Anyone have pics of the standard 18" rims? I'm trying to decide if I want to alter my order and get the premium polished rims, or save my money for a rainy day. Any help appreciated.


(Sorry if this has already been posted by another)

my pic in the corner is the regular 18 inch rim
The chrome or polished rim is like 4k extra
I would save the money

Don't think they are $4k as they are $3k cdn, but unless you really like polished the regular ones are really nice.

And unless it's different in the US, it's more like an add on you get both sets of rims.

does anyone even have a picture of the 16" wheels on the base model? i don't think i've ever seen them before...

my 8 had the chrome 18's on it and I got the car for 4k less becuase I told them to swap the wheels for the polished 18inch rims.

I have not seen the 16inch rims either

cool. Yea, I'll think I'll save the money....lol

Thnx Mike

get the polished ones, there sick as hell. i saw one with the plished rimz at my dealer and omg, sick dizzle. its bling bling to the max. imagin rolling on those, everytime the wheel spins, it be like a disco light.

"when the light hit the ice, it twinkle and glisten"

save the money and get yourself some nice rims.

The rims i'm getting are pretty expensive compared 2 other rims on the market but there only $5,300AU which is $3,407.36USD your money.

and if your saying that the stock chrome rims are 4k mannn leave em!!!

theres so many nicer rims on the market.

they are not 4k.

only 390 a piece

which equals = 1560 for a set.

and thats to buy them separatly. maybe if u ordered them with the car, u can save even more because its like trading in the stock non chrome 18's for the chrome ones

They normally retail for $500 but you can get them for $ 400 each on line.

You decide. Here she is ...

Or this one:

Okay...After seeing mmjames's black beauty, I want the rims now....Gorgeous car indeed. (And finally pics of some strakes....cool)

Well I felt the same way. Here is one last shot of them.

what can i say except...gorgeous...thnx

so are those rims the premium polished rims? if so, those are extras you can get with the rx8?

Fanman---- yes, those r the rims I was trying to decide on. They are upgraded polished rims direct from Mazda. You can get them when u order ur 8, after u get it as a dealer installed item, or buy the rims direct.

I have not seem many with this premium rims are any of you buying them are just thinking about it?

Seriously considering adding it....Depends how much my final settlement from my auto accident will be. If I have the cash, definately

I didn't get the chrome because I want volk or racing hart 19inch rims

personally, the chrome rims look nasty... i would stick with the stock or up for a nice like the volks, or a gun metal looking one on a silver car... those chromes are frightening... imagine them on a yellow or red... nasty imo...

No Probs. I need to go to the coast and get some more soon.

rx8fanman, i hope you can read cuz i am not blind.. i said "imagine", not that it was yellow or black.. or that too hard for you?? i just said its sick in any color, black included, and potentially scary in yellow or red... just my opinion though...
