I looked into these for quite a while. What turned me off was that they had a bad reputation for cracking. Might wanna see if that is still an issue. Was a fair bit of info on the US forums.
And getting the warranty sorted is an issue with no local disty that I am aware of. |

Great wheels no problems with cracking or otherwise for me. I brought them in from tirerack directly.

Maybe you were one of the lucky ones
But I assure you that there are plenty of reported cases. And from what I read, getting the issue dealt with under warranty was a challenge. And just sharing the results of hours of my research with the OP. Fantastic looking wheel though. One of my favourites. |

I can attest to this statement. Over on the Mazdaspeed forums there were many cases of cracked GTS-R's.

Are you sure its the GTS-R not the GTS? Apparently the GTS-R has a completely different metalurgy and structure, which is what caused the cracks in the GTS's

The above relates to the GTS-R's... but it is an old post.... You would have thought that the they would have fixed the issue - if it was an issue. But I haven't reserached it since deciding to not to chance it. |
