I bought a package of wheel and snowtires for tirerack.com, and I got them recently, but as I was looking at the wheels (they are 17x7 ASA JS1 SML by the way) and I didnt see where you put the bolts through to put the wheels on. This just didnt look right to me. I dont know if anyone knows what I am talking about but any input would be helpful.

try looking to see if there is a center trim piece that prys off. if you cant see any holes from the back of the wheel, you got me!

ps i think you mean the studs. some german cars use wheels bolts, but not the rx-8.

Did the package not come with installation instructions? Have you tried calling their fine customer service?

This should help

These pics should help. You should have also received a bag inside one of the rims with 19mm lug nuts, a 19mm-21mm socket adaptor and a trim ring wrench. You should keep the adaptor and wrench in the car and five of the stock lugs should you have to use the spare and yes the extra holes are normal, these rims fit many cars.
