Cayman, are you saying you have 2 rx8's? Nice! Is it true what they say about automatics being lackluster compared to manuals?

I used to have 4 but I've since sold 2 off (both the ones sold are still going strong). The auto is just fine but definitely not as fun as the manual. I wouldn't go so far to call it lackluster but the manual is definitely a better driving experience for this type of car.

Did you own all 4 at the same time?

What a gorgeous car! Congratulations! And FWIW the wheels look fine, especially considering your rational for getting them. Good luck and I sure hope you're enjoying.

Thank you! I'm definitely enjoying it, I've put ~2500 miles on her since purchase (currently at ~15,400). My goal is to swap/upgrade a few parts over the winter to get her a little more track ready for spring!
