2009 Sparkling Black Mica RX-8 GT with Axis Circuit wheels in bronze.

* weight is 16.7 lbs. each
* forged by Rays Engineering
* 18x8.5"
* 45mm offset
* lifetime structural warranty, 1-year paint
* black Gorilla lug nuts
* I paid $420 each at Discount Tire, but you can get them a bit cheaper online (just make sure it's a legit Axis dealer)
* tires are OEM Dunlops (225 width). When they go, I'll be getting 255 width tires.

The color of the wheels is *exactly* what I was looking for. They go perfectly with the gold flakes in the black paint.

and a sad one:

 

Enkei PF01, 18x9, +45
Hankook RS3, 245/40/18

The weight of the wheel came at 47lbs on my somewhat accurate bathroom scale. It's a little more than a pound lighter than the OEM 19s.

I have another set of wheels for the track so I'm sticking with 245s for daily driving.

 

nice. was almost gonna get those...

 

looks good, needs a drop though

 

Where did you get the car cover? I recently bought an r3 and I am getting tired of all the people going near the car to look at it when I leave it in my parking space. I live near a Junior High, and the kids have been keying cars regularly.

I had a brand new 06 Civic coupe the first week it came out, and it was keyed the same day front - back. I don't want it to happen again. lol

 

You can get them from any Mazda dealership and there are a few site that sell them a little cheaper.

Yeah, that's what I did. I either ordered mine from the dealer or from Mazda's website directly. I can't remember. I'm not sure if it will fit the R3. I doubt it, with that wing in the back. It's a tight fit all around on my "normal" SII without the wing.

 

It will fit...it just won't cover the whole rear bumper.

 

TE37x19+43

 

^more pics???

 

^+1 lookin really good

 

Nice rims. Very clean guys, ownage, I wouldl ditch the rotary powered sticker, the spirit R sticker and get black lugs though. TE37's rock, don't take attention away from them

 

09 RX8 Grand Touring - Sunlight Silver on Racing Beat Springs/Koni Yellow Combo
Enkei RPF1s -
17"x9" (et45) with Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec size 245/45/17 Front
17"x9.5" (et38) with Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec size 265/40/17 Rear

 

Nice wheels Rotary808! Good thing I didn't get the rpf1s cause we would've been bobsy twins at our local meets. lol. I was that close... hope u make to the local HI-RPM meet tomorrow.

 

I hope to make it tomorrow, at least for a little while.

 

Got my Ohlins DFV coilovers installed last week. I'll take some new pics in the next few weeks.

 

Now with my coilovers and track wheels:

 

kster, specs on the wheel, please! They look like 18s. I just tracked my stock R3 and thought the stock suspension was excellent. What coilovers did you get? Nevermind about the coilovers, I see your post above.

 

The wheels are the standard RPF1s most people here have (18x9.5 +45).

I'll be at the track in a couple of weeks and then I'll post a new thread in this forum about the Ohlins. But on the street, at the soft setting, they are actually more comfortable than the OEM Bilsteins.

 

thats a very clean R3! what's the specs of ur tyres? and brand?
any fender rolled when installing?

 

Thanks. Mounted on there right now are Yohohama AD08s 255/40/18. Fenders are not rolled and there is no rubbing issue. I will get the rear fenders rolled next week so that I can get a 265 track tire in the future.

 

Thanks. I'm also interest in AD08. How many miles can i get from them?

 

me wants!

Lucky you.
