View Full Version : WTB: RX-8 Whees!!! I am desperate!
Front 1ine 03-20-2009, 10:04 PM I have had multiple deals fall through w/ me within the past few weeks. I am really in need of some RX-8 wheels (w/ tires preferably). I have a huge meet coming up and I need to get these so I can get them powdercoated either black or a hade of gunmetal.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks,
Gregg

BigRed 03-21-2009, 10:07 AM I have a set that are in pretty good condition. I'll PM you right now!
lunatik 03-21-2009, 10:42 AM Its weird man I keep having people tell me they have and then stop answering their pms and phones
05rx8mazda 03-21-2009, 11:02 AM i have 2 rims that i wouldnt mind shipping out
let me know
Grungepup 03-21-2009, 05:29 PM I know someone with the gunmetal shinkas... They were asking 800 plus shipping, but that was a couple of months ago.. if you are intersted let me know, I will contact them.
ramos1556 03-21-2009, 07:57 PM You know who I am I offered 4 wheels in really good coondition with 2 good tires for 400 bucks delivered. Everybody knows is a good deal. Not going to find for less than 300 Good luck!
RotaryResurrection 03-21-2009, 10:44 PM Just out of curiosity, why is the market for stock rx8 wheels so big? I see stock rims going for 600, 800, even a grand or more. And not for the special edition rims either, just the plain old stock silver 04-08 wheels. Did 98% of rx8s not come stock with these, or am I missing something? I understand that now and then somebody with an rx7, mazda 3, 6, etc. might want to experiment with them, but that doesnt justify the big demand for them. Hell, they go for more than aftermarket rims usually do...so even if you buy a car with aftermarket rims and later want to sell it, it still does not seem worthwhile to turn around and buy a set of stockers at the price they go for, because you aren't going to reclaim any more money out of your aftermarket rims...unless you have something baller like some Volks.
Not shitting in the thread, just wondering if someone can clear this up for me as I've wondered about it for a long time.
teeds2k 03-22-2009, 12:35 PM I have a set of wheels that came stock with my car. They dont look like the stock ones, and they are gunmetal polished. But if you are still interested they should be on sale in may.
laythor 03-22-2009, 12:43 PM the 3 guys like to put the 8 rims on their cars.. so the market for them is always there

+1. imho the RX8 oem looks good on the mazdaspeed3. Mazda should have used that same pattern (5 spoke) instead of the snowflake type.
lunatik 03-22-2009, 02:08 PM I had the RX-8 wheels on my car before I crashed..... reason why I'm looking for some now... IMO they look sickkkkkk
