There is a thread about this already. Auto Bahn Strasse or something like that is the name of the thread. See if they said it there / ask Japan8.

Those look very close to R1 Racing's F3 Forged RS-5

http://www.emwheels.com/wheels.asp?id=2

or try OZ racing's Canyon II PL

http://www.ozracing.com/eng/car/inde...am=2&wheel=24#

Which is very similar if you don't want to spend the money for R1's forged rims.

My bad; I didn't realize until I did a price check, that the Canyon II PL is as much as the R1 Forged rims. Sorry...

Here is a better look at them. They are called "MAIDO RT5" wheels, here is a link to there site

http://www.maidowheels.com/wheels.asp

Very similar, but not exactly the same.

Those eyebrows are from a company in Japan by the name of AU-TO BAHN SPORTS, you can find more info about them on these threads:

https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...threadid=32654

or

https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...threadid=30415

But a quick an easy way to make them is by using vinyl.

I was thinking the same thing, kinda like a 360. I never thought a sharp edge up front would look good, but I just checked out EastMoon's links; damn, I really like this kit. The quad pipes and scoop on the side skirt make it look even more Ferrari-esque.
AU-TO Bahn Sports Type S
Notice that shot where you can see a seam where the eyelids meet the fender, so it isn't one-piece as the large picture seems to imply.

Wrong wrong and wrong. Nice try... There's something that can be said for calling the guys who have them on their car. :D Check the bodykit thread again.

Ever consider that River-Side may make their rims for other companies like so many do? Did you check the link I posted? The Maya rims are identical to the TrafficStar RTS rims; probably made by River-Side and rebranded.

True, True but it looks like the Maya wheels spokes are not as wide as the ones on the AU-TO BAHN Sports ride. Japan8 called them and found out they are called "Traffic Star" made by Riverside.
