they actually have a line where the center parts are powder coated black, those would look awesome. I'm still waiting to see an 8 with wheels from this company: www.ccwheel.com
a lot of spec 7 guys run these and the fit and finish is beyond incredible

indeed its the 2 piece black chrome Hyper 5zr(not the 5zr copse which are a 200 dollar wheel) i was considering the 3 piece but they only come in 20 and are really for VIP style tuning(celsiors, chasers, soarers, etc) and they cost over a grand a piece street price
im still not too sure on offset, im doing a staggered fitment 19" with 8.5 front 9.5 rear. im thinking 40 offset front and 35 or 33 rear because i want a bit of a dish look.

well, the wheels can be had for around 750 to 850 for the 2 piece hyper 5zr's and generally there is a 80 dollar premium if you want SMB(super metallic black aka black chrome) and you can pay between 3500 and a little over 4000 dependant on tires.
i think the hyper 5zr is the best choice because if you look its basically a style simular to the stock except waaaay better, and the stock rims look great!
its actually a silver car thats going to have lots of JDM body kit pieces so it will be the most unique RX8 in the US for sure. theres a cf hood trunklid and wing and dark tinted windows to match the rims along with lots of other stuff i dont want to list.

sounds awesome! can't wait to see it.. carbon fiber and black rims would look sweet, I was actually wondering what the same would look like on a white 8..

it would look excellent, white cars black cars and silver cars are the best cars to do a carbon fiber exterior theme to.
my second choice to silver was white but im into the mazdaspeed rx8 type s look(which is silver) so i got silver
