Okay there are 2 options:

Forged 17lbs. only $746.02 each hardware extra.

Forged Magnesium 16lbs. used by Mazdaspeed Racing on the RX-8\'s $746.02 each hardware extra.

WOW. They look awesome (the RX-8 rims). I don\'t know much about rims and how much they cost but $450 each sounds like a good deal.

If the new RX-8 rims came in for the car, who gets the old ones? you or jeff?
say, after work in the parking lot you guys settle the question once and for all? :p

[SIM SIMMA]

Maybe you\'ll want to hug him once you see them!;)


But honestly, I like the rims... Kept looking at all the Rx8\'s at MOM because of that.

[Cardinal Fang]

Anyone else want to give FLIPSPEED a cock punch? and then hug the rims. How much for the rubber on those rims?

Come to think about it, yeah tough decision to make....hug sweet lookin OEM RX8 rims or hug friendly parts dude who hooks me up with great OEM mazda parts

[mit-gee-mui]

Let\'s see.

$450.01 x 4
= $1,800.04 assuming 4 rims are bought.

That would be one STEEP b-day gift..... or any type of gift......

And then you have to worry about tires.....

Are RX8 tires the same ones that we\'d use on our 3\'s? Or do we need a lower profile?

rx8 tires are 18s.. so you\'d need 225/45/18 as per this source (http://www.mazda.ca/include/printtable.asp?tablefile=/eng/Vehicles/RX8/RX-8_subnav05_content02.xml)

Sorry, my question is would the 225/45/18\'s be a suitable tire for our 3\'s? Or do we need to go to a lower profile tire?

[majic]

yes, no

[Cardinal Fang]

Before I start getting a headache.

Most people put on 225/40/18 instead of the 45 sidewall on the 3\'s because, according to sources, it will rub. :hoho

what is the inside joke??? i think everything is pretty much laid out ..

225/45/18 and 225/40/18 would work.. it seems like 8/10 people (just made the stat up but roughly that) use the 40 series tire vs 45 when they put on 18\" rubber shoes on..

Clearly this is an abuse of your power.

:D

[Axela3z]

nice rims, i wonder if you can get them painted like that

this is great cuz i just posted on the other thread about findout the best size of tire to fit on a rx8 rim without it rubbin on a 3

[Jeff-TheBiz]

To get them 'hyper finished' at a rim reconditioner will run you about $225 per rim...

ridiculous.
