WTB: RX-8 Whees!!! I am desperate!

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

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.

+1. imho the RX8 oem looks good on the mazdaspeed3. Mazda should have used that same pattern (5 spoke) instead of the snowflake type.
