Can anyone post a photo of the stock wheel with a TPMS sensor? I would like to compare the two. I think the wheels I bought should take it as it has that groove along the inside of the wheel.
Edit: Going to see my mechanic at Mazda. He will be able to tell if TPMS will fit. More later....

TPMS Update
I showed the wheels to my mechanic at Mazda. The wheels will indeed take TPMS from the stock wheels...just a straight swap. So nothing is lost in upgrading to these wheels.

Nice wheels! From what I know, I think you might be the first rx8clubber that has the MS2 rims (that we know of anyways). Damn Exile, that's so funny how you bought the wheels prior to the car.
Man, I might go for the MS2 seeing as that the Advan's are about the same price!

Actually, I have a whole closet full of RX-8 parts that I plan to install after I get my car. I've been buying one or two parts for several months now. My list of parts to obtain is four pages long on paper!

I can get these for anyone for cheaper as you won't have to pay wire transfer or credit card payment fees through them (or paypal) which is 3-5%. We are an authorized US distributor of JapanParts.

The wheels look great Exile! I can't blame you for buying the parts before the car.....I actually did the same thing. I had my whole MS kit, wheels, and MS exhaust sitting at my house months before the car was even built. I actually bought my MS kit from JapanParts and they were fairly easy to work with and not too pricey as you said before. Course if MazdaParts.com is selling the same stuff.....I know it would be a much safer and quicker transaction. Looks good!

I do not understand what you mean by offset and the need for wheel spacers. Please explain yourself.

No, they only come in Dark Silver. But I'm sure you could get them powder-coated any colour you wish. The mazdaspeed logo on the spoke is only a sticker.

I was thinking the TPMS would fit just fine when I saw the pic.
How much do they weigh?

They weight 20 lbs each without the valve stem or TPMS sensor.
