altspace - Do you have pictures from the side? I'm curious how much they bulge out from the rim. If they do?

I got it from a former forum member who was manufacturing them back in 2006. He since left the RX-8 family and no longer makes them as far as I know.

No, they are AZA Z08's, 18x9.5 rear, 18x8.5 front. Here's what they look like.
