True, the Spirit-R wheels are made by BBS and shape-wise are RGR-Rs...BUT, they have been custom made for Mazda in a special offset and spoke shape for additional caliper clearance, and you cant buy them directly from BBS. Also, they have a special finish which is actually different than the black diamond sold through BBS. They have a lighter gunmetal finish with the sides of the spokes actually 'smoked' with a darker paint to so that they go from a dark look from some angles to shiny gunmetal at others.

Anyone have a set for sale or know of source ?

These wheels are very hard to get but if you buy them new you can pay more for 4 8.5s.

fronts: 17x8, rears: 17x8.5
offset is +50 for both, bolt pattern is 5/114.3, centerbore is 67.1mm
I don't know the exact weight, but they are very likely 16-17 lbs each.

too bad the offset is so high, those are cool and would otherwise fit on my car really well (240sx).
in case anyone wants a set, www.RBmotoring.com has a set for $500, though they are listed as 16".
