HELP! Need Rim suggestions

Well guys, I need some help.

#1) I DO NOT own an RX8

#2) The g/f (aka THE WIFE) has an '04 6spd.

Now taking that into consideration, I need suggestions on some wheels. I want to get her some 19"s. She wants new wheels, and has no clue Im gonna get her some.

Her car is black, its beautiful. I was thinking about going 9.5" in the rear....
Just wanting a good combo of wheels.

Any and all suggestions are welcome.

Thanks in Advance.

OMG, those RO_JA mercury carbon black wheels are the ones I've been looking for! I keep checking other ppl's wheel threads hoping something I like comes up. That's it. OK, now I need to sell the house to pay for the wheels... $2999!!!! OMG :O

Those would look amazing on a black 8... love that black on black on black look (the third black is window tint). Silver01TA, What ever you decide to get for her though, I'm sure she'll appreciate it.

I just ordered these for my car :

If you don't like the chrome, SSR looks similar in their GT3 line (you can get them at tire rack). I got a staggered configuration with 8.5" up front & 9.5" in the back. They did caution me that if I lowered the car at all I should get 265's, as I might have some rubbing pproblems with 275's unless I rolled the fenders.

LOL. I dunno. She is VERY picky. She wants a low profile, so I know 19's would be great. And she wants them staggered. Now all I gotta do is just find a good combo.

I was thinking about some CCWs.... any of those look good on an RX8?

Oh and she likes "shiny" wheels. LOL.

I dont wanna spend TOO much at the moment.

I just bought a set of Fikse FM10s for my Trans Am. So I dont need to be spending 10k on wheels in one year. heh..

OK, forget those wheels I said I liked..., they weigh 28 lbs each. ouch. I want looks and performance for that price... in fact for that price I'd also like a hummer...

CCWs look good. there was another thread recently arguing merits on staggered setup, basically saying that it would create understeer. still not sure which way I'm going. but probably 19x9. You/she are both right, low profile and lowered looks awsome on the 8! :D
