For Sale RPF1's 18"x7.5" w/ 225/40-18's

For Sale or Trade a set of Silver Enkei 18x7.5" RPF1's, w/48et. These wheels have aprox 1800 miles. I'm including New Mazda hub rings and Enkei blue alloy valve stems. I'm thinking about going back to OE / OEM RX-8 wheels. RPF1's are great wheels @ 17lbs. They sell for $1,200 w/ CF center caps from Tire Rack + shipping. Asking $725.00 plus shipping from Mesa AZ 85203. ( No Tires! ) I still have the Enkei boxs.
Sorry there is now about a 2 3/8" curb mark just into the silver paint, about 3/16" of this mark is into the alloy. I need to get some rubbing compound to see if it will clean up.

any reason why you went with thinner wheels and lower profile tires than stock? Or were these ran on a different car?

Hm.. looks like you're selling wheels off of your TSX on an RX-8 forum, haha. Try the Honda forums, but even those guys don't like 7.5 +48s anymore.

Come on people! There off another Mazda. "Honda," I didn't think Honda had a 67.1mm hub center? Can't post on the Mazda 3 site because there Mods are asses!
And why would I be looking for 8 OE rear sway bar?

Thanks,
MM

The TSX runs a 64.1 so the wheels would fit with or without the hubcentric rings.

hubcentric rings are cheap, and you can knock em out with a hammer and replace them with proper ones in less than 60 seconds. its the decrease in width thats the only issue i can see.

And the lost of over 5 lbs per corner. (for the wheels) Plus no need to knock out the proper alloy hub rings.

P, I see your still mad because I didn't give you my old Passport X50.

Hey guy, Take it easy, Please!
I don't want this to get out of hand. It's true the wheels where not on an RX-8. When we lived in NM I went to some local Solo's with the RX-8 club. Great bunch too.
But they where mounted on a Mazda. I remove these wheels to install a set of 16x8 FD wheels non-reinforiced @ about 14 lbs then had them podwer coated Flat Black. My BETTER HALF i.e. Meg wants The OE 8 wheels put back on the Galaxy Gray car.

Oh, THANKS for the kind words Swoope.

Cheers,
MM

Haha, I didn't mean to come off as hostile, I just wanted to know where I was selling the wheels he claimed I was.

He also claimed I was attacking him with some kind of offset? I don't know what that means but I've never seen the username in my life I think he must be confused..

I've already talked to a mod, so I appreciate the concern.

As for 19s with offsets that don't make sense? My 19s are +38 all around.
No one said they wouldn't fit the RX-8 but selling 7.5 +48 all around, I mean come on that's a little narrow + non staggered + higher offset than most people want. Face it, it's the truth.

I'm done posting in here because you obviously mistake everything anyone says as an insult. Good day to you.
