Are you planning on getting them custom finished? I can't think of many wheels that come pink. Personally, I think white would look great, but with no lip. White TE37's maybe, then you can put a custom pink pinstripe around for that time attack look, but a girlie version.
haha

White Wheels on that RX8 would be sexy.
Have them paint your rims (or your new rims) the same color as your car.
Then, if you like, have them paint the inner lip of your rims Pink
It'll enhance the style you are going for (I think).
If you do get new wheels, I'd suggest getting thin spoke rims, something curvy... you know: "Sexy".
Lacy sort of spokes on your car.

$1100...I'd look for quality used wheels.
FWIW your car is very busy and buying busy looking wheels will complicate the look. Also I think a lighter gunmetal color would be better because it will pull some of the grey from your decals forward.
Either remove the decals from these wheels or get custom ones made. IMO just go with no decals...
White CR Kai's would look good

^ There are knockoffs though. Rota Torque.
Pdxhak is right though. Stick with a simple design. The RX-8 design is a bit busy and well as your graphics (which I do like by the way). A busy, blingy wheel would be too much though and would take your look over the top. Usually not a fan of white wheels, but I think your car would be the exception. Pink accents at the most.
I know it's a work in progress, but a drop and a lip kit would go a long way in pulling your look together.

Id match the spokes with the grey on your car, then accent with pink, would fit the theme... Fewer colors is better than crowding it, the black wouldn't work.

This car needs aggressive but clean wheels (gunmetal cr kai's), lip kit and drop to pull the graphics off.
A quick eBay check and I found these. Stretch the budget $150 and get these.
eBay Work CR Kai $1250
18x8.5 +38
18x9.5 +38
