They look great

TPMS enabled? Do you think those would look good on a Titanium Gray?

nemesis to be honest i dont think this would look good on a titanium gray rx8. stay away from rims that are the exact same color of your car it does not look good. the only time this look good is either white car w/white rims or black car w/black rims.

i originally had bought 30mm spacers but due to the wheel having a 38mm ofset it turns out i did not have to use them. i just sent the spacers back today. not only did isave on the rims but i also saved my self an extra $150 that i had payed for the back spacers.

Frank which model are those , the P-1 Racing II?

What size rim did you get? 18x8?
Any rubbing issues?

Oh yeah, more pics!!

I like the SBC color myself. Nemesis, I think the SBC would look hot on a Ti.

yes the rims are 21lbs they are prety light considering theyre not forged wheels. most of the of the regular aftermarket wheels wheigh from 25-30 depending on the width of the wheel and forged wheigh from 17 to 23 also depending on the whidth of the wheel.

and are they gloss black or carbon/anthracite?

That weight sounds perfect, price sounds really good too, about 200 less than the sterns I was looking for, and roughly 8-9 lbs less too!!

too bad, but even so, they look real good on black.., might have to change plans slightly.

are your calipers painted black also? kind of looked that way, but it might have been the shadow.
