    Default RX-8 Rims - Set of 4, $350 in QLD

    Hey all,

    Found these today, I like them but the other half doesn't so they're a no-go for me. Thought someone might appreciate them at a good price though!

    Mazda RX8 18"x8" 5x114.3 Wheels, Good condition | Wheels, Tyres & Rims | Gumtree Australia Gold Coast North - Oxenford

    $350 isn't bad...

    Cheers
    J.

    Good price. I paid $400 for mine and they had a lot more gutter rash than those

    I'd probably bite the bullet for these if they were in NSW.

    Will keep that in mind when the finances allow or the need for new tyres arises to justify the cash spent on wheels!

    Already been to check these out for a mate... let's just say there's a reason they are only $350.
    Pretty rough and the description isn't 100% accurate.

    I walked away and drove back to Brisbane.

    just bought them for $300, will have to buy some low profiles, am looking for some cheap ones. Anyone have suggestions as to which low profiles are good/cheap?

    Thanks for the post OP - finally got some rims

    what was wrong with them MUZZA, he said someone else had a look at them and he told me that there was some paint chipping at the center cap or something? but im going to paint them anyway so didnt really think it would matter?

    They weren't up to my standard for the money he was asking.
    If you are going to repaint them, no stress. Yeah the gutter rash, the paint issue around the centre cap and the centre caps themselves... have a close look at them.

    Not a big issue if you are buying them as a blank canvas, but too much of a gamble for me.

    No problem, knew someone here would snap them up.

    From my reading, 235/40 I think was a common tyre size so comparably cheap to put on those wheels. Search the forum, there's plenty of info I found today.

    235/40 will work fine. Don't cheap out on tyres for them, I had a cheap set on some RX8 rims...

    Good pickup for the money, they're the rims the Gen 1 3MPS and 6MPS should have got as OEM.

    yeah shopped around today and found that a set of kumho's at 225/45/18 would be around 169 each. They said this was the legal limit, but im sure i can go 225/40/18? right, just want to make it legal and as low profile as i can
