I exchanged wheels!! for my RX8
I exchanged the wheels of my RX8 with those one which had been searching and Finding today.:D
(I looked for it for two month.)
My RX8 was replaced with 18inch hweel from 16inch hweel.
I like the 18inch hweel's drive feeling better than 16inches.
I felt the weight of a car, while driving with the 16inch wheel sometimes.
But When I changed to the 18 inch wheel, I did not felt that weight.
My normal hweel
16inch X 7.5JJ 225 / 55 R16 94V
New hweel
18inch X 7.5JJ 225 / 45 R18 91W Bridgestone POTENZA-GúB
I love yellow with the black hweel.
thanks all

I don't really care for them, black rims almost look like a car with stock/standard iron rims with no hub cabs, especially from a distance. But that's my opinion...
Certianly different...

Other Options
Hi East Moon. yor car and the new wheels look great!!
Have you considered some of the other options that are currently available in Japan but not in the USA? For example, the Starter Buton, the Fender trim pieces (2 chrome/aluminumm strips) that go behind the wheel, etc.
Please let us knwo which of the options you think are worthshile and we can lobby for them in the States. Thanks very much.

Lobby for the Starter button, Strakes (official name for what you call the Fender trim pieces), LED shifter, and lip spoiler!!!

But sorry
The options which I ordered are only an Aluminum-pedal-set, Floor mat, and CD.
I thought that delivery will be late, when I ordered many options.
and
I gave priority to exchanging wheels first.
and I am waiting for the product of other part companies.
everyone thank you very much for your reply.

if you can't see the pics right click on them and then click properties. copy the url and paste it into the address bar on your browser. that should take you to where the pic is hosted and you should be able to see the pic. then after doing the first one click your back button and you should most if not all of them in his posts. this doen't always work but it worked for me in this instance.
