yeh that's a cool idea, but the rx8 in X-men, remember those rims with X on them, are they even commercially available? Do all rx8's come with them?? I don't even know, even though there are a fair few rx8's driving around melbourne, i've never really payed attention, funny how one model of cars seems to look the best, even though it's older (*cough fc cough*)

I've always wondered how they would look too. I'm sure they would look great. And yes I beleive that you do need spacers and you would probably need to roll your fenders. But don't quote me on that cause I'm not sure. I wonder how much they would be with my discount at my dealership...

60mm offset (ET) rims do not go well on 40 mm offset (ET) cars...

add in the extra inch (16x8 or 18x8)... and you have to use a 40mm spacer just to get the rim on a FC.
