19 lbs lol. And i love sti's but im more of a fan white with gold rims
We are talking $300 for all four wheels brand new still in the boxes so i thought it would be worth a shot

Yeah, if I lived in the city and not in the country I'd have an STI.

Not bad for $300 but not ideal sizes for a Rx8

At 300, it's a good deal. It's stock size and a little better offset. With some spacers they'd look pretty decent, especially if they are somewhat concave.

Most people just go wider when they buy wheels. Doesn't mean you have to.

I would go for it... with 20mm spacers and your stock tires it would look just fine and would cost you less than 500 mounted.

^+1 on 20mm's.

you can throw on 25mm's too. There's a thread on it already in case you're wondering what it might look like.

remember stock offset is +50mm these rotas are +45 so 20mm spacers will yield the same offset as in 9krpms thread.

As a fair warning, if you're stock height, the next thing we're going to tell you is to drop it.

You may not need to shave the studs if there is a void between each hole in the wheel for them to fit a few mm of access stud.
