Must say I'm totally diggin' Thomas' old gold ultraleggeras - really work well with the galaxy gray color (and I'm sure they'd also look sweet on a titanium gray)!

Does anyone know whether the Nissan Altima SE-R rims will fit the RX8? Right size, bolt circle, and offset, not sure about the center bore. I have read weight is in the 18 pound range. Can catch them cheap used at times. Would be a good set for rains maybe.

Thanks. If I find out the weight for certain, I will list it. They are a nice rim. Forged and everything. There is a set on ebay right now with decent tires for 800 bucks.

We put a set on this summer without doing any mods other then a spacer in the rear, the fronts didn't seem to have a problem to sit flat. definitely a sandpaper mod to make it work.

They did mark up the center bore on the wheels a little. The fronts definitely sat better than the rears thou. With a little adjustment, they should fit pretty good. They look real nice on the car too, IMO.

The TSW kinda looks like a cheaper, heavier OZ Ultraleggera, huh?
Is there a TR Motorsports/Enkei app for the RX8, yet? I really like the set I got for the Mustang...18X8.5's are a shade over 18# for $1200/set, so I'd guess a 18X8 could possibly be under 18# for OZ type money...they look nice, too.

Hey Mike -
No current plans for a stock class legal, TRM MT1.
18x8.5, 48et is available, 18.5 lbs and we have 18x9.5, 45et, 19 lbs for a track/aggressive street application.
The news from OZ is a new model, the Alleggerita. It will be available 1st quarter 09' and is expected to weight 10-15% less than the current Ultraleggera.
I have a 17"X 7" production wheel (Cooper Application) near my desk that weighs 13.8 lbs which is 2.2 lbs lighter than the same size Ultraleggera.

...I mean, oil has come down nearly 50% in the last two months...and we are still looking at $3.50 at the pump, here in Kalifornia.
