****, i was thinking that they'd fit my wife's forester XT but her hubs are 5x100. i keep forgetting that 05+ STi wheels are 5x114.5, like our rx8s....
got rid of my subie to buy the rx8.

Oh man. I gotta tell ya honestly my opinion. As a former RX8 owner and a former STI owner who had those BBS wheels in silver, and a current Speed 6 owner, you downgraded off of stock and what you had pretty badly. They just don't look right on your car at all. I think Silver BBS would have looked really sharp, and the perfect choice, but they are too small, so in the end stock rims win out.
Speed 6 wheels are cheap and just plain IMO. I tolerate them because this is my daily beater, but it's a weak link on that car. I loved the stock wheels on the RX8 though, as they were much better.
If this is your daily beater, then forget what I said, but if this is your elegant machine like my S2000 is, time to go back to stock wheels.
Just ignore me. As long as you like them, more power to ya. Personally, I think that is where Mazda cut the Speed 6 short to save money. BBS wheels are far superiorm in quality and looks. Enjoy!

Gold and Red is played out? I can't even think of 5 people on here running Gold rims on a Red car, and i've searched for them quite a bit over the past few months.

I have only seen two red/gold cars on here.
But it seems like every time i open a magazine, or go to a race / show theres always a red/gold car.
This is just my opinion though. People can do what ever they want to their own car. . .
