I am sure it had been asked but I couldn't find anything with the search.

mazda uses a custom bolt pattern. You have to custom order rims... they'll cost about $5,000-10,000 each... That's if you can find a company to make them for you.

The EVO VIII and IX use the same bolt pattern, and have the same size centerbore as the RX8. The wheels are a little lower offset (around 35-40 IIRC) and should have more than adequate brake clearance. I have not confirmed that they fit, but I am looking to buy a set for cheap track wheels, 17x8 only though. If the EVO X has the same size centerbore as the VIII and IX then the OE wheels from that car should work too.
