I haven't found them on any 8's but, they look sexy as hell on this S15 and there's an FD pic just like this one that looks amazing but it won't link up properly......

Gratz on the new wheels Jedi.. i know what you mean about looking over and over and over again at different wheels and tires. Maybe one day I'll actually make up my mind.

18 x 9's... Forget the offset but it's pretty low, I believe +31 or +29. Most RX8 tune shops in Japan run that similar setup.

NICE! What are the specs? I was wondering how that combo would look, and let me say that it looks way better than I thought. Only thing I would change is your spoiler. OEM never did much for me.

Wanted those for the longest time but couldn't justify the price and extra pound as opposed to the RPF1's I got. Nice one though man. :D congrats.

The Evo guys sell a lot of good stuff for cheap

Those wheels are in a word, sexy. I would have to get a different offset though so I can put bigger rubber on 'em for AutoX

Update: My contact on those TCIIs turned out to be so full of **** his eyes were brown. Sometimes you just can't trust a friend to not talk out of his ***. Looks like I'm going to be pushing for some RS's in an 18x9 setup, non GTR face. Which offset should I go with? The options I found listed are as follows:

+45
+35
+29
+22

I know the +29 is too shallow (and for GTR face only I think) for what I need, so I'm guessing the +45 or +35. Suggestions?

18x9 +29 is beautifully flushed for the rear. Camber and roll required though.. Those are Advan RS's on my ride

Not sure about your front bumper, but the rear is sexy.
