Volk GT-C + Velocity Red
I finally decided on Volk rims. Here are a few pics.
The tires are amazing.

Very Nice.I am ordering those wheels this week for my car. I have been working out the details since last week. Have you had any driving issues for that size and offset? Also, I would appreciate it if you could pm the price you paid for the wheels. Have you thought of putting 245's on those? I am ordering the gunmetal color.

I have not had any issues with the size. The ride is awesome.
I kept the tire size at 235 because I am going to lower the car with the MS suspension. A bigger tire may be ok, but I was conservative just in case.

Very nice indeed. So you are going to get MS suspension, so I guess we can assume these pics are stock suspension? Where did you order your wheels from and how long did they take for delivery? Thanks for the pics feel free to post a few more!

Yes, these pics are with stock suspension.
PM me for places to buy. There are several. I do not have that info at work.
I can give you a few contacts.
It took about 2 weeks to get them. I jumped on the first place that said they had them available because I was in a rush. I suspect you can get them faster if you check around.
Kochan, these wheels are very light... fyi.
Lighter than stock with tires for sure.

Make damn sure you get your tires mounted at a place that has the correct equipment.
Make sure they have the run-flat type mounting machine...
Trust me

That looks really really nice. I like the GTC but didn't think it would compliment the RX8 as well as it does in this pic. Very nice.
As an FYI, we are offerring a promotion on Volk Racing wheels ordered by Friday of this coming week. It is part of our SEMA show special.
Please contact me for pricing and I'm sure I can help. It should be at least a 5% savings over our already incredible club pricing.

Sorry, TPMS not supported with these rims.
I was worried about the flashing indicator bothering me. It doesn't at all.
In fact, I hardly notice it.
Don't let TPMS keep you from getting rims you want. IMHO
I have the clear corners.. they are sitting next to the strakes.. which are next to the MS door sills...
I have the MS suspension.. sitting in the same pile collecting the same dust.. haha
