However, why are you going to stagger the wheel size front to back? You might want to read this: https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-wheels-tires-brakes-suspension-55/so-you-think-staggered-tires-wheels-great-idea-50607/

these are probably some heavy cast rims by the look of the price. I recommend you find an alternative if you can't afford it just keep the stockers (which don't look bad at all imo). What's the point of you wanting the 4.77 ring and pinion and nitrous all that performance stuff and when it comes to wheels you get some heavy *** ones to take you back a step.

They look fine...is your 8 black?
But, like already stated...don't get them if they add weight...no sense in making the 8 a slower and waste more gas.
I'm not saying cutting a pound per rim is going to get you into the high 13's but adding weight to the rims is working against you.
My goal...to find a 17 pound 18 inch rim that can take the TPS, saving 5 pounds per rim should help make my 8 (along with other mods...one day) a bit faster which is all I'm looking for.
BUT...again, it's your money and if you want them go right ahead. If they make you happy then who cares what people think. I think they look pretty good but I wish I could see them on a RX8.

Well heres the real story, My 8 got into a little "accident' some bullshit mistake that should not have happened, so my rear rim got messed up bad, So insurance is going to give me 800 dollers for new rims and tires so , im just going to Pay the differnce of the New set of rims, So basicly ill be getting these rims for about 500 bucks WITH tires.
Im getting my Springs , Front sway bar , rims , tires , installed and in 3 weeks the nitrous is going to be on order , and after that the gears are comming in

^Yeah true, if your going to add monster HP...the rims wont matter much. Maybe one day you will find some lighter ones...but they look nice, but grey with black rims????
Does anyone have a pic of that setup?

Bummed, but bring on OU!
I have Kazera KZ-A's in black. They look vaguely similar, but the spokes protrude a little more and they have a polished center section. Slightly lighter than stock too (at 18x8.5). They are a little more expensive though ($185 at tirerack). They look good on BB, not sure how they would look on TG.

Alright so before i confirm my order
my friend was telling me to put 7.5s on the front and 9.5's on the rear so the rear looks alot wider , or go with the 8.5s on the front.
what do you guys think i should do? wont i have to much under steer with 7.5s on the fronT?
