Those are sweet, and I'm usually not a fan of that style rim. They will probably have a +50 or higher offset too. The only problem is OEM they are probably like $900ea...lol.

Don't think they will look good on the speed! But until I see them on I'm undecided.

I bet they are made by TSW!

Probably be cheaper to buy an RX8, swap MS6 rims on there and resell it.

Heh.

I can still hope they'll be $200/piece can't they?

Here's a very quick photoshop I did.



Can't say I'm really a fan of them. I think BBS makes something that resembles these but looks a hell of a lot better, IMO.

Cheapest would be to buy an aftermarket rim that you like... or very similar to those.
