Need advice!!

[Rx8 Fan]

I'm going to be buying new rims, I don't know what bolt pattern to get for my 2004 mazda rx8. I know it's a 5bolt pattern but what are all the other details I post in my ad on Kijiji?

5 x 114.3. offset should be around a +40 on an 8 inch wide rim. start with 18's and work your way up if you want bigger. 19's look pretty good on the rx8. here is a site that has some really rare used rims. it is on the 18's in the same bolt pattern as the rx8, but just be sure to watch the offset. http://www.rbwheels.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=25_27_29

I'm looking for some advice. I want to replace the rear struts on my 2005 mazda rx8 and can't find a mechanic manual and or pictures on or about a replacement procedure. I would like to find some pictures or diagrams on the whole procedure before I start any work of course though. I picked up "monroe" struts and would like to know if anyone out there knows a better brand? Thanks for any time you can put into these answers.
