hey mates, a question from a california guy on rims

Will the rims from the Ford F6 310 that you guys have over there fit the rx-8? those things look SICK

Cant find any details on the offset for the rims but they ar 19" x 8" 5x114.3 PCD so would fit in that respect.

Cheers

I hope one of the new owner may know... haha. But the best chance is to email a dealer or FPV themselves.

BTW, I think Ford owners are number phobic and I think they will have the number engraved in the wheel.

Anywhere between +35-+50 will fit.

not sure about the new ones, but the old gt's had different offset front and rear. maybe if you look for some replicas they will have the same offset

I haven't been able to find more than these pics of the rims I'm talking about, not sure why they seem to be rare, maybe they're an extra option. I'll go ask the ford guys about the offsets tho.

ohhhh, those wheels, they are the standard ones on the car (the ones taka posted are optional)
those wheels should be easier to find as they where released with the earlier model too (BF) from memory

edit: found it, click here

My mate has an F6 and I have changed the brakes with him(that happens a lot on Fords) and I can tell you that those wheels weigh a ton! They are also different offsets front and back as was previously mentioned..
