Need help finding new rims

Hey guys, I am shopping for some new wheels for my '05 RX8. What is the size of my wheels? Is it 5x100? or 5x114.3? Stock wheels are 18"? I am looking at these Rotas http://www.rotawheels.com/products.php?id=66 Thanks guys, now you have 5 minutes to respond or this message will self destruct.

Thanks Mike, one more question please. What is the best offset? I just want to get these new rims but I want to just put my stock tires on these new rims since I just recently bought the car and the tires have 95% thread remaining. Which offset would fit the stock tires best? thanks again for helping me out brother.

18 x 8.0 +35/+48 4h/5h x 100/114.3

18 x 8.0 +35/+48 5h x 112/120

18 x 7.5 +45/+48 5h x 100/114.3

18 x 8.0 +45/+48 5h x 100/114.3

18 x 8.0 +48 5h x 114.3 in your list is the closest to OEM spec.

Your OEM Rim is 18X8 +50

Yup, he can go +35 probably... but stock setups are usually the best for the overall life of your suspension system.

Then again, if this rim has some thick *** spokes, it wont fit on a +48 offset.

Thanks for the response guys, this is the wheel I am looking at: Are the spokes too big to fit a +48 wheel?
