What I have right now for my one of 7's are 215/50/13 on 13x7 wheels.
Check out some panasports or Rota makes a panasport replica wheel.
Rotas has ALOT of wheels that would look bad ass on yoru car cause of the 4x100 lug pattern,but offset is the key.

Racingbeat is mostly RX7 and/or expensive. I sourced my stuff from everywhere but. Most of it was either Moss or a dealership.
Also, I already bought the Rotas and waiting shipment. The car flat out is getting 225/50R16 tires all around with 16x6.5" Rotas, thats fixed
Panasports are ugly anyways.

Still have OEM stock intake. I know a guy with a CNC machine in his garage so I'm going to get him to make an adapter for me...I'll be using my HKS craptacular filter from the Supra. Biggest problem right now is that there is no room for it with my strut tower bar, so one of these days I'm going to find a way for it to fit. Might have to replace some of the cross over tubing.

225 are not to wide for 6 1/2 wheels?
Panasports are classic race wheels.

Yes, most notably their exhaust, but otherwise I can look elsewhere for the same thing just cheaper.
That was something I wasnt sure about, so I did some research, and apparently I'll be okay. Took some searching to find it in 6.5 as opposed to 7, but from what I read it'll work.
They can be as classic as baseball, they are still ugly

I shopped high and low for those...except the OEM stuff like timing belt kit, just a few places. Rotas I got real cheap by going through ebay, Magnaflow was also from ebay and gave a best offer of $300 and they took it.
Let me know if you find Tein Basics for less than $675 anywhere
Actually, I think the best would be this:
MZR 2.3 DISI turbo...as seen in the MazdaSpeed 3, 6, and CX-7

Moss and the dealership? 
buddy why didn't you ask me, you should have gotten the OEM stuff from trussville mazda, finishlineperformance.com, or onlinemazdaparts.com, they are cheaper than everywhere usually.
225's are way overkill for a 6.5" wheel, the tires are going to feel squirmy. And a 50 series sidewall is the wrong proportion for the car, trust me, a 45 is what you need if you must stick with the 16's. Been there, done that with a 40 series on 17's with my 99 before. Bent a wheel from the shitty Tampa roads so now I'm back to 205/50/15's for now.
Fuel filter is pretty easy, just a little messy with all the fuel that wants to come spilling out, make sure to clamp the lines off BEFORE removing the lines to the filter.
PCV is a 1 minute job, pull out old and slide in the new. Just put it in the same way the old one came out.
