Wheels and Tires

Autumn / Winter

Stock
- 18" x 7"
- Pirelli P-Zero Nero M&S 215/45ZR18
- Great grip in dry and wet, even decent in the snow. The best all-season tires I've ever driven on, and they came with the car as standard equipment. It is also a great looking tire. I'm so glad Mazda put these tires on the sport package with the 18" wheels, because the Michelin Pilot MXM4s they use on the 17" wheels are terrible.

Spring / Summer

O.Z. Ultraleggera Black
- 18" x 8"
- Pirelli P-Zero Nero 235/40ZR18
- Very good grip in dry and wet. They even hold up decently on the track.

August 22, 2008 - Eibach Pro-Spacers 15mm

- Aluminum 15mm wheel spacers. They are required for my stock wheels to clear the StopTech big brake kit. They also come with longer wheel studs.

August 22, 2008 - Ray's Engineering Extended Wheel Nuts (Black)

- I need these extended wheel nuts to go over the extended wheel studs I installed. I didn't want open-ended wheel nuts because the studs will corrode. This is the only extended close-ended wheel nut set I found that has a lock. I looked up McGard wheel locks, and they don't make an extended lock for this size and thread. They are anodized black, and really lightweight.
