Wife bent another wheel on her 2006 mazda5. 

I have decided that,  since we need tires AND teo wheels, im going to 16s.

Need a set. Probably from a mazda6 or mazda3

 Gotta be steel wheels. 

Local to nc or get them to the challenge and i can talk someone into bringing them up here.

Anyone got a set that needs to go away?

After she bent the wheel did you tell her that you loved her?

If Mazda 6 might fit then chassis mate, Ford Fusion might fit (check to be sure.) 

The Fusion offered steel wheels and attractive hub caps to cover them. These are also plentiful in most JYs.

Via RockAuto I found that Dorman offers a Fusion Steel wheel.  

Dorman Specs

Amazon will free ship them to you for $69.77 each. Easy returns if you're wrong and they dont fit.   Walmart will ship them to you for $71 and maybe even easier return to the store.

Sample of Fusion cap over steel.  I think these are 17" which you might need for clearing the Mazda5 brakes.

NC Miata and current Mazda 3 are this same bolt pattern (5x114) so that opens up other factory options.
