Rims and offsets

Hi all,

Was wondering if most of u guys have changed the original rims to better ones....I was thinking of the volkracing GT-U 18"...

Dunno if u guys know which is the best offset that is reasonable and yet gives that aggressively look...

Any idea whether the 18" sports rims provide with the Type S from Mazda is good?

It is actually not too bad. Blends well and it is light.

From my understanding, all 4 wheels, and tyres need to be the same on the 8 to retain the good handling the car was designed for. If you deviate from this; it will be for looks, and not handling as this will be adversely affected...
