They are not ugly and look even better in person. I got to tell you they are fast ran into one on the highway one night. The only problem with them is handling we were on a winding road on the straight it could catch me and pass without a problem but once the road got curvy the poor guy almost wrecked his car trying to stay in front once I passed him curve after curve he got further behind guess he lost his nerve. But all in all that car is fast and manual transmission with coilovers it would be a beast..
just my 2cents

That's fair.... a voice of reason.

And I'm not saying it's the most drop dead gorgeous car on the planet, but they look pretty good, and he's right... in person, there are some nice styling details your eye picks up.

Granted, you have one of the nicest looking RX8's ever, but I think you should see one in person if you haven't already...

Anyways, here's one with aftermarket wheels. Thought this looks nice.

The G8 is not an ugly car, it's not suppose to be a luxury car like the IS350. It's sole purpose is to take you from point A to point B really fast. It's an american muscle car so you need to take it for what it is. Just like the RX-8, it's a sexy car to most but for what your paying you will be burned by a Camry, Altima, GTI (close) etc... Yes it's slow but you need to take it for what it is a practicle sports car with descent power.

does the better mileage offset the 35 cents more per gallon for premium?

thanks! and in this pic it doesnt actually look too bad. i think its just the rear section i have a problem with liking, the front isnt too bad.

ive seen them in person but only in my rearview mirror (they were just driving behind me).
