I have 4 wheels for sale from my 2006 RX8 Shinka. The wheels were on my car for about 9800 miles. Absolutely no curb abrasions. Excellent condition. See the pics. Selling a complete set of 4. $600 plus the cost of shipping from new jersey (07751). Thanks for looking.

everyone, i see there is some discussion as to if these are shinka wheels. these are off of my 2006 shinka edition copper red RX8. I will post larger pictures this evening when I get home from work. I will also post a picture of the vehicle the wheels came off of. you can then judge. FYI- these wheels do not include TPMS- sorry, i neglected to mention this in the original post.

the dealership may have swapped rims and didnt let you know. or if you bought it used, the original owner.

post up bigger pics.

I bought a 06 Shinka. I also had a hard time telling the difference between them and the regular wheels
Other ppl could see the difference right away! So guess my eyes aren't as good as
they once were?
I traded mine for Axis wheels.

Once I Mother's-polished my '05 Shinka wheels I couldn't really tell them from others, but do remember them being a bit darker when first purchased. They do have a unique part number (dealerships such as the very competent Rosenthal's match them by VIN).

Good deal and I'm sure you'll sell.

I have the same wheels in my shinka, and as far as I can tell the shinka wheels look like dark chrome but not very dark. They also seem to have a metallic coating as opposed to the regular ones, I have compare them side by side.

darrins

i will look into any part number stamped on them and will provide that information. i will also see if the match my VIN in any way. interesting.

darrins

ok, attached are larger pictures. i took few new ones. there is a stamping inside the wheels "DOT J18X8JJ5008". I hope this helps. i tried to make them very large but they were not downloading. probably too big. anyone interested can PM me and I will send huge photos to their personal email. thanks again.

shinka on the LEFT

I actually seen that photo before. That pic on the left is some guy on the mazda 3 forums that got his regular rx8 wheels repainted to look like shinkas. Ive seen shinkas upclose when i was driving around and they are definitely not as dark but has a nice shine to it.

darrins

ok, another genius enters the discussion with pics.....

all the guys with shinka rx8's who weighed in confirm they are shinka wheels. there seems to be some misconception about what the wheels look like.

anyway- sale is currently pending, and i sent better and larger pics to prospective buyer this morning.
