I saw those, 2 comments:

1-the part # they give corresponds to a .050 overbore, not .020 as listed
2-rings aren't included, mazda wants $254 for them, making the piston set $400... pretty close to what wisecos go for. If they came with rings, they'd already be gone :-)

FWIW, the pistons go for $74/ea at the parts counter, so they are about half price.

You can pick up some Nippon Piston Rings on ebay for $53.

Cheap. Any good? Would they even work with an overbore piston?
