What does everyone think? I think the chrome deep dish 19"wheels would look nice on my black 8. Anyone know if they are compatible w the 8 and TPMS? Probably expensive though.

Classic 5 spoke multi-piece design. Chrome is a little to "all show no go" [bling] for me. Not sure what this gives you that 100 other wheels currently on the market for probably less than half the price don't?

If you like the chrome, go for it. Right now chrome isn't as popular but it doesn't mean it won't be in the near future. Besides, who says your car has to look like everyone elses.

The Hiro's look like a great wheel at a decent price -- I have been thinking of those myself :D For some reason I keep getting tempted by the Volk SF Challenges or the fact that even though they are way too common now -- that the stock wheel look great -- especially when they are spinning.

They are three piece forged wheels that are custom made to order. The chrome is only a paint like coating...so it's not heavy. The 5Zigen wheels are cast centers, and a lot heavier. A 19x10 weights around 25lbs. The face also comes in Silver, Polish, and custom colors.

To put it in perspective, those rims + tires is 20% the cost of the base 6MT RX-8.

Can't you get the Andrew Racing wheels in a satin finish? Chrome is totally lame.
