRC.

They are 17 x 7.5with too tall snow tires, 5% on the aspect ratio and 10mm wider.  This is SWMBO's car, picked these up for a winter set but I like them better than the stock wheels.

When I read the title of this thread, my first thought was "Porsche Phonedials" and I am sticking with that answer.

The important thing is not to be right, but to be confident!

There they are!  I really like how they look on the Mazda 5.

The answer was "Phonedials" so I am both right and confident.  

If/when I wear out the street tires on the factory rims on my SX4, I may go shopping for 16" Phonedials and adapters for my Suzuki.  They seem non-cheap enough that it might give me pause.

Hers currently has Steelers and snow tires.  Kinda looks badass.  Same color.

Thanks, I was super excited for how they looked after I got them on.  Now you know where to get some.  Those are a 215/55/17 Nokian Hakkeppelliittaakkppeeppoo.  They  rub a little it no complaints yet.   That car went from scary to fun with that change.

Once it becomes my winter beater, it will get a lift kit, intake tube and muffler, supposed to be good for 16hp.

We love our 5. Presently rocking RX8 wheels with 225 45 18's. Tried 55's but rubbed over bumps when loaded...

In reply to akylekoz :

I went the opposite way. My 5 is lowered an inch on H&R springs with KYB monotubes, 18x9 Motegi Technomesh's with 245/40/18 Cooper RS3-A tires. Rear upper arms are SPC so my alignment is autocross-friendly (-1.8 F camber, -2.3 R).

Yes, I had to roll the fenders on my minivan to put 40mm wider tires on it.

I went nearly the exact same setup size wise on my ms3. Same alignment, too. Weird.

I'll take things you can only read on GRM Forums for $500, Alex.

Wow, that looks really good. Perhaps better than the car those wheels came on.

I wish it made sense for me to own a 5. I might have to have two kids to justify it. :D

Do you tote things? Do you occasionally find yourself in a place where a hatch would be really nice? Do you like wagons and m azdas? Then the mazda5 is for you!

Trying to make kids is fun too.

I paid $300 for the set with real nice snow tires,  Then sold the old snows and rims for $150, I fell good about that.
