Can't find them on Tire Rack. I found some locally,but they said TPMS will work. What do you think.
                  The cheapest alloys were $115.00 each,and then $45.00 shipping., 4 steel rims $380.00.W/o hubcaps
   Ya, I know get the alloys, but I'm hopin' to get rid of Mazda.It cost me $160.00 Sullivan Tire (Shipo) to take off RSA Eagles and put the Dunlops on. Thats alot of Guiness money.So, if I don't sell,I have to get wheels.

I poked around on TireRack a bit and like you, I was unable to find any 17" wheels for a Mazda3 (although I did find 16" steelies for $55 per wheel). Given that this is the time of year when winter tire packages at TireRack are slim pickin's, it's hard to tell if they simply don't carry a 17" wheel, or whether they're just sold out for the season.
 
As for the what Sullivan Tire charged you to swap rubber, OUCH! I had mine done at my dealership a week after I bought the car and they only charged me $96.
 
Best regards,
Shipo

$160.00 is alot(price gouging) - Tulley VW Mazda charged me $80.00 to take
 my Michelin xice's off and put the Bridgestone summer tires on(including
 balancing) and I get a $25.00 gift card from Mazda for a promotion they have
 going on non warranty service done before 03/31/09. Was this the Sullivan
 Tires in New Hampshire?

Mazda3 OEM Tire Replacement Suggestions please by ex_tdier

Pretty soon, I'll be needing to replace my stock Toyto Proxes. They ride hard and suck in all conditions, then again, my Mazda3 doesn't like rain or snow either...but that's another thread
 
I'm thinking of picking up a set of 4 Michelin - Pilot® Exalto® A/S at Costco. I was thinking of the Nokian WRG2's because they have better rain and snow handling ability then the typical all season tire, but they're also considerably more expensive.
 
I don't drive hard or very fast, so a good tire that does well in rain and maybe snow. Any thoughts?

Check the reviews on the General Altimax HP's. I researched them on Tirerack.com and have decided to go with them to replace my OEM Goodyear's on my Maz 3. The price is right too.
