Those who have run them have liked them from I know. I think they are decent. Maybe on the heavy side but if you are not tracking then what the hell.

very clean wheels

hey thanks for putting up the pic i was just reading the stick on how to do that after my previous fail! but yeah i like them. i have done some novice drifting with my stock wheels for fun at a nearby track so if i feel like doing that i will just throw them back on. thought they would be heavy as the sight could not verify weight. weird size too 18x9.75 +20

Those specs would make your car sit sick with coilovers. 18 x 8.75 +20 would be good, 18 x 8.75 +35 would be even safer.


Go for it, be the first. My new wheels come in Wednesday and I will be the only RX8 running them

A couple of the best nights of my life were in Miami. I grew up in Sarasota, I have been to Miami a few times.

What made you want to get 17s? With that style wheel I think 18s would look way better but it will be nice to see someone with this style wheel either way.
I plan on getting the 18x8.75 +35 in a month or so.

Post some pics when you get them.
