Best looking wheels you have ever seen on the RX8!

I think I have someone picking up the stock wheels w/ your tires tomorrow.. not sure yet. But they were darn good tires and served me well. Only thing I regretted was never rotating the tires.. so the rears were noticeably lower on thread. 
And I rarely drive the car in adverse conditions, when it snows and theres salt on the road, I don't drive it. But that's another reason why I finally opted for these wheels, they will hurt alot less if/when they do get damaged/nicked/stolen/etc because they were relatively inexpensive.
They are Rota GForce 18x9 +30, obviously VERY similar to Advan RS. Thats why I got em, they look good and were cheap. I daily drive this car in NYC. Even if I had the ability to spend $2,000 on rims, I would not buy them.
I love them.

That's one thing I love about my wheels. No knock offs available. In fact the bronze satin/matte paint finish is almost impossible to replicate. Trust me, I've tried.
I opted for no center caps. 1) Price is nuts. 2) I dig the look.
And check this out. The logo glows! They are pre-mounted on each wheel.

Not a fan of the MS spoiler. My previous wheels were black with a polished lip. It was nice, but these wheels get sooooo much more attention. Pics do not do them justice. Trust me, I attend a lot of auto shows.

Haha...thx man. I had no idea they came that way. I thought at first they were just stickers from other pics online. Then I looked carefully and noticed that slight off white color to them that glow-in-the-dark stickers have. Shined a flashlight, pulled away and Bam! It's not super bright, very subtle really. If the car is in the sun all day then the glow lasts for a good 3-4 hours into the night.

I agree. Work wheels look much better. I'm the same way, where my car got a lot of attention before when I had 20"s, but now that I have legit Volks, the attention just shot up by a ton. Now I only get compliments, and nothing else.
