Anyone willing to help a girl out? I could send you a few pics of wheels im considering and a good pic of my car..
yes WB=winning blue. try going to www.tirerack.com to look at how wheels will look to get an idea. still try and photoshop some wheels that you like first. i'd definitely recommend either a dark grey or bronze/gold wheel on a WB.

I spent a long time looking at wheels on this site. Especially the "calling all ___" (insert your colour) and saving the images to my computer. Every time I saw something I liked I would try and figure out what wheels they were and save the image with the name of the rim. Then go to tirerack or other, search out that wheel, save additional images, and note any important info. like size and weight. I found lots of wheels I like but many were heavy. In the end, I decided based on price/weight/reviews/appearance that I'd get the Axis Reverbs.

As for your "WB", Nuke's comments above are good, imo. Grey/bronze/gold would look good. I'm not personally a big fan of gold, unless you have some more gold like gold accents/badges it might not blend that well. But it's obviously a personal taste thing. I still think black can look good, maybe with silver lip. But it could turn out looking like you have winter rims on.

Good luck and may the best rim win!

I am thinking of get a set of Axis Shine with:
19 x 8.5 +35 F w 245/40 19
19 x 9.5 +40R w 275/35 19
Tires would be Falken 452 or Toyo Proxes T1.
Anybody using this fitment?
I posted it to the will it fit thread and "Nopistonz" replied that it should fit I need a little bit more rubber between the rim and the road here in Michigan cause the roads are bad.
Any experience out there with this fitment
I am not lowerd at all I am on stock height with 2005 Ti Grey GT sport with OEM front lower air dam and side aero flares and rear wheel splash gaurds. I won't lower here bease of vaious road condition here and in Northern Michigan.

Any imput would be apreciated and on tires as well?
Best place ti buy Hiro Shines as well? if you have any suggestions?

I bought my new Axis wheels because I was looking for an affordable, good looking, lightweight wheel. I succeeded by bying the Axis Circuits in matte black. They are forged monoblocks by RAYS. They are 18x8.5 and they only weigh 16.7 pounds each. They are AMAZING wheels, especially on the track.

The pictures suck I know...

They say I'm a natural when it comes to photoshop.

To start off, we added some high performance tires to the picture, and you might want to look into rolling your fenders. Oh and apparently you're performing a burnout...

You're running some crazy offsets & sizes considering stock, we run a 50mm offset. Those will be some HUGE wheels...I'd make drop it to 19's unless you seriously wanna do the DUBs.

If you search the threads, there are some people who have done 20's and 21's on their RX8 with some success. Find them and see what they say about it.

Yeah.. I am also worried about the offsets.. I guess the best is F 19x8.5 +35mm 235/35/19 and R 19x9.5 +40mm 265/30/19... probably with a drop of 1"... then i guess i don't need to roll any fenders right?

Your rear spec if exactly what I stuffed under my wheel well for a while but it kept rubbing...quite easily. It looks nice with the big *** lip, but it was too big. Plus I wanted a track car, not a show car
