I sell them for $250 each, plus shipping, so that price is right. They'll look good. I'm still trying post more pics of mine. The pics that my friend posted for me suck.

Sounds about right, but I'm not a fan of Nitto tires.

mike b,

Sorry if I offended you, but i was just stating my opinion on Motegi wheels, I guess it came off wrong. The wheels look good on your car, but the point I was trying to make is that the RX-8 is a great car, so why not put the best parts on. Once again, just stating my opinion, but Motegis to me are on the same quality level as Konigs and Tenzos. But do what makes you happy

I've been selling wheels for ten years, and Motegi wheels hold up as well as anything on the market from a durability standpoint. I've seen the finishes peel on $500 Axis wheels, and other "big name, high-quality brands" more often than the Motegi wheels. I do a ton of volume with American Racing, especially the Motegi line, and I've NEVER had a wheel come back.

Honestly, most wheels are made over in BFE somewhere (China, Taiwan), and even with the "better quality" brands, you still don't really get a "better" wheel.

Well said, and while were on it, Nitto Extremes are ...and continue to be very good tires....spend the extra for name-association if you must.
