also check www.tires.com they have those wheels on their database under "Showcase"(Konig's right?), so you can put it on the rx-8 to give you an idea of what it looks like.

I think they're pretty heavy and doesn't look as good as some of the other five spoke wheels that are out right now. My $0.02.

You may want to check sizing first though. Do those even come in a wide enough rim? Most of the problem I had in looking at some of the less expensive options, were that they only went as wide as 7.5.

I think they would look better on something like an Impala. For the RX8...

I think I saw those in 20" on a black 8. Didn't like 'em. Too much atention drawn to the wheels, and away from the car, IMHO.

How heavy are those? What's the color of your car?

Theyre nice... But i think the 18x8's are something rediculous like 24 lbs, so 19's may be 30+ which is a no no
