In my opinion mazda designed the rx8 with a 5 spoke wheel. The car looks the best that way... otherwise they would have designed it differently. The model T5 resembles a 5 spoke (star pattern) I belive that this would be the wheel of choice. I think the racing RS is a nice wheel but.. the 10 spoke wheel would look better on an EVO then on the 8!

T5 all the way. Classic split spoke design. If you ever decide to sell these wheels, I'm sure you're not going to have a hard time finding a buyer.


How much do you plan in spending? Another member here just got the Mazdaspeed wheels which look identical for about $2100 shipped.

The Advans will probably run you more than that.

Easy on T5... 5 spoke is the way to go almost always. Never goes out of style...

I dunno the weights, but they will both be below stock for sure.

Prices are very similar too, so price difference between either will not sway my decision.

DAMN this is close!
