Decided on Wheels...
Well I decided on the new wheels for the RX8 and ordered them today. They are HRE 447Rs and they are custom built, getting them in about 4 weeks silver with polished lip w/ center cap black & silver...
19x8.5 Front w/ 48mm Offset
19x9.5 Rear w/ 44mm Offset
Tires will be S-03s 245/35-19 (Front) & 275/30-19 (Rear)
Went with these since I did not want to compromise on offsets and the TPMS sensors work perfectly with these, another trick feature is the valves are mounted in the center of the rim...
Now the wait begins...
What do you guys think?

I don't want to see them on your car because I will think I have to have them too! The wife would never let me spend that much for wheels, you know the grind... THE CAR ALREADY HAS WHEELS THAT LOOK PERFECTLY FINE!

I also get a similar response from the wife, but then I just remind her how much less expensive this car is compared to my last car. It was a 1999 996 C2 w/ just about everything, and I actually like the RX8 much more. This is a very nice car, the stock handling is better than the Porsche & with the MS suspension it is about as good as it gets... I plan on posting a review of the complete MS suspension soon with pictures, just need to find the time.
