Green with teal just doesn't do it for me and looks ricey, especially with stock wheels. Like I said though it's my opinion.
I'm glad your taking both the good and bad comments well though.
As I said earlier. If you like it, do it. You're only out of the cost to PC them.

First, it's not the color so much as it is the application. As mentioned, it doesn't look good on a bone stock green car with no other accents. The Ferrari is a completely different story. It's an exotic sports car with various matching accents. Plus the body is black. Black goes with nearly any color. You're trying to put florescent baby blue wheels on a stock dark green RX8.
If you like it, that's all that matters.

I'm just voicing my opinion because you asked for it. If you want to keep trying to justify your decision to me, feel free. I've already told you, to go ahead and try it. I could give two ***** less what anyone does to their own car.

I'm not liking those wheels either. I've never been one to like green colored cars, and especially green cars with teal wheels.
If you had a body kit and different wheels, then you could paint them another earth tone color with accents on the body kit as well (something along the lines of the Ferrari posted earlier). You just can't compare a Ferrari and Porsche to an RX-8. Super cars and exotic cars are supposed to be over the top, "hey look at me!", both with colors and styling. An RX-8 is not an exotic, and not a super car. It IS a sports car, and I think certain color combos could work on it. However, green and teal just... don't.
But this is only my opinion and if YOU like it, then who cares? It's your ride, make it how you want it.

There's actually a guy about an hour south of me with that combination, and I can honestly say, it doesn't even look as good as that photoshop does. They just don't turn out, right. His were a little more green, but it just, meh. Wish I'd gotten a pic, since it'd be useful now.
Honestly, it is up to you, I'm no hater, it's just not a color combination I would do, haha.
Ever tried white?

The X is silent
I think the combination clashes, since teal has just a bit of green in it. I think you would be better off to paint the car that color...
Maybe you could color match your wheels to the NG paint?

u guys are silly. ofcourse the color would look better on some 19 forgestars. which would be my wheel of choice if i could afford at the moment.
but the tires on my stock wheels are good with lots of life. and im tired of the plain silver color.
its like me saying i dont like ur choice of interior decorating on ur house because the design and feel would look better in a bigger mansion.

Green makes this lambo stand out and look cool:
Green makes this neon stand out and makes it look like crap:
The green is a cool color on the right car. I don't care if the neon driver couldn't afford the lambo, the green paint still looks like crap on a neon. Just because it would be good on one wheel and you can't afford it yet doesn't mean that it will still look good on stock wheels. It's not a matter of it looking better on nice wheels, it's the fact that it just doesn't look good at all on the stock wheels.

maybe just save the money it would cost for powder coating towards your next wheels, seems more logical to me. If you cant afford it yet, then you cant afford it.
example:
if you cant afford a house, dont get a cardboard box and paint the inside and outside the colors of your dream home. save your money and get the f out of the box as soon as you can.

im far from offended.
however i still like the combo even tho no one else does.
before i go thru with it i would either test mount a wheel this color or wrap a sideview mirror with colored vinyl to see how it actually looks with the nordic green in various lighting before i pull the trigger.

that color combo is HIDEOUS.
