Hi, I just picked these wheels up today because I special ordered them 4 months ago in May. Some of you know I totaled my car a couple weeks ago and now I'm left with these brand new wheels that I waited forever for with no car to put them on.
http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=182931 here's the thread of when I crashed my car. pics on page 2.

I want these wheels to go to another 8 at least. You WONT be able to find this offset in these wheels unless you special order them like I did. I know, because I tried to find them everywhere. So I pretty much waited the months you would have to and now you can just buy them off me haha.

I paid $940 for these and I'll sell them for $900 +shipping to confirmed pay-pal address only FIRM because they are brand new and I never got to put them on my car.

specs again: ROTA D2 ROYAL GOLD 18X9 5X114.3 +30 (ALL 4 WHEELS) I have all 4 rota center caps also.

Someone please pick these up!!!! thanks for looking!!

btw (I'm located in Nor Cal bay area)

ouch, sucks that your 8 got totalled before you put the wheels on.

Good choice on the specs. 18x9 +30 w/the correct tires will fill the fender well pretty well for anybody that gets these.

Good luck w/the sale!

What is the correct tire? Will the fenders need to be rolled?

I really like these wheels, so I am curious which tires I would need to price.

Thanks.

Nice wheels. Are they hub centric for the RX8 or are hub inserts needed? Are these forged or cast or true two piece/ combos? Wheel weight?
Thanks.

I personally like beefy looking tires so probably 265/35 - 255 will work as well to play it safe. Fender will need to be rolled once lowered however.

:icon_tup: Good luck w/possible purchase

Thanks. I know for sure they are not two piece. I don't know what forged or cast means. does anyone else here know how rota makes their wheels? The weight is about 22 to 26lbs. its a little on the heavy side. Def for looks more than performance. I didn't mind that since I didn't track my car or anything.

Sadly.. no I wasn't able to get any parts off the car when the insurance took it away. I still have stock parts left over that I was going to try and sell after I get rid of these rims.

I agree with atilla, 265 or 255 would be the perfect size tire for these wheels. I was going to slap them on my 245 tires that were on the car but that would be stretching it a little.

Rota wheels are cast using Al A356.2 and then heat treated. These are not forged.

I would if I didn't need the cash so badly. Still got a lot to pay for after the accident. :dunno:
