I have had the rims for a few months now, just haven't gotten around to posting my pics on Google.. Here is a link.

Specs: Enkei RS+M 18x7.5 Offset 48 (~4.5 lbs lighter according to my scale )

Sorry about the rotor rust.. I should have taken the car out for a quick spin to rub off the rust after washing the car. One thing is clear, I need to paint the calibers and the rotors.

a drop would be nice too

So they produce a 18x8.5 +35 offset that would be more ideal for the RX8, just a FYI. You can run 245/40/18's on the 8.5 +35's.

Looks nice tho.

A small drop might be my next project. Haven't decided.

I had considered the 18x8.5 +35 but they were heavier and when I set out looking for new wheels I decided my priority was to shave off some pounds.

I think losing 18 lbs of rotating mass has made a noticeable improvement in steering response, but it didn't seem to effect the pickup at all. This surprised me a bit.. I had expected an improvement in pickup but didn't expect anything on the steering response side.

what's your tire size? since you're probably not gaining more traction and grip, there shouldn't be much difference in pick up.

The RS+M isn't amongst their lightest wheels. Did you just use the same stock tires also?

Yep, stock rubber size.

True, the RS+M is not the lightest but it is quite light. It's Enkei's 2nd lightest, only 0.8 lbs heavier then the RPF1 and personally I don't like the look of the RPF1.

I hear some people have gone to 17" rims to save weight, but I didn't want to go that far.
