Well it's just like the new 2009 R3 gunmetal gray rims. You can special order them through the stealership at a special low price of 1200 a wheel!

"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:" (Picture of Gunmetal Gray Rims)

:P I said all they have on the mazdaspeed site was gold. I was looking for some affordable Gunmetal gray rims like the one in the picture I "originally" posted.

I "settled" for RP03's myself. Just couldn't justify the expense of the Mazdaspeed (non-Mag), or similar Advan T5's.

The Mag's are silly expensive and were never a consideration for me.

It's all in the wheels ppl, MPS 3/6 gets turbo but the MPS 8 gets the ultra super duper featherweight wheels that more than outweigh the power of turbos. This is the secret of the MPS 8, not many realise coz not many get these wheels. Did I mention I like pie?

Tear out the back seat, carbon fiber hood, doors and everywhere else you can, aluminum Cat-back exhaust, and Mag wheels and then you don't need a Turbo.

Cool Mazdaspeed rx8 ms-02 alloys

Have them on my Mazdaspeed rx8. Alloys are gunmetal. I love em but, aesthetically speaking, l think stock wheels are better.
