WTT: OEM Mazdaspeed 6 wheels for OEM RX8 18"s
What the title says. Wheels aren't perfect, I can provide close up, individual pics. Slight curb rash here and there though. I was thinking about painting them, but I'd rather go with RX8 5-spokes instead. No bends, no cracks. Tires are wore out though; so I'd like to trade for bare wheels if possible. PM me and work something out.
I'm in Chattanooga, TN. I'll travel up to 300miles and meet for a trade or ship.

Speed6 wheels are the same size as the OEM RX8 wheel. Tire size however may differ causing your speedometer to be off a small amount. Mine is off 1 mph for every 30.

18x7", I'm not sure the offset, I've read between +50 and as high as 60, so I don't know for sure. Thanks for the pic, devilboy; Speed 6 wheels are the right look on an RX8 and RX8 wheels are the right look on a Speed 6.
These wheels have 215/45/18 Pirelli P-Zero Nero tires with a little more life left. I can remove the tires prior to a trade no problem. So a set of RX8 wheels with little or no tires would be just fine.
I will clean up the car tonight and take individual closeup pics of the wheels.
Sorry no vouchers on this board, I'm pretty much just here to trade wheels lol. I lurk on several boards and post regularly on several more. I've got a lot of ebay feedback, FWIW.

The Speedometer difference of driving with 215/45/18 on the RX8 is 0.6 mph per 30. And I agree...the Speed6 wheels really do fit the 8 much better design wise. And no problem on the pict...I have more if someone wants to see them.

I prefer them simply because I've got bad joints and I don't like getting down to clean all the spokes lol. Here are some close up pics of each wheel:
Left Front wheel. No curb damage or rock chips. No bends or cracks.
Right Front wheel. Very minor rash from 3-4 o'clock, small mark at 7 o'clock. No bends or cracks.
Left Rear wheel. Almost unnoticable rash from 2:30 to 7 o'clock. Tar mark at 10:30. No bends or cracks.
Right Rear wheel. Tiny mark at 12 noon, 1/2 dime-size chip just after 6; to the left of the paper. No bends or cracks.
I had a CV boot split not too long ago and sling grease all inside one of the wheels. I took all four off last weekend, cleaned them inside and out, inspected them for any damage, and re-installed them. These wheels are in pretty good shape, especially considering they've got 40,000 miles. The Pirelli tires are mounted inside out, but I assure you that has no adverse affects on performance.
