Help Me Choose My New Rims
Hey guys I am in the process of buying new wheels for my 8. It is a titanium gray and I was wondering which of these I am listing you like the best for my car. All opinions welcome. They are 19"x9 Advan Model 5 in Silver, 19"x9 Advan Model 5 in Gunmetal, 19"x8.5 Advan Connoisseur in silver, 19"x8.5 Roja R2-5 in silver, Volk GT-C in Gunmetal, Volk GT-AV in silver,or 19"x8.5 Piaa Super Rozza in Hyperblack. I am also thinking of getting Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R Tires in 245's. Here are some pics of the rims:

I like the Advan Connoisseur
I was at a Toyota dealership and noticed that the TRD wheels for the Scion xD look really similar to those
well, maybe just a little
lol

the Advan Con's are discontinued and Volk GT-C are going away soon i heard..
these were believed to be Advan Con's..
Original Mazdaspeed RX8 Concept wheels
I also read somewhere that Advan wheels are made by Enkie them selves.

Go with the Model 5's. I have them and I love them. The car looks amazing in person. I get compliments all the time.
Mine are 19x8 38 offset all around. My only wish is that I would have gone wider especially in the back. I didn't want to go with the staggered setup, but now I wish I would have.
Can you still get the Model 5's? I thought they were discontinued about a year ago. I could be wrong. I was told that by the guys at Vivid Racing and you know about them........
BTW, that first pic is DINHX8's car I belive. Those would be the Model T5's. Little different profile and wider spacing between the spokes.

I too think the stock 18" are well matched to the '8 and money better spent elsewhere. But if I must pick between all the very nice 19" you've listed:

Wow, I have been looking for new rims for my Galaxy Grey too. Haven't found any that looks better than the stock ones. But those roja's look awesome on the grays, If you do decide to get them let me know where you get em from. I'm in the bay area too
