The red inserts can be removed, or painted for another car. Also they come with a set of Chrome inserts and a set of carbon fiber inserts.

Howard, I like them. Looks good on the VR.
At the very least, according to the comments above, not everyone on the block will have them.......![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
For reference, please post wheel size, offset & tire size. Thanx.

I actually like it, and was considering a similar set (from Enkei, I think) with the insert option for my own car. In the end, I'm going to go with a more subtle red on the wheel, like the red pinstripe around the edge, but... well... I definetely like your wheels, for what it's worth

I actually didn't expect so many negative responses. I use to get a lot of comments on my RX8, live that is, in the past, but recently it seems to go unoticed.
Once I put the rims on the responses have beeen very positive and quite a few people including a couple of RX8 owners said they liked them.
Several people mentioned the rivets. I though rivets were like metal fasteners that were permanently attached. These are actually screws with allen heads.
I considered putting the black inserts in as the red might be too much.
As for being a downgrade from the stock wheels. More then one person said the stock wheels look like mattel toy wheels.
Actually I changed them because after 4 years of driving in a area with horrible roads and curb rash they were looking pretty bad.
I did notice these wheels look a lot like several other wheels that Tire Rack had from other manufacturers except for the removable inserts.
Somebody asked for additional information so here is the link.
