What kind of rims are those? They seem to be smaller than the regular ones...

Great pics.... but those tires on the auto look huge compared to the 6MT's 18's. I had no idea they had such a tall profile. I wonder why Mazda did that... ?

thanks guys appreciate the comments. I never knew how the 16" looked before I got the car, guess I just got lucky that it wasnt fugly. Anyways, I've heard that the ride is smoother on the 16" but I havent got a chance to ride in a 8 with the 18" so I have nothing to compare it to. ANyways, glad you guys liked the pics!

I've seen pics of auto RX-8's with 16" wheels that look exactly like the 18's do. Is that an option, or are they avalible in different parts of the country?

This is the first time i've seen these split 5 spokes. I like them.

Thanks Baller, believe it or not, but I use a very old Olympus C-2020 Z. It's only 2.1 megapixels but I get pretty decent shots with it, and I touch things up with photoshop. Thanks for the comment. Here's one more recent photo from the San Francisco get together!
