Thanks, mate. These wheels are really well designed and engineered.
Reason for selling is straighforward enough.
I am thinking of selling/trading the RX8 for another car soon.
These new wheels will not fit in the new car that I had in mind.

I don't have an idea, I didn't get to put these wheels on for test fit or anything like that.
Looking at the way the OE wheels sit, I think they will sit flush with the outer edge of the flares.

I don't think so. My car is stock as a rock apart from a few factory accessories.

My Enkei's are +30 - I ended up rolling the rear guards after lowering it.

Pic below is before it was lowered but it'll give you an idea how they sit...

Do you think you have to roll the rear guards if you don't lower the car?
I think the Enkeis sit fine in your car, maybe a front/rear shot might help to show how much wider the wheels sit.

No, I didn't have a problem until I lowered it, so a car at stock height will not need any guard rolling. Mind you, it's not a difficult or expensive process...

Nice try!

Nahh, I've wasted enough $$ on my car and I'm happy enough with my Enkei's.

Anyway, I think bronze rims don't work well on Ti cars.

Otherwise, very nice rims. At $3K flat they'd be an even better buy.

I'd do $3K for 3 wheels.
Or 4 wheels at $3400

On a serious note though, the price is negotiable.
It is negotiable enough to make Bing Lee proud.

Don't b other to check the wheel Dave. This American friend is the first one to get them and I was going to get the same size until I found my cheap thinner (8") set. And when you decided on the RP03 I told you about the 8.5" because of its perfect offset! Remember?

LOL, it's coming back to me. Thanks Taka.

It was bizarre looking at the pics in that thread - felt like I was looking at my car. I should copy them.

Price drop - $3250 or best offer
That's about $450 - $500 off the retail price for brand new CE28Ns.

I am willing to trade (plus cash my way) with a full set of RX8 wheels in immaculate condition as well.
No tyres needed.

I'll sweeten the deal for those who might be interested.

Price drop - $3150 or best offer. I am negotiable.
That's close to $600 off retail price for brand new CE28Ns, not used.
