Mazdaspeed Ms 01

Does anyone know where these wheels can be purchased? And if so do you have an approximate price?

Thanks Matt Walsh

If you're talking about the MS-01 MAG, you can purchase them through special order of anyone that sells Rays Wheels(Volks) from Japan. The price of the wheels is approximately $6000, these are my dream wheels for my FD, They're made out of forged magnesium and are very light, PLUS they're Mazdaspeed, which you know = $$$$$. That's your answer, the Magnesium wheels only come in 18X8.5F and 18X9.5R in Gold color for the FD. Here's a link to rayswheels of Japan, if you click on wheel index, then look under Mazdaspeed, you will find them there:

Here's a pic of the wheels:

Also from Mazdaspeed's website on the wheels:

They also make ones that are NOT magnesium, those are called the MS-01S, those are cheaper, BUT don't have the same weight characteristics, and don't look exactly the same. These come in 17inch or 18inch and come in Bronze or White colors, here's a pic of those wheels:

I don't know about the Mags., but when I was saving up for the 3 piece MS-01 and was ready to order them (from corksport) they told me that they discontinued them. So I ended up buying a used set for half the price. I think I was quoted at ~$700 a wheel for a 17in.
I agree w/ RX794-the Mags are the ultimate wheel for a 7 hands down. Gold wheels against a IBM GT-C body. Right when I saw Mazdaspeeds GT-C car in magazines, I made it my goal to make my FD exactly like that one day.

I can't you actually stripped off the Mazdaspeed sticker!!! They look like new though. If mine get really beat up, then I guess I'm going to have to do the same. When and if I do, I'd like to see if I can get another sticker made up and stick it on before I put a clear coat on the wheel. When I polished mine up before I mounted them, I didn't even want to remove the Rays barcode sticker on the inside of the rim!
