They're identical wheels to the one I have on my NB (but branded differently). So if they're made from the same factory in China, they're about 6.5 - 7.0kgs each for the 17".

Well it's definately 16inch, this can be reconfirmed if you use a tape measure :wink:, and just measure the width, and you will know the diameter and the width of the wheels. :mrgreen:
They are definately not a Mazda item, probably just a generic Mazda center cap.

They look like the NB8A factory option 16" wheels to me. If they're not, they look very close.

Is the Mazda logo on the wheels themselves or just on the bearing dust-cover cap? If they're not NB8A 16 inch upgrades, they could just be aftermarket wheels someone has fitted Mazda dust-caps onto

I'm getting there :D

I have to borrow a friend's camera and probably the friend to point it too and take a few piccies before too long. I also have some other bits to be finished up which I want to catch when it's all sorted.

Here is another teaser :wink: ...
