Pick up these fantastic wheels today - one of the lightest wheels in this size on the planet at about 13lbs per wheel. I immediately observed improved acceleration and car agility in the autocross after mounting these bad boys on vs my stockies.
No major damage; minor curb rash on two wheels.
Tires come with worn Yoko Advan Neovas - 235/40/17 Front (%0-%5 tread left) and 225/45/17 Rear (%20 left). As I'm too cheap and lazy to dismount the tires, you get them for free. One of the rear tires has a nail which has been holding up strong for two autocross events and lots of highway driving.
Wheels come with all center caps, valve stems, and no-name tuner lugs.
I prefer Southern California buyers as I reside in LA County - will charge PayPal transaction fee + shipping for out-of-state buyers.
$1300 firm.
Thanks for your interest!

Just read off MazdaUSA than the automatic 8's get 16x7.5" -- THESE WHEELS ARE FOR YOU AUTOMATICS! lol
I wonder if there'd be any benefits to the 8's in competition if you ran a shorter tire with these? Ok ok maybe I'm stretchin' it

There's such a thing as "too light" for track? I saw Realtime Racing cars running these wheels (might have been their 18in equivalents)... I'd think the more favorable sprung-to-unspring weight ratio would better keep the tires planted on the pavement.

God i love the bom rsx-s. I am actually running some light (14lbs) 17x7 rims on my rx-8 that I pulled of my rsx-s. The handling is actually better than stock but that is mainly because I am using falken azenis rt-615 and they are still 225mm wide tire just like stock rx-8 size, but the difference in acceleration from lighter weight is VERY noticeable.
These would look and fit nicely on a rx-8 even though smaller than stock.
