Granted I already posted in the aftermarket rims section I didn't see this thread.

I don't much care for them on this car. SBC doesn't look so hot on white. Looked much better on my Black mazda

^^^^^ I like them. Thanks a lot for posting up those pics. I think they would look pretty good on Stormy Blue too. You may have sealed the deal for me

I bought a set of 18x9.5 +45 RPF1s off of Broda (great guy, btw) last weekend. Got 'em on, and posted some pics over in the multimedia section - https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-multimedia-photo-gallery-6/lotsa-new-pics-my-stormy-blue-170147/

So chalk up another member to the RPF1 owner club :D

Since apparently the RPF1 outnumbers all the other models by so many, I have to help as much as I can.

I have never seen a good picture of those on the 8 without the SBC coating (which I don't personally care for). Those look fantastic! Are they 18x9 +40?

Thanks for the link. Those are some good pics. I am (impatiently) waiting for my 18x9 +40's. I hope they have a similar dish to the 9.5's. I guess I'll find out in a couple weeks...

How much heavier do you guys think the 18x9.5 are in street cornering? on a scale of 1-10?

18x9.5 of what wheel? compared to stock? You do know that a lot of the enkei wheels are lighter at 18x9.5 than the stock 18x8 right? or are you asking if they turn harder? I'm confused a little.

Yes, but do the tires make up for the weight reduction? - especially if you go with 275s? They are much more secure in hard cornering.

RP03's look really good on your Ti gray BTW!
