wow, you are right, I found this on the website
RX-8 Sport
1.3L RENESIS 6-port rotary engine
212 HP, EPA Mileage City/Hwy (mpg) 16/23 AT
Vehicle Features
16" 5-spoke aluminum alloy wheels with locks
Why would anyone buy the auto and it costs the same!!??

It would depend. If you have an AT with 16" wheels, then yes. If you have an MT or and AT with 18" wheels, then probably not. The smaller wheel would (probably) not be able to clear the brake calipers on the upgraded suspension package.

i have mt 18'' stock. thats what i worried about. i afraid that 17'' will damage the brake calipers. however, i have a friend said that it depends on what shape the wheels are.

Yeah man, 17" will be be fine on your 8. They are also lighter, so you will be a bit quicker as well.
Your in luck too, there are Blitz 17" wheels fore sale here in the for sale section for only $800. They are great wheels, check them out.
