Ok hopefully getting these rims!

Yup, thanks for the comments guys. Seems like most of you actually liked the white rims.

I started to think though they might be a tad ricey. So I ordered (hopefully if the guy doesn't bail on me). Some of these instead.

19?? They won't fit. Actually the S has VERY few choices, the offset is even higher than the RX8. +55 front and +63 rear! There are actually only a handfull of rims that will actually fit properly!

That sucks to hear Wing... But to go with Pete's selection... I've always been interested in the Competition SSR's... If I couldn't afford Volks, I would definately get the SSR's...

Lates,

Can't go bigger than 17's with those crazy offsets, my car is 4.5" from the ground with ZERO room in the fender with stock 16's right now.

17x7 F +55
17x7.5 R +63

I can't vary from this much or I'll rub.

I might just get some coilovers first

Might have found a new set, I paid him but shipping might be too much.

The rims I displayed will fit your car . I've confimed it with a dealer.

Is your car all OEM , or do you have aftermarket suspension ?

I am lowered 35mm, without high offsets I will rub. Lots of rims will fit the car, but only a few will fit properly unfortunately. You can always compensate with more camber though.

Dealer's don't always know anything, heck I've seen lots of dealers replace the stock tires with 225/50/16's on the back with they should be 245!

I hear you wing . I've delt with this guy for a really long time now. He's good at what he does. If the cars been lowered then it's a bit more difficult to find an match for your car. Like you already said "The S has VERY few choices" to start off with.
