Why are you putting money into RX-8 wheels? Why not just find a nice wide/light wheel?

Looks amazing, out of curiosity, are those direct bolt up? Looks like you might have a spacer, but I can't be sure. Either way, looks great!

Nope man.... really sucks to fit them on :P

Gotta get 50 mm wheel lugs and cut them to 35 mm, get 10mm spacers in front, and 5 mm spacers in the back, cant go 10mm in the back unless you have spacers that got a centerbore on them * gotta get them specially made for you and its lots of $$$$$$*

Plus rx8/fd wheels' center bore is 67.7 and FC's center bore is 59.6 so you gotta get the right hubcentric rims.

...seems like a lot of work for some heavy wheels. I'm sure you could have picked up some nice used Works/Volks/Rays/Etc, but to each his own. Looks nice, just need more spacing in the rear.

I live in quebec, and here, with the ugly roads, light wheels get bent quickly
