are these the same wheels on this RX8???

kromix

to my naked eye they look different....

No. Probable Mazdasped or Advan TC2 wheels.

how are they different? and mazdaspeed has a big brake kit? or is that just mazdaspeed stamped on the caliper???

BlueEyes

The wheels look almost identical too me. The only difference I see is the writing on the one spoke. The writing on the 8 doesn't have a circle around it like the advans do.

BlueEyes

What's the deal with the chin spoiler? looks pretty official. Can one purchase it?

BIU

the wheels on the 8 are Mazdaspeed forged Magnesiums.....

BlueEyes

so they are

nSanity

bit off topic but where do you get those front splitters from?? 1st time i've seen them and look awesome

those are definately NOT the mag wheels.

BlueEyes

They look awfully similar. Unless the wheel I posted wasn't the mag wheel. I got it off that mazda garage website.

xdrian

they are the connosour wheels not the magnesium mazdaspeed wheels

BlueEyes

I don't understand how they can be the Connoisseur when the logos on the wheels are different. But, the logo is the same as the MS wheel I posted. And, it has writing around the valve stem like I posted

that picture is over a year old and yes those are Mazdaspeed's

hemmingway_bg

mazdaspeed forged wheels at $516 each. Mazdaspeed mag. is $1416 each with red letters on wheel. I keep coming back to this wheel which weight about 17 lbs.. I would like to see a $400 price on this though.

Beating a dead horse. Mazdaspeed car with mazdaspeed wheels should mot be a surprise.

how are you gonna say the mag wheel is the one on the picture based on the writing?? look at the shape of the spokes and center. and those cf splitters aren't mazdaspeed either. forget i even asked.

Mikelikes2drive

those arent the magnesium wheels...
the mag wheels have more writing next to Mazdaspeed on the wheels

BlueEyes

MS forged wheel?

canaryrx8

I believe the MS are forged, they're made by Ray's and insanely priced, if they're not forged someone is paying WAY too much for cast wheels with "Mazda" on them :D

BlueEyes

Well there are the forged magnesium or mag whell, about 1400 a piece, and then the what they call the forged wheel and it's 500 a piece.

if you look at the end of the spokes the advan spoke flares out a little bit at the end.

Those are the Advan rims in that pic. The Mazdaspeed in that pic was the concept version. The wheels were made from Advan. The center cap for the mazdaspeed wheels will fit. I was going to order them but due to the price that stopped me.
