Best solution is to go with 17" rims and tires as a long term investment. Only problem is getting official word on what 17" rims will fit.
 
If it is any help, fitting 17"s on the MS6 worked. I believe the Mazdaspeed3 uses the same brake system. 16"s are too small, the brake calipers get in the way.

"This is not a car that will sell on sales sizzle, IMHO. If you can bide your time and wait for discounts or S-Plan, I'd do that"
 
Wrong! There are only going to be 5,000 of these produced in North America and only 250 In Canada... do not hold your breath for dealer discounts, there will be no Factory rebates... and Dealers don't even have to honor an S-Plan, participation is voluntary.... especially on a limited car like this... if you get a chance.. BUY THIS CAR NOW! Can't find a better performing car for the money, period.

If the sales are that hot, it'll be like the chip commercial with Jay Leno: "Don't worry, we'll make more."

True, dealers do not have to honor S-Plan for any vehicle, however, S-Plan is not even being offered by Mazda on the Mazdaspeed3.

Could you explain how?? The Mazda3 can't meet worldwide demand now, how can they make more?

I think he was referring specifically to the Speed3 and not the Mazda3.
 
And if the profit margin is higher on the Speed3, it would make sense (to me anyway) to SHIFT production to more Speed3 cars and fewer non-Speed Mazda3 hatches.

What Rorr said, if it's even necessary to take any production away from the 3. But if they can't meet demand for the regular 3, there's a way to deal with that: increase prices. Are they even selling the 3's at MSRP? I think they're selling most of the MS3 at MSRP.

Audi S3 : German for Mazdaspeed3? by autonomous

Edmunds' article on the new Audi S3 reveals telling similarities and differences to the Mazdaspeed3. Interesting to see how both tone down the differences from their regularly aspirated twins. The Audi is astonishingly double the price of the Mazda.

That's the base Mazda3, not the Mazdaspeed unfortunately.
