well... the 2009's come with 18's unless you get the r3 package (then there 19's)

the wheels on the 2009 are the same as the 2008 40th ann, just a different color... try ebay

Alucard, thanks. That is good info.
What are your wheels and tires? Those look incredible.

Newbie here. I tried using search but didn't turn up anything.

How much do the stock wheels weigh in at?

2004-2008 rx8 18" wheels are 22lbs. No idea what the 40th anniv. or 19" R3 wheels weigh.

I'm sure someone has done it, but I haven't seen pictures. The high price of R3 rims scares most people away.

sure,

the 10 guys or women that bought r3s.

sold them, and they are here?

good luck..

maybe and advanced search on the for sale section for about a year would help..

and really good luck.
