Calling all WEDSPORTS owners

I feel very alone in this.

Mine - they are track wheels. WEDSPORTS TC105N 18 X 8.5 +32. EDIT: Weight = 7.7kg

Mike, they are weight 7.7kg each.
They are kind of low. The front is AOK wiith fender. The rear guard has to be trimed slightly and roll very slightly so no paint crack. Track the car today - AOK.

BTW, I have the Potenza RE55S S Tyre (or R Spec in your part of the world). They are for track only and I have Enkei RP03 8" + 40 for street.

Here is mine. It is the gray SA70 42 mm off set with 245/45-17 Bridgestone Potenza RE050A. Rim in 17" weight 17 lbs. It is much lighter than the stock rim. My car is a base sportpackage with Mazdaspeed front bumper. Didn't do anything with the suspension yet.

Taka, can we get a shot to show how well the wheel tucks into the fender? I am considering getting a set of Weds very similar to these and I'd like to see how flush a +32ET is for the RX-8.
Great looking wheels by the way!

Looks good to me! I think a +32 offset will work great!

I feel like a loner with my 5Zigen rims Not too many peps have them.

But I think I'm either making a change to Wedsports or Gram Lights soon

18x8 42mm TC005s. I slightly regret not getting the 8.5 width so I can run 245/40 tires better. However, getting the 8 inch width has somewhat made my tire choice for me as I'll now use 225/45 Advan Neovas and save a little bit of weight over the 245/40 RE-01R. I would still prefer a bit more tire, but the extra lightness might come in handy on some of the rougher roads here. We'll see...

Alright here they are: WedsSport TC005 18x8 in 42mm offset, 17.5 pounds wrapped in 225/45-18 Yokohama Advan Neova AD07. Special thanks to Connor and Tirerack.

18.8 pounds for 18x8 SA70s. 17.5 pounds for 18x8 TC005s. These TC005s were on closeout for $325 and so were even cheaper than the SA70s, not to mention they're forged as opposed to cast.
