Here is the OZ's I recommeded earlier...
And A set of Enkei ZR1's, and RPM2's. That was left to right, and all in gunmetal. Also all relatively light weight, and available in stock similar sizes. 18x8 or wider for around $350 or under.

i think you should have cut out those wheel vents in the rear bumper. i think i might prefer the bottom part painted in a rubber black though. still, it looks really nice. cant wait to see it in person.
Its looking good!! Are you doing this right now?? I wish I was there to see first hand cause I find it amazing that your doing it in your garage.

How much was the total amount you payed to do this in your garage? Does you work done match body shops standards? Would you do this for a fellow rx8 owner?? If so how much? LOL... Cause I would rather pay someone who is close to there cars than a shop cause I've been screwed by shops in the past. PM if you do want to post prices and stuff.

Looks great. If you have some dental floss inside, you already have everything you need to debadge the trunk, and between you and your dad, you have the skill as well. Go for it.
RB wing would finish the look off as well.
I say stick with the funmetal, dark wheels, but it's certainly up to you. You could always add some blue claiper paint to copntinue with the blue. IF you add the matte black to the back bimper, it will contrast well with tinted windows and dark wheels.
IMO, of course, it's your car and it looks great.

yeah im just worried about the 5 post in the mazda and flying m logo.and for a spoiler i just want something subtle so i think the rb wing is a good choice. i really like gunmetal with wb i might go with work emotion.
i wish i had photoshop and was good at it.

As you can see by my suggestions, I like the work emotions as well, btu they are heavier and more expensive then the OZ's... And twice as much and rough;y the same weight as the first set of similar looking Enkeis...
