These wheels are going on my 2004 Winning Blue RX-8. Within the next week or so they will get powder coated Gunmetal.

As for a choice.... My fiance has been looking for the 09 Gunmetal ones that are 19inch, which were quoted $2100 each from the dealer.

We happen to find these on ebay. They were the only set of 09 wheels we have found in the last few weeks of searching.

we paid a total of $760 for the set including center caps. plus a 400 mile drive to Indiana to pick them up!

I just talked to the dealer yesterday about these rims. He said they were like $600 each for the 18in. They look awesome and it makes me want to go buy an 09' just for the wheels!
Can't wait to see how they look on your, as mine is WB also.
