QUESTION: How much was the cost for the RX8 rims?
I've checked ebay but most wheels available are "80% good" or "almost in perfect condition" which usually means you discover kind of late they're scratched, discolered, etc.
I asked at a local Miami dealership and they'd lower them to around $350 each brand new, but for that kind of money maybe I'd be shooting for Rays or something better...
I'm looking for some $140 - 190 per wheel in great condition, maybe $200 if including lock nuts. Is it possible? (what everyone thinks???)
I like the gold look, I think it suits the black very well. I wouldn't paint anything else the same color, it isn't a law that wheels need to match something else in the car... IMHO.
The 323F badge and the tailights are icing in the cake!

yeah...i was not pplanning on painting the badges anyways...someone else mentioned it in the thread......as for the price of the rx-8 rims...i basically got them for free.....i traded/swapped my custom made sub enclosure and subs for the rims......it was basically an even swap....since i paid nearly $500 for the enclosure and the subs.....trust me this set-up was insane and it was specifically made to fit the hatch area of the P5...it would not of fit in any other type of car.
as for the condition of the rims....they were in good condition....but had minor blemishes and some curb rash....but since i was painting the rims...i sanded all of that out....and used a primer selant as well as primer to cover all the imperfections up.....so the rims look like they are brand new....
only bad thing is now i have noticed...since i detailed my car yesterday...some scratches on the rims from where they were mounted to the tires...and then put on the car....but its nothing a little paint brush and some paint cant fix.
and if you can get them on ebay for a decent price...even with blemishes or anything like that...i would go for it...cuzz you can always sand it out and paint the rim.....even if you dont want to paint it a color...ie..black ro bronze....they do make rim paint that is silver...basically the same color as the rim already is....but thats just my suggestion.

If you pay $140 per rim, your paying to much, just go to www.rx8club.com and pick them up from there. Thats where I got mine from and got them for a real good price. They are always selling their rims on that site and for a good price, and if you don't see a price you like, just wait, there will be somebody that post a good price, trust me. Almost everyday there is someone else posting these wheels for sale. Most are in good condition also.
