All right guys, this is my first post. I have read many posts about wheels/tires, staggered sizes etc. I have a 2006 6-sp and my local Prodrive dealer lists the GC-010 wheel as fitting the RX-8, but I cant find anyone with them installed. The specs are 18x8.5 et34 Front, 18x9.5 et44 Rear

Here is the only shot I could find......


Any thoughts from the experts? What size tires to run?

Thanks,

ChrisF

Yeah I love them! Prodrive GC-010G right?
10 spoke forged aluminum, with slight lip
17x7.5 & 17x8.5
If you get them let me know how much they weigh
I found some for $2K+
I'm looking for some light wheels in 17" with a off set and lip.

looks like a good looking track wheel...maybe?

Here is a picture for you guys thats a little bigger:



Also, so you know, that is the GC-010E on this car, which offers concave spokes and a very slight lip. The GC-010G that Dominion is reffering to is the one that offers the differing lip sizes according to width and offset chosen.

EDIT: I think the wheels look great and if i had the money they would be on my car right now. Personally as far as tire sizes I would go with a 245/40/18 front and 275/35/18 rear as those are reasonable close to the stock tire diameters and won't throw your speedo off too much (1-1.5%).
