Where are you ordering from?

Yeah, overall offset was only a 6mm difference, but the way Rays mix their barrel and disc combo is what gives it more lip. So guys, understand the fitment chart (rim depth) before you order! Don't make my mistake!

i get 10% over cost on all mazdaspeed and mazda parts from the dealership. i work at BMW and we have an account with the local Mazda dealership. but everywhere i call, they're telling me it's on national back order...even Mazda USA.

for example, i get the MS front for $1147 and the rear MS under spoiler for $656. CHEAP for the real thing.

Gotcha. That's a nice hookup. And you probably won't have to pay shipping, either. Dang! LUCKY!

No issues up front but, rubs in the rear like crazy! Until I rolled the fenders. Then it's not so bad. I know the cause though, and it's not the fender lip. For me it's the tab where the fender is bolted onto the bumper. No TPMS.

Ok, guys I just put in this set of GT-V's I got for a good price. The wheels are 19x8.5 in the front in Toyo's 245/35 and 19x9.5 in the rear on 275/30. It's a work in progress, so let me know what you think...

Does it count if I have Rays wheels on my Mazdaspeed3 but not my 8? My Speed3 has the 18x7.5 +45mm 16.7lb Rays Mazdaspeed rims.

I think so, because the title did not specify/limit it down to only Rx8s, but just anybody who has Rays wheels.

Same here. I've been wanting to buy these for a while now but I do not want to take away from my FI funds for another set of wheels.

Hey guys, after almost 6 long months my finally awaited wheels have come in.

I ordered Volk GTS in 19x8.5 +36 and a 19x9.5 +37 in gloss black

I cant wait to mount these rims, gettin tires tomorrow but I won't get these on my 8 until Monday!

I will post pics mounted as soon as I can

Thanks to lazi and the guys at J-onDemand for giving me the best possible price around and excellent customer service!

really nice! I love those!

Question: what do people think will look nice with a Titanium Grey? I mean what should the colour of the rim be? Opinions? Suggestions?
