BS Legal Volk Wheels?
These look like they are BS legal......The color is great! I'll probably pass but thought I would pass the link on.

Not a one piece wheel, bet its not very light for a volk. Funny how guys always always say curb rash is an easy fix.... But they never take care of it before selling the wheels. 
Going to guess he is wrong on the offset as well... Volk does not list the GT-P in an 18X8 5-114.3 with 46mm offset.

all their wheels that I've seen were outside the allowed BS offset range, but their multi-piece wheels do allow you a range to have them built to.
On these particular wheels I'd be concerned about clearance between the center spokes and the outboard face of the brake caliper. The general specs can't provide you that info. The spokes look rather flat and the front RX-8 caliper sticks out quite a bit. Most RX-8 wheels have outward curving centers to provide caliper clearance. They might work, but you can't be sure without a caliper outline pattern or fitment check
ps: saw a missing wheel bolt or two in the pics
if they don't leak with missing bolts then the shells are likely very thick i.e. heavy
