Thanks guys!
I think that is my favourite rim yet. Its curvy and lightweight, like the RX-8 itself. Sinuous. Fits into the design better. The other rims looked a bit heavy and were too "slab-ish".

Hey yeah, you're right! Mazda6 wheel up close:
On the 6, the tire size is P215/50R17. Wouldn't bother me a bit if we got those rims/tires. Cheaper to replace the rubber than the 225/45R18, and total height difference is only 0.51". You are only giving up 10 mm of contact patch, which won't be a huge difference in the real world.
I hold out hope that 17's will at least be an option. Even the Mata came with a choice of 14, 15 and 16" wheels (until recently, now the 16" wheels are standard for 2003.)
Edit - Should mention the wheel in the still pictures posted above looks like an 18" rim though, not 17".

Hitman 2 takes up much of my recent time... If I really wanted another OS, I'd vote for BeOS to be a strong OS, followed by the Mac OSX, then finally Windows. Linux still doesn't do it for me

The stupid Windows Media player won't recognize it as a format it can play if you simply double-click on it. Right click, go "open with" and select the MS Media player, and it will go. At least, that's what I had to do with Win XP.

I love quake3, so luckily it's available on Linux!

Then I go to play the video today, and Windows said it didn't recognize the file format, and to pick a program to open the file. Chose Media player (duh) and away it went! Gotta love microsoft. :D

For that, I don't hate microsoft... they are there to make money and sell software and they do it very well... These days it's just their business practices that get me mad! Win32 is supposed to be a documented standard... like hell, you could impliment everything they've ever published and not get a working implimentation... as the Wine project is finding out!
Of course, those are my personal opinions, and I am entitled to them.
