Black Rims.
Like? Dislike?
A buddy of mine whipped this up in photoshop. I've been thinking of getting black rims and painting my calipers black as well.
Gunmetal would be a nice option too.

He's as bad as Can
There are two rx-8 with Black OEM rims in https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-exterior-appearance-body-kits-27/colour-centre-caps-85218/ no need to Photoshop. Searching the wheels area for " black" will return more threads on the subject.

I do like black wheels - I painted mine but left the lip the stock silver color. I think it looks pretty good (see attached).
As for the single door conversion - That would be one long door! I had a camaro with the long door like that - very hard to open them (to get in and out) in a tightly spaced parking lot. Now, if they flipped forward (lambo doors) that would work pretty good.

Thanks, glad you like. I have gotten quite few positive comments including the "thumbs up" from my local Mazda dealer service department. They said it accentuated the overall look. I've included a few more picts for the interested.
