Pictures of Rx8 with other non rx8 OEM / Stock wheels

Im always searching craigslist for good deals on wheels and come across nice sets of oem wheels and I always wonder what the rx8 would look like with other OEM / Stock wheels 350z, 370z. TL s, g35, g37 etc.... So post any pictures you have of Rx8s with non rx8 OEM wheels, or oem wheels in different colors, I had a gold set

heres some I just found on google with mazdaspeed 6 wheels, looks pretty good, I think photo credit goes to ktan91

someones gotta have some pics, maybe its just me but I kind of have a thing for painted oem wheels and I feel like noone ever checks the stats on them they jus go buy aftermarket wheels when lots of oems are stronger and lighter, lots of people have gone out and bought 18x8 wheels when its the same size as stock and the stocks are only 21lbs and probaby stronger

i believe i seen some evo wheels on a 8 somewhere. the specs on th g35 are actually very good for the 8 19x8.5 rear +33 and 19x8 front +30. close to flush and easy fit. plus they are made by rays and forged wheels.

They also have the same style wheel in 18x8. The 18 is from the 05-06 sport package G35 sedan while the 19s are off the coupe. The sedan wheels are not Rays even though the style is the same.

I've seen a couple of cars on here with G35 sport wheels that don't look bad. 18x8 +30

IMHO the speed6 wheels look terrible. They're also 18x7 + 55 or so so they're narrower and more sunk in than our stock wheels.

I kind of like the speed 6 wheels, I guess there not really great performance wise but I think they look pretty good, I want to get a set and paint them some bright/crazy color, but I like haveing 2 sets of wheels one set skinnier for winter tires and so I can pretend to drift and slide around easier, then another set thats wider with better fitment for real performance

Ya know, that doesn't look half bad. Mazda or Rotary symbol center caps and I'd take a set.

I really like the look of the G35 wheels. I'm assuming if the G35 wheels fit the RX8, then most (if not all) of the 350z -370Z wheels would as well. Is there anyone out there that has installed 370Z wheels on their RX8? I like these 370Z wheels:
F18X8 R18X9. The spokes sort of make rotor shapes but in my opinion are a lot more aggressive looking than the RX8 R wheels.
