Anyone know what wheels these are?

I'm pretty sure they read mazdaspeed, but I cant seem to find them anywhere other than googling "mazdaspeed rx8".

They also may or may not be the same wheel on both cars, it looks pretty close to me. Either way, I'm in love. Need to know where I can get them/how much I'm looking at spending. If anyone has any suggestions for wheels in this type of style go ahead and post them as well.

Thanks!

They look like Mazdaspeed wheels. And I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong, I believe they aren't made any more.

I would also agree that they are most likely Mazdaspeed wheels. Several things that hint to me that they are is the wheel themselves, but then also that the rest of the body parts that are Mazdaspeed: bumper, sides skirts, spoiler, and side mirrors. Basically what a Mazdaspeed Rx8 would have looked like if they would have shipped one from the factory (if they would have made one).

Also I think they were around $600 a piece and then I think there were magnesium ones for around 1k each.

Never seen those wheels before. I wonder if they're just some aftermarket wheels with a Mazda speed center cap of I they actually came shipped that way and branded as "Mazda speed " wheels.

Wingznut is right. Personal preference tells me to recommend Axis Shine wheels or Enkei rp03 wheels

Just out of curiosity how can you tell? Or is it one of those things where you just know?

Actually figured this one out right after i posted this. Searched through endless pages of nonsense before i found this one:

https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-multimedia-photo-gallery-6/mazdaspeed-rx-8-2003-tas-1797/


I guess they are out of production now, and probably would have to get them second hand in japan. Ha too bad:( and the MAGs are insanely expensive, not that i would get those. I wish they were more available though. Best wheel I've seen so far. The five spoke design is fairly common, so I'm sure I can find something similar eventually. Thanks for the help guys!
If anyone has anymore suggestions of semi-lightweight, not crappy rims in this style please post em here!:]
I really dig the gunmetal, or super black finishes, to go with the silver RX8.

I believe they are Advans, though JIC made rims ridiculously similar. Both are discontinued at this point, Alzorz is selling his JIC rims IIRC 18x8's

EDIT: JK, they were sold, but to give you an idea what they look like.

Advan Connoisseur 51c

It looks expensive by just looking at it.

because of the name, Advan. When i think of the brand Advan i cry inside, knowing ill never be able to spend that much $ on rims when massive hp/reliability mods could be added for the same price.
