taking your opinions

not looking to spend a lot of money on a set of wheels so i was looking around and saw an amazing price for these.

they are staggered and have 18/19s available. and yes theyre konigs.
they would be going onto an NG 8.

Opinions? Great looking wheel, and reasonably light, too.

If you get same-size 18" wheels with same size tires all around, you'll improve the ride, responsiveness, and handling of your RX-8. Wins all around.

If you go staggered, it will look more "cool" to some people, and it won't handle as well as with the same size all around. My opinion is to forget staggered! (Did you read the sticky threads about staggered sizing and unsprung weight?)

look since and simple but the deciding factor is to see it on the car or at least a less cartoonish picture

Would look great on a Green 8.

Same feeling toward the center caps though. I bet a flat cap would look better give more depth.

i agree with the masses, nice rims, would look good on a nordic green but the center cap has to be changed.

I don't like the center cap either. I don't like pictures of crowns; they look, for a lack of a better term, ghetto.

Its possible it will look real racey with the center cap removed completely. Dunno, but they need to go.
