Does anyone have pics of FCs with RX-8 wheels?
I was thinking of going with a triple chromed set as my show wheels but I want to get an idea of how they look before I jump this gun.

Yes. Thanks for the compliments. I got more pics but I'm bad in trying to load them. I'm on Teaminvader.net under gallery. The thing is I am going to be featured in Rixtuner magazine in March so they are coming over soon to take pics. I was wonering if I should stay with these for the shots(polishing the lip) or get the RX-8s triple chromed.

The RX-8 wheels are 18*8 +50mm so they will not fit an FC safely at all. I think they are just cast wheels (not pressure cast like S5 FC and FD wheels) so they are not particularly light.
Also, the RX-8 is known by the code name SE3P, not the FE3S although the VIN does indeed have FE in it. Strange, but true.

Send me your BMX parts
I went on a tire/wheel site and there are wheels w/ offsets available anywhere from +45 to +38 mm offsets. But if those RX8 wheels are really +50mm there ain't know way they'll fit..

In Japan and everywhere else it is called the FE3S in everything I have ever read or heard.
Maybe SE3P is a lame US owner new rotary thing as all the RX-8 owners I have met tend to think they are above Rx-7 owners, and they want to distance themselves from the gene pool of the RX-7.
