I want Mazdaspeed RX8 Rims

Anyone know where I can find a set of four Gunmetal Gray Mazdaspeed RX8 Rims? I've been looking but they don't have the color I'm looking for on the Mazdaspeed website. They are all Gold. I'm looking for this:

I've been looking for brand new rims but haven't been able to find any so far.

What Mazdaspeed website did you see the Gold wheels on ? ( Interested )

The Alloys you have pictured are the Gunmetal version of the JDM Mazdaspeed MAG ( Magnesium ) wheel + these are ultra-light weight + ultra-expensive....

Best

HS, wheels look good but not $7k good. I'm sure they are tough and light, though.

You can get them for much cheaper than the Mazda MSRP price. Check onlinemazdaparts.com. They're $488 each.

Wheels are a personal choice. Some people buy Volks for $600 or more a wheel and some get the Rota knock-off for $200 a wheel. Just because there's a cheaper version that looks about the same isn't a good enough reason to knock the price. $488 for a FORGED 18x8 wheel is not an unreasonable price.

The OP did not mention magnesium, merely that he wanted the gunmetal.
