Wheel/Tire size?

Ok i know i've been posting alot of threads about wheels. thats just because i'm really trying to find the best one for the best price. I found this on ebay, so what i would like to know is.

-Will the tires fit good or will they effect anything? Size- 225-40-18
-Are the tires good quality? or are they terrible?
-And if i wanted to remove the benz emblem in the middle of the wheel. would it be hard/costly?

They will fit, your spedo will read 2 mph faster.
Not alot of reviews on that tire good or bad
That should just pop out, not sure what you would put in its place.

That is very much a local thing. Last time I had to get tires mounted on rims it coast $20 each and I still had to put them on the car myself.

Nope, a search of the site returns only one for sale post about CHAMPIRO tires. Since a Google search doesn't bring back much on them also your flying solo with these. I would get the set, sell the tires and buy a better known brand. Tires are the only thing between you and road why go cheap?

Ok so i think i'm finally going to come to a conclusion about these wheels. i think i'm going to buy them. Just want to know if anyone thinks they will look good on my black rx8.

i think they'll look pretty good but the decision is completely yours. I would ditch the tires and go for a set of kumhos if price is a big issue, maybe see if they can just sell you the setup wheels only.
