lets face it the rx8 is not mod friendly, and who are some of the biggest spenders on their cars, its young people so mazda is smart in a business perspective by offering a fun 4cylinder turbo car the rx8 is just a legacy thing, so there isnt much focus on it from mazda deal with it

I like the R3 wheels but I do not understand what the big deal is. They are nice but nothing special. They definitely are not worth the price Mazda charges for them. In addition there are a few wheels out there with a similar style so they are not even unique. If I owned a R3 RX8 I would still swap the wheels.

Race car look like NISSAN have done to the Nismo Z and the ugly bronze Nismo Wheels 
The interior is more luxorious than the Z-plain dash look. The Seats are way better than the Nismo Z's. Over all the R3 has more Class than all the other Mid-Range Japan Sports Cars. The EVO/SUBY/Z/G35 don't have the same WOW effect as the R3 does. Without its wheels, it wouldnt be the same anymore.

When did they let you out of the Insane Asylum? The R3 wheels only fit our cars for a perfect offset, wheel width, and size + they are Forged. The color is just amazing. I wouldnt say its Gun-Metal... its darker than GM. If you havenet (which im sure u have) seen an R3 in person... you could just stare at the wheels forever. They look aggressive+show. A BBK would be nice behind them. Mazda is retailing them at about $1200/ea. I don't know how to explain it. If you look at an R3.. you will spend days before you figure out that nothing on the car needs to be changed. For Once... Mazda got it right. The wheels let the R3 look like a nice sportscar without giving it that "JAPAN
yes they are nice but they are not the perfect size or offset
it needs aggressive yo concave

What do you mean its just a "legacy" thing? 7/10 RX8 drivers track their car because its a over-all well-performing car. The Unique Rotary is just another thing to love of the car. Have you not seen people come on here already DDing other cars and purchasin an 8 for Track Purposes>?Mike... for an OEM off the shelf car... its perfect. You must have forgotten what

R3 wheels look like. They do have some Good SunkFace to them. Im seriously thinking about Falcon Punching you in the Face. Aggressiveness is ghey on an OEM car like the R3...

Well I think Mazda finally got the RX8 right with R3 editions, besides forgetting to slap on a BBK. Other than that... its perfect.
Mike- I am going to Falcon Punch you next time I see you What do you mean its just a "legacy" thing? 7/10 RX8 drivers track their car because its a over-all well-performing car.

) Im just defending the purpose of them on the R3. The R3 wheels would look right on an S1 unless it had the RE-A front conversion along with the R3 sides and Rear. Other than that... the R3 wheels would look awkward

you said it was just a "legacy" thing so I just said what I had to. Power Wise? IZZYRx8 just dicked and S2k last weekend. Even I was surprised. The only peole bitching about the 8 needing more people are people who dont track, and/or FD/FC fanbois who are used to driving a turbo'ed car.
). Most of them Im sure drive their cars aggressive on the canyons or nice roads/highways. They also do Auto/X. They compete in some sort of competitive sport.

Realy? In a world were base Mustang and Camaro are getting 300+hp and tq v6. At least I know you will be smiling when some broke *** shirtless redneck rapes you at the light affter cashing his wellfair check and heading back to his sweet single wide and accomplishing this in his Mustang 6banger with 16in rims and single exhaust. Hay at lest the R3 owner can say screw spending 18grand I spent 30 and got some sweet shocks and O man wait till you seem me stop super fast.
All I am say is give me a stock option to avoid such an emarrassment
