I get more confident on the ce28N now...

I still cannot decide :D.

MazdaSpeed is nice though. They are all Rays and they are all in similar price. I might get MazdaSpeed since everyother car can have TE37 and no one will put MazdaSpeed except RX-7 and RX-8s. I might have to see how much they are.

I will start hunting when I get my fat tax return

That wheel only comes in 14 x 6. Imagine if they were 24" spinners.

CE28N's all the way!!!

They are ridiculously light and look great. They also have a machined lip so they have that flashy-ness to it!!

I was considering those myself but have moved onto something else .......lol :D

I could see all those adults that walk around with vinyl hello kitty backpacks and put a ton of little dolls on their dashboards using a wheel like this.

It's official: I have ordered a set of SSR Professor's in the Super Black Coat. I decided after much confusion and deliberation to go with 18x8.5 with a +43 offset all the way around.

These have to be ordered from Japan as Cortc indicated. I am settling in for a 10 week wait (approximately). I think it will be worth it though.

235 vs 275 is a bit extreme. But since the RX-8 have a sight oversteer with DSC off... it is probably me. I would like to have a fatter tyre at the back though.

Not critical... since I hope semislick will have enough grip to solve the very slight oversteer and on the street the oversteer is not really critical in the speed opeating :p . I think I will much prefer same size front and back

Thanks, you definitely had a lot to do with this decision. Those pics you posted were awesome. I just went with a different finish (a finish that cost an extra $100.00 per wheel )

I will put the stock 225's on until they wear out. I will then replace them with 245's (brand undetermined at this time).

Have 10 weeks gone by yet???

Have you got yours yet? What's the status? I'm dying to see pics of those bad boys on your black 8!

Thanks.

Yes, the ones in that picture are Super Black Coat.

It is somewhat unique, because depending on the lighting they can look like regular chrome, or they can look like a "shadowy" black. Sorry, don't know how else to describe it.

Gotcha... so the black ones I've seen are just regular black... these are what I want so I am glad they are cheaper

Congrats again!
