the stock offset for the RX8 is 50mm.

The difference between the Mazdaspeed RX8 rims is 17lbs for Aluminum and 16lbs for magnesium, stock is 22lbs.

the Aluminum wheels is about $450 per rim while the Magnesium rim is $1300 each.

for $1300 each, i'd rather buy a set of HRE's and they'd weight the same as the Magnesium rims.


Unless you want a set just to collect them

The R3 wheels are also 19" diameter and IMO, rims that size do not look good on FD's plus they are no wider than stock.

As stated, 19" don't look good on FD's, don't look good on the FC either.
