I like them, I dont know what it is they seem very different than anything Ive seen recently, I dont know how they would look on a rx-8 but I definitely think they are hot.

Too much chrome. Would be better in gunmetal.

i was thinking the same thing, I agree to much chrome, but they dont come in gunmetal, but if they did they would be awsome, Im mostly talking about the design though.

The design is fine if the price is right. I wouldnt spend more than $350 a wheel for those though.

With the right amount of fire and gasoline they may reach hot status. Definitely not now though.

I think they look too thick everywhere. I am a fan of that style of wheel, but something like this looks proper in that style:

too hard to judge without them on a car, chrome doesn't bother me but I'm having a hrd time picturing them on the car, not too bad but they do appear to have to much going on in the center.
