Thumbs up Nice Rays

Any opinions about this wheel? I don't read Japanese, so if someone could translate this for me and see if they would fit my RX-8 it would be much appreciated!

Sorry, can't read it either, but my eyes don't think it fits an 8.... too fussy looking (smthg w/the little 'Y' spokes)... but then if it was PSed onto an 8 one could see more how it might look. Just an opinion.

I found a website that lists the sizes and offsets for the wheels. Does anyone know what the RX-8 can swallow for wheels? Also offsets if anyone knows.

I had a customer that was interested in those as well. He didnt even have his new car yet, he was stuck between getting a G Coupe and a RX8 and wanted those wheels on either car.


I personally think those wheels look good, they have to be seen in person to be appreciated.

Does anyone know how much they weigh? Say for 18x8 or 18x9? If you are going to drop the cash, I'd want to make sure they are lighter than the standard rims which I think weigh 22 or 23lbs?! I've looked at the wheelweight web page, but the SF Winnings are not listed.
