I'd like to know this as wellThere's a similar set made by Advanti (HY Hybris) at like $173 per for 18x8. I was thinking about getting them but not entirely sure about the quality though. Anyone have experience with this company?

Highly interested in your factory 18"s ill pm you.
I like them. I live in San Diego, so I haven't done any driving in rain or snow, so I can't comment on that. I generally don't drive aggressively, but I have tried some hard cornering an fast starts and the grip is very good. The ride is smooth and the noise about the same or better than the OEM Yokohamas (the Mazda 3 is not especially quiet on the rode, so it's hard to judge the tire noise). Too early to tell about how they will wear.
I picked the tires because of the positive reviews that I found online and the tire met all my requirements. I would buy them again.

I have the Dunlops right now, and honestly don't hate them. Even still I will be getting either the same wheels as you or the TSW Nuremberg in gunmetal and will probably get some different tires.
Adding the corksport exhaust and already have the rally guards to give it a more aggressive look. After that some tinting and then I will be done. I really wish I could find the LED grill liner from Japan, but haven't had any luck yet. Anyone know of any importers selling these?

Swapped my tires out. The Super Sports were great, but the 45 sidewall was just too narrow for my taste, as well as the awful roads we have here in KCMO. They don't make a 50 sidewall, so I went with the Conti DW in 225/50/17. They are on a 17x7.5 TSW Nurenburging in silver.

The pink ones are interesting, Not sure they would be a good match but I like em, and then the gray ones I have seen in person and actually like them, but they were on a 2008 golf r32.
VW looks good with pretty much any wheels it seems

I actually kept the Dunlops that it came with. They drive much better on the 18x8.5s than they did on the stock 18x7.5s.

Stock wheels are actually 18x7, your new wheels look good.
What rims are those used?
