New RX owner here - Stock '05 GT in Sunlight Silver. Trying to find a wheel I like but having some trouble finding just the right one.

I'd like a close-to-stock size (18x8, or 18x8.5 max), a 5-spoke design with dark or gunmetal spokes, polished lip. I really like the look of the Enkei EV5 in black (See below), but it's made no wider than 7.5.

Also, the wheel doesn't necessarily need to be light - I don't mind 20 - 23ish lbs. The car is for street only.

Hoping to spend less than $300 per. Any ideas?

A second thought is to go with the EV5's at 7.5 w/stock-size tires. If anyone has experience with this kind of set up (18x7.5 + 225/45R18), would totally appreciate your feedback.

Here's the EV5's - Not my RX, but very close:

I ran with 18x7.5ET50. I hated how much they sunk into the car! I thought of adding spacers, but decided to go with a different wheel, all together.

Check with forum member al0rz. I believe he is selling some rims that look pretty close to what you're asking.


EDIT: Check my profile pics to see how 18x7.5 looks.

Less than 300 for all 4 wheels or per wheel?

Per wheel, that is. $1200 in all.

That Axis Hiro looks nearly identical!

@RX8Soldier How did you find the ride feel? Was is terribly different from stock?

I can't say, as I didn't have a comparison (my 07 came with Mazdaspeed T-II aluminums, 18x7.5 ET 50), with stock 225/45/18 tires.

I can tell you that my ride felt better when I added 18x9.5 with Falken FK 452 tires (245/40/18)
