COSMO MS-01 Wheels

Doc-1 · 09-19-2009, 08:10 PM

Okay I realize that this is most like the worng place for this post but here it goes. My question did RAY wheels make MS-01 wheels for the Cosmo??? If so how would one know if he got a set?

17" Mazdaspeed MS01 5X114.3 +44 offset staggerd
with 17 by 8 and 17 by 9
with funky cap covers and pins

I have these rims on my FD. I'm pretty sure they didn't come on the cosmo's. Think it was a dealer addon for the FD's.

beats me. But they're pretty nice and rare and true two piece. Hold on to them. They're worth about $1500 each.

FD and Cosmo share same offset so FD wheels might of worked with Cosmo.

They were also optional for FC's.

$1500 each? That would make them worth more than an FD

I understood them to be a dealer option in Japan...possibly other markets. So they could have been installed by the dealer on a Cosmo.
I don't think they were ever offered by North American dealers. One of my favorite wheels for the FD...a little "old school" maybe but so am I. And your right, the cap is odd, and good luck finding a spare if you loose one.

Sorry to reply so late on this I have been in New Hampshire. I have all four wheels and the very funky center caps. I will post pictures of these if anyone would like. The off-set is a bit strange for the FD but maybe they are an FD option. Most of the RAY wheels are 38 or 50 for the FD not 44. They are a true two piece and heavy. Have not weighed them. I am still trying to get my MS-01 S wheels from Ramy but no luck yet but am hopeful. I truly look forward to a set Mono Block wheels. They (MS 01 S)all have the 38 off set.
