RX 8 rim dealer price?

[Jetmech]

Anybody happen to know the approx dealer price of an RX 8 rim? Just want the regular finish rim. Was pricing one at a autowrecker today and he wanted $440 for one rim so basically telling me that the dealer wanted $880 for one. Seems a bit high to me but who knows. Didn't get a chance to call the dealer myself.

Thanks in advance...

Your best bet is to PM Flipspeed, he will give you the right price.

They sell them that much for used?

A plain finish RX-8 18" rim will cost you $454.44 each brand spankin' new.

i thought it would be more expensive then that from the dealership.

Thanks Flipspeed, I hate bothering the guys at the parts desk especially when I have no interest in buying. Thats what I thought it would be around. This guy must be quoting the mazdaspeed 8 magnesium rim or something. Flipspeed you wouldn't happen to have the part number would you?

No bother at all.

Part number for the regular 18" RX-8 rim is 9965-11-8080.

Might be a strange question, but wht makes the rx-8 rims so popular? Is it their low weight, or the fact that they're still OEM and fill up the wheel well? And don't they rub on most lowered 3s? (Sure I could have looked this last part up, but it goes with the other questions).

They actually weigh more than the 3's 17" rims.
