i like this. I love gramlights. I almost wish the stock wheels didnt look so good on rx8s so i could justify getting new wheels.

I was gonna say, is that offset right? Nice wheels but they don't seem sit out at all four corners right.

Very nice wheels. I agree with everyone that they just don't look right with that offset. Get some 5 or 10 mm spacers and call it a day.

Yeah, spacers would be a quick fix but if your happy with it then that's all that matters. Maybe its just the pics.

Looks good. Once the car lowers, you'll definitely need to get some spacers. It would improve the looks of the wheels by 200%.

They look small because of the spoke design which is of short length and connects far into the wheel. However I love Rays! Had a set of g-Games myself.

Nice wheels. Bronze wheels look GREAT on white 8's. Spacers are a good idea but either way they look good man
