I was just curious if anyone knows what type of wheel is on the grey Mazdaspeed RX8 that's been pictured around the net. I've searched every wheel manufacturer and wheel outlet I could find on the internet and couldn't find them. I already ordered the complete body kit ($4,921) and exhaust ($959) and would realy like to find these wheels, they really complement the style of the car perfectly. I know they say Mazdaspeed on them but none of the Mazdaspeed parts dealers know anything about them. P.S. red six speed in the shop for two days getting the exhaust and bodykit installed (CAN'T WAIT!!)

The wheels you saw are from the Road and Track (Car and Driver?) Special Edition Promo magazine for the RX-8? Cause the wheels on that car are different than the ones on the Mazdaspeed website car. The ones you are looking at, the Advans, look very similar to the magazine. I think the spokes may be too thick on the Advans - the ones in the mag are awesome though.
No idea where to get them.

So Advan makes wheels for Mazdaspeed also like Rays engineering? Can somebody confirm this please.
