I voted for the LM-1's. They look close to the stockers which I love... I just picked up a set of those (stock) for the 5 this coming summer.[/b]


I concur, the LM-1's are nice and have a purty lip to boot.

The LM1's are too close to stock for me. I looked at them when I had my 6 and thought about RX-8 wheels. I just wouldn't notice enough of a difference (the LM1s are also heavier than stock) for me to swap them on the RX-8.

didn't know about the weight difference, but imho, the stock or similar are the best looking on the RX-8.

I think I made a mistake by putting stock rims as an option because everyone, including myself, loves the stock rims. I should have forseen them winning the race. But Every 8 has the same rim and I will still have them for winter.

So far I'm liking both Kazera because they are different but I leaning to a rim that is like the Konig right now. Mainly because it only has one vote and because I think that it looks like the stock but with one added spoke. It looks simple and not so "look at me and not the car." If that makes sense. They fit well to me.

Keep the Input coming. And thanks to everyone.

Jdmsp (forgot your name) thanks for the info. I think I may go with different brands than I listed. The ones I listed were just styles I like and not a sure thing yet. I still need to gather more info on which comp. makes the best quality. I only want what's best for my baby.

I like the RS6's, but a pain to keep clean...

I picked LM1... Look like stock, but not.

I think the fact the stock rims are one of the front runners is just a testament as to what a good fit they are
for the rx-8. I understand wanting to mix it up a bit, but on the other hand, why mess with a good thing?

The rim choices you have listed are each very nice in their own right, but I think the 5 spoke looks the
best on your 8.... just my humble opinion tho.

As variety is the spice of life, thought i would throw out a few ideas . This is my attempt at moving away from the 'Stock' look. Great choice of rims though Jimmy.

LOL. I have that same yellow one. It's a shell for a Nitro R/C Car. I even painted it the same as my 8. I know I'm a dork. I dont have it anymore. My dobe used the shell as a chew toy over the summer.

The ones on the R/C car look good to. I'll shop one with a black rim and polished lip to see how it looks. On the yellow it doesn't look half bad but on my blue I'll have to see.

I also like the last blue 8. So many rims to choose from yet only one set can go on.

I'm thinking I shouldd buy on style for the drivers side and another for the passenger side. You only see one side at a time and that way if I can't choose between 2 styles I can have them both. :D

I'm late to this party but I voted for the Enkei LM1's. And about the pictures Lee posted up, as you would guess I like the Blue RX8 with Black Rims!

Not a big fan of that. I still have to shop one with a chrome lip. I'll do that and post it. The 8 under that has some nice wheels.
