Yea, they're 20s
And they weight the same as my old 18's did
Yea, 20x8.5" in the front and 20x10" in the rear. 245/35/20s front and 275/30/20s rear
I have 1/4" spacers in the rear right now until i can shave some off the inside of the strut covers.

sorry, not digging it, would have looked much nicer with a brighter, smaller wheel and a drop, but it's your car and it's your $ so congrats on your rims 
how do you like the magnaflow by the way?

KY,
I can tell just by your pictures that you have some negative camber on the rear just like I did from factory. You should probably get that adjusted. They were able to add 1 degree to change it from -1.7 to -.7. If you don't, those tires are going to were very fast on the inside and start to "cup" etc. Since you won't be able to rotate your tires anymore, you won't be able to slow down the wear rate.
Coilovers make a lot of sense. It will allow you to lower the front more than the rear - a problem most RX-8's have. (I put 0.5 inch Racing Beat lowering springs only on the front of my car and looks level and rides as good or better)

oh yeah, I remember your car now, the Falkens were heavy? dang that sucks, they at least appeared to be light from the pics and such, thanks for the info on the magnaflow, i might go that route in the future..probably going to do brakes first. (at least rotors anyway)
