WTT: OEM Mazdaspeed 6 wheels for OEM RX8 18"s
 
What the title says. Wheels aren't perfect, I can provide close up, individual pics. Slight curb rash here and there though. I was thinking about painting them, but I'd rather go with RX8 5-spokes instead. No bends, no cracks. Tires are wore out though; so I'd like to trade for bare wheels if possible. PM me and work something out.

I'm in Chattanooga, TN. I'll travel up to 300miles and meet for a trade or ship.

Hmm........ Can anyone vouch for this guy? How wide are the speed6 wheels.

DeViLbOi 08-14-2008 06:24 PM

Speed6 wheels are the same size as the OEM RX8 wheel. Tire size however may differ causing your speedometer to be off a small amount. Mine is off 1 mph for every 30.

EricsMS6 08-15-2008 08:48 AM

18x7", I'm not sure the offset, I've read between +50 and as high as 60, so I don't know for sure. Thanks for the pic, devilboy; Speed 6 wheels are the right look on an RX8 and RX8 wheels are the right look on a Speed 6.

These wheels have 215/45/18 Pirelli P-Zero Nero tires with a little more life left. I can remove the tires prior to a trade no problem. So a set of RX8 wheels with little or no tires would be just fine.

I will clean up the car tonight and take individual closeup pics of the wheels.

Sorry no vouchers on this board, I'm pretty much just here to trade wheels lol. I lurk on several boards and post regularly on several more. I've got a lot of ebay feedback, FWIW.

The Speedometer difference of driving with 215/45/18 on the RX8 is 0.6 mph per 30. And I agree...the Speed6 wheels really do fit the 8 much better design wise. And no problem on the pict...I have more if someone wants to see them.

ms6 and ms3 guys all love rx8 rims. I'll let you figure out why.

EricsMS6 08-15-2008 07:12 PM

I prefer them simply because I've got bad joints and I don't like getting down to clean all the spokes lol. Here are some close up pics of each wheel:

Left Front wheel. No curb damage or rock chips. No bends or cracks.

Right Front wheel. Very minor rash from 3-4 o'clock, small mark at 7 o'clock. No bends or cracks.

Left Rear wheel. Almost unnoticable rash from 2:30 to 7 o'clock. Tar mark at 10:30. No bends or cracks.

Right Rear wheel. Tiny mark at 12 noon, 1/2 dime-size chip just after 6; to the left of the paper. No bends or cracks.

I had a CV boot split not too long ago and sling grease all inside one of the wheels. I took all four off last weekend, cleaned them inside and out, inspected them for any damage, and re-installed them. These wheels are in pretty good shape, especially considering they've got 40,000 miles. The Pirelli tires are mounted inside out, but I assure you that has no adverse affects on performance.

Eric requested another picture of the Speed6 wheels on an 8. Click on the picture for the full album of pictures.
