They look very sharp.

Does it feel different driving with the staggered setup?

Wow, good job on making 20's look good! The car looks great, especially since you've debadged the back......the whole thing looks super smooth. I was wondering how you mounted your fog lights though, because they're obviously not on the Mazdaspeed brackets. Thanks!

Damn thats hot! What kind are they and how much? Do you plan on getting tints? I think that would make it look even better.

Wow, I didn't notice the fog lights were mounted lower than they are utilizing the Mazdaspeed brackets. I like that too.

@4years
yes, this wheels in 20"make the car defently to feel it harder to drive. But i like it.
@cleoent
It is not that much slower, You even can not use the whole power of the 8 is Swiss.
@all
To pass fog light to the MS Bumber was really a tricky work.
The Wheels call in Swiss. Works Wheel, Type LS105.
But i dont know how they are called in the US.

That model work is typically an SUV wheel. Interesting to see it on an 8...

I've always thought 20" was too big for the RX-8, but I like the style of these rims and they look great on your car - in fact, it has to be the best looking silver I've seen. Nice choice.
