Sorry in advance for this question it may have been asked before but does anyone know are the RX 8 rims 18x8 and what is the PCD and are there any issues other than unsprung weight to look out for when fitting to MX5 MK3 ?

That 21 pound wheel is too heavy in my opinion for the MX5. But it does fit MX5 perfectly....18x8, 50mm offset 5x114.

Cheers Brian
I didn't know they were that heavy, yes too much weight there for me too.

Hi Brian are these any good for 2009 mx5 or do they have to be 55 offset?( Original RX7 wheels 5 x 114.3PCD, 16" x 8J 50 offset)

Again, RX8 wheels fit the MX5....but are too heavy for me to recommend them....unless you like a rough ride?

Ok Brian cheers, i just thought that there may have been some difference between the RX8 and RX7 being that they are 16x8 and not 18x8 as above.

The old RX7 16x8 wheels were very light...range of 13 to 16 pounds. They fit fine though the 13 pound versions tended to crack easily.
