actually, they are the same width...16X8(FD) and 18X8(RX8). At least that is what the books say. The same width in tire as well...225.
as soon as the RE-040s are worn, SO-3s are going on the 8.
and i was thinking about putting the stock 8 wheels on my FD as well. but the wheels won't look right, because the FD's shape is so organic, while the 8's is more angular.

Most people agree, the 11-year-old FD Rx7 has a better looking shape than the brand new Rx8's shape
take care...see you guys at 7 stock(?)

Because he posted the exact same IMG links I did. You, in the mean time, didnt bother to sign up to the rx7forum (takes 1 minute), hence you still cant see the pics.
hope that helps :p

* I think it looks really good :D
Minimal handling improvement consider the width is the same but still 18's look better then 16's.
* I wouldn't pay more then $600 though. I don't know what these guys are smokin trying to sell them for $1500!
* Try and trade them in to the dealer or a wheel shop and see if they don't offer you $400. They will tell you the only reason they would purchase them is to have them chromed. In which case if you wanted to chrome your wheels they would just swap you and there is no wait. :o
