I was thinking of going with a triple chromed set as my show wheels but I want to get an idea of how they look before I jump this gun.

 

Those M-sports look just fine, but I'm sure the rx8 wheels would look good too.

 

is that your car? very nice!

 

Yes. Thanks for the compliments. I got more pics but I'm bad in trying to load them. I'm on Teaminvader.net under gallery. The thing is I am going to be featured in Rixtuner magazine in March so they are coming over soon to take pics. I was wonering if I should stay with these for the shots(polishing the lip) or get the RX-8s triple chromed.

 

id stay stick with those

 

Stay............. well change and then sell these rims to me cheap for my Black TII

 

very nice vert.looks clean.stay with the rims you have.

 

Ya, rx8 rims arent nearly as nice as your current shoes. You would be a fool to change to them, unless of course you would be selling the Msports

 

Hmm, I thought that FE wheels were 60ET offset. Forcing you to use a 2 1/2 - 3 inch spacer if attempting to fit them on a FC.

 

thats one big *** spacer

 

i got a extra set of rx8 wheels i'll see what it takes to make them fit

 

What are the offsets on those 8 wheels? I bet they'll be tight.. If there +42 and higher you'll need spacers up front

 

The RX-8 wheels are 18*8 +50mm so they will not fit an FC safely at all. I think they are just cast wheels (not pressure cast like S5 FC and FD wheels) so they are not particularly light.

Also, the RX-8 is known by the code name SE3P, not the FE3S although the VIN does indeed have FE in it. Strange, but true.

 

I went on a tire/wheel site and there are wheels w/ offsets available anywhere from +45 to +38 mm offsets. But if those RX8 wheels are really +50mm there ain't know way they'll fit..

 

SE3P is the original design designation (much like the 2nd gen RX-7 was is the P747 and the 3rd gen was the P787...

In Japan and everywhere else it is called the FE3S in everything I have ever read or heard.

Maybe SE3P is a lame US owner new rotary thing as all the RX-8 owners I have met tend to think they are above Rx-7 owners, and they want to distance themselves from the gene pool of the RX-7.
