Opiniones on Rims

Hey guys Im looking into getting a set of MRR GT-5s with the following specs.

19x8.5 35mm offest Front with a 1.5" lip
19x9.5 45mm offset Rear with a 3" lip

Ive never seen these rims on an RX8 and wanted some feed back as to what you guys think of em and the sizing.



Edit: sorry for the retard spelling of opinions in the title

I have to be completely honest with you. I'm not feeling those rims at all. Have you checked the other ones from MRR? I like their mesh-style rims. The styles of these spokes look cheap. The sizes and the offsets should fit fine.

yeah I've thought alot about mesh rims also I do really like the MRR GT1's just not sure if I'd go black or hyper silver... as for the offsets you don't think those would be too much?

Naw dude those offsets are fairly conservative; as for the wheel choice... meh. Looks like every other cheap heavy wheel on the market

i would go 9.5 f/r ...and from my limited experience you can probably go lower offset and still be OK without much fitment fuss.

I kinda like the simplicity of them but I could always drop down to the staggered 18" mesh ones and save myself a few hundred dollars

No way man, if you get these style rims you have to get 19's... trust me. 18's with a lip without being aggressive always look bad
