Fluid is a great place to buy them, I have been getting plenty of questions about them, go for the gold I say. I'll be rocking a new wheel soon so now I don't mind spilling the beans.
Fluid will give you the best service bar none, just wait till I get rid of mine until you get the exact same ones I have.
It was great talking with you Black Money Pit and I am glad you decided to go with Fluid. Just do the things I suggested and the wheels will fit fine.
For all thinking about going with a wide wheel lik I have I suggest COs. You'll need the heavier spring rate to save your tires around heavy turns even on the street. A few companies have good deals going on and I know Fluid has the Stance COs on sale right now. https://www.rx8club.com/race-roots-134/stance-gr-coilovers-166265/
Another thing to note is sways will assist with body roll which will also help stiffen up the suspension, and keep the car from sagging and rubbing your wheels. But hey, like I always say "If you aren't rubbin', you aren't racin!

Why would you get flat tires? If TPMS doesn't work on the wheels, it doesn't mean you get flat tires. It just means the TPMS light is always on since you won't any TPMS. The tires still hold air. Check the air pressure of your tires every once and a while like you are supposed to anyways.

there was someone a few pages back who said he woke up the day after he had his wheels put on and had 3 flat tires. someone else, too.
maybe i'm mistaken...
but i don't really care about TPMS. ridiculous no-goodery is what it is in the first place.
