Rims & Tires
Hey guys.
I'm in Michigan where are roads are worse than offroading. Anyway I hit a pot hole and bent my rear rim. So now I need to replace the rim and the dealership is telling me $560.00. In addition to this summer is coming soon and I bought the car with snow tires on it and I need to get new tires before the weather gets to warm. So I am looking to get new tires and either replace the rim with a factory one or get a whole set of new rims.
I am looking for recommendations on what wheel size people recommend. What other vehicles have the same bolt pattern that will fit my RX-8. If anyone knows anywhere good online to look for tires and rims or if possibly someone has some they are looking to get rid of. Thanks.

The bolt pattern is 5x114.3 and the offset which will fit the best needs to be within +40 and +50. The stock wheels have a +50 offset. Check the Wheel and Tire Thread for more info.
