I ended up going with 18x8.5 offset: 50mm. I didn't want anything too super aggressive, and wanted to retain everything that makes the RX-8 actually fun to drive. Let me know what you guys think :wavey:

Looking forward to seeing how they look, I like the style. What color did you go with? And what do they weight?

I'll be sure to get some pictures up though once I get them on!

I wish they came in gunmetal... I painted my stockers with anthracite plasti dip because I was sick of the silver on silver and I like the look (from a distance, up close I think the plasti-dip looks like shit). I really want to get some decent wheels but have the hardest time deciding on anything I like. I think the Kojin would look awesome in gunmetal.

My friend bought these for his Civic in the same sizing. I can't justify the pricing for these as they are not exactly much lighter than the competition nor cheaper.

Understandable. To each their own. Personally not a fan of the style unless they are in the wide and more concave versions of the Kojin. 5Zigen FN01RC and RPF1's are a good choice, but you also deal with the "everyone has them factor".

None the less, you really didn't go wrong with the Kojins.

I think they look good. Again I would like them better gunmetal, but still look good.
It's weird they almost look smaller than the stock ones, I guess because it's black on black...

Yea I'm happy with them overall. Definitely more so than my beat up stock wheels. The guy before me must have been blind or something. There was so much curb rash!

Did you reuse the tires you had or buy new ones?
