^ the rims only come on metropolitan gray for now.. so the rims have only been put on gray.. not white. but i believe some trims on the 09 rx8 come with those 40th anni rims so yeah... you'll be seeing different colors with those wheels soon

someone on the forum checked the price on those rims. and, they are $1500 each.

maybe that will curb your curiousity as to how they'll look on your 8...

(i know, i was curious too once upon a time.)

it was razz1 that checked the price and posted it on the sb thread.

i can't believe a single rim can cost that much. even aftermarkets aren't that expensive. i think mazda really just doesn't want any 8's except the 40th to have them.

Weird

That's weird because unless I am mistaken, they are offered as an option on the 2009 models, in the Japanese pamphlet that was posted in the 2009 thread they were showing up converted from Yen to dollars at $3600 ish a set. Either way, retarded expensive, I think they look awesome but not used car price awesome.

They would like excellent, I predict. The darker metal would go great with white. But, yeah, way too expensive. Any photochops?
