They look great! do you have clearance for turning in the front?
I imagine the air pressure sensor wont work. this is probably in another thread, but what happens when the sensor is not connected? how do you get the light to turn off.

The TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) sensors work perfectly, the last picture is of one of them... They have some tolerance so even with the 36 rear and 32 front pressures they do not give me any problems...
If the pressure drops below 28psi the light turns on...

Thanks guys, and yes there is plenty of clearance all around... This could have been an OEM setup, with every picture I have some comments that explain a lot of the details...

nice wheels and nice car :D
I chose to order my wheels with the same size as yours.
You're not having any problems with rubbing or anything?
How much did you lower your car?
I plan on lowering my car with eibach springs and they say it will
lower my car by 1.2 inches front/rear.
I'm hoping mine won't rub.

Dongwhi: No rubbing at all, plenty of clearance all around even when fully loaded and driving aggressively... My car is lowered 1" with Mazdaspeed kit, it could go another 1/2" no problem, make sure to post some pics when your get yours; would live to see them...

RX8on19s: Car and RIMS look great, man that RX8 is low!; you have to be careful... What size wheels and tires as well as offsets? I am putting together a list of different sizes... Oh and do you have the TPMS working?

Cortc,
Perfect. No, I left the TPMS units inside my stock rims. I did it this way because if I have to go to the dealer for warranty work, I can swap my wheel in a moments notice.
I am looking into buying a set of TPMS simulator. These units fool TPMS into thinking everything tire pressure is fine.
