Rays TE37 Wheels on a RX-8?
So I was looking for some Rays TE37 wheels, unfortunately, they are not compatible with the factory spec tires. Here's the link to them:
VOLK1524 Volk Wheels - Te37 at Andy's Auto Sport
I was told by them that I needed the following mods in order for them to be compatible:
Offset +48
Bolt Pattern: 5x114.3
What do these mods mean, how do modify the wheels in order to have the above?

What is compatible depends on many things suchs as ride height, future plans, tire you plan to run, etc. I suggest reading up and figuring out what you are going for before you make such a large purchase. TE37's look awesome on the RX-8. Maybe post up a pic of an RX-8 with TE's that you like and I can give you an idea on the specs and what is needed to achieve that look.

I used Gran Turismo 6 as my virtual tuning platform for my 8. I lowered the car a little bit, stiffened up the suspension, and of course put some TE37's on it. This could possibly be my future build for it, I want it to look something like this...

Maybe from that angle it doesn't look as cool, but I personally tailored the wing for this car. The measurements were specific to this car. I got my inspiration from the RE Amemiya GT wing.

You know what, I agree. I don't know what I was thinking, as for the TE37 wheels I changed my mind. I like the look of the Mazdaspeed MS-01S wheels (Also forged by Rays, approximate look pictured above) better. I can also avoid unnecessary mods to the suspension since the MS-01's have similar measurements to the OEMs.
Sometime in the future I'll do it, I heard they're hard to find.

Well, I've seen prices online ranging from $2500-$5000 depending on their condition. And yes, they are forged out of magnesium making them much lighter than the OEM wheels (16 lbs. for the MS-01S's compared to 21 lbs. for the OEM's).
