2009 Sparkling Black Mica RX-8 GT with Axis Circuit wheels in bronze.
* weight is 16.7 lbs. each
* forged by Rays Engineering
* 18x8.5"
* 45mm offset
* lifetime structural warranty, 1-year paint
* black Gorilla lug nuts
* I paid $420 each at Discount Tire, but you can get them a bit cheaper online (just make sure it's a legit Axis dealer)
* tires are OEM Dunlops (225 width). When they go, I'll be getting 255 width tires.
The color of the wheels is *exactly* what I was looking for. They go perfectly with the gold flakes in the black paint.

Where did you get the car cover? I recently bought an r3 and I am getting tired of all the people going near the car to look at it when I leave it in my parking space. I live near a Junior High, and the kids have been keying cars regularly.
I had a brand new 06 Civic coupe the first week it came out, and it was keyed the same day front - back. I don't want it to happen again. lol

Yeah, that's what I did. I either ordered mine from the dealer or from Mazda's website directly. I can't remember. I'm not sure if it will fit the R3. I doubt it, with that wing in the back. It's a tight fit all around on my "normal" SII without the wing.

I hope to make it tomorrow, at least for a little while.
kster, specs on the wheel, please! They look like 18s. I just tracked my stock R3 and thought the stock suspension was excellent. What coilovers did you get? Nevermind about the coilovers, I see your post above.

The wheels are the standard RPF1s most people here have (18x9.5 +45).
I'll be at the track in a couple of weeks and then I'll post a new thread in this forum about the Ohlins. But on the street, at the soft setting, they are actually more comfortable than the OEM Bilsteins.
thats a very clean R3! what's the specs of ur tyres? and brand?
any fender rolled when installing?
Thanks. Mounted on there right now are Yohohama AD08s 255/40/18. Fenders are not rolled and there is no rubbing issue. I will get the rear fenders rolled next week so that I can get a 265 track tire in the future.
