Can somebody identify these rims for me? and if you know, how much, what kind, where?

I think those are the Mazdaspeed rims, they come in Magnesium(super expensive) or Aluminum. The aluminum will be less expensive but given that it's a Mazdaspeed item it'll still have a fairly heavy sticker price.

I could be wrong about these being the Mazdaspeed rims, if so someone please correct me.

this car is the ORIGINAL mazdaspeed rx-8 showcar. however there are very very very minor differences b/t this and the mazdaspeed parts that are actually available for purchase now, one of them being the wheels. the actual mazdaspeed wheels available for sale are five-spoke, mag or aluminum (think they're actually volk MS-01's, but someone correct me), but they look different from this

i have no idea what these are, never seen them anywhere else, could be one-offs? i actually really like these, think these look better than the one being sold thru ms now.... what are they???

these're the mazdaspeed ones

i was thinking the same thing, i don't like the MS rims that are being sold now compared to the one in the picture...

FYI,...$1350 per wheel not including the $35 caps/wheel...but those are the ones shown on the MS Project/Demo Car...I think in a previous thread someone mentioned around $800/ wheel but that is for this new style that isn't all that great...

Don't get me wrong I think some kind of Gunmetal or hued Silver is the way to go but not with these wheels...

Check out Volk SF Challenge...WOW is all i have to say...

but these come with a hefty price as well....i think on the Volk website they are MSRP 71000 JPY for 19x9.5 which I think is around 660 USD...I'm looking at getting these at the end of the month...the only concern i have is the offset...I think 19x9.5 was +48 which is fine but I want to go with a smaller width in front...19x8.5 which I think the offset is like +42 or something...anyway probably said to much here...so kill me...


oh yeh...if your interested still in the MS wheels, contact Chuck at RotaryExtreme he can get them for you...

volk racing makes these for mazdaspeed

If weight is a major factor in your purchase decision, be sure to check the weights for those wheels. They aren't the super-light 1-piece forged style that make other Volks (TE-37, etc.) so popular with the wheel weight fanatics.

these are Forged wheels, and they are fairly lightweight and close to the weight of the TE-37 is the same size. I believe they are 2 piece wheels. If you are concerned about weight, get the Volk Racing Magnesium series - very light, very fragile, and very expensive ($1500+ a wheel).
