Getting better, but still sucky. The 6 lug wheels have, until recently, been aimed towards lifted, 4wd trucks. To get a high offset/backspace, it'd have to be aluminum custom wheels. They're getting better now, but still, 5 lug wheels have 25 times more selections.

Unless you want to spend big bucks for a set of billets, go the toyota route. There jsut aren't very many if any high offset 6 lug wheels out there...

In the next week or 2 I am going to post up 2 sets of 5lug hubs that have been redrilled for sale. I went to a new junk yard since I have cleaned all the other ones out over the years for core swaps, but I am going to do a couple just to sell or you can send me yours and save a little $. If you send me yours it is $225 shipped to you. If you want to do a core swap or buy them outright it is $275 shipped. If you do a core swap I will refund $50 after I recieve your hubs back. Send me an email if interested.
A toyota axle 89-95 is about 2" narrower than a mazda. If you go with the older toyota rear ends they are even more narrower.

As far as manufacturers, there is Boyds, Billet Specialties ( I have those on my dawg they were really cool and made my wheels exactly as I asked right down to the goofy super positive offset! I say buy billet specialties) Budnik, Bonspeed, Intro, and Centerline.
You not going with the yota suspension?
