So here's the deal....After about four years of owning the 8...I havn't done the simplest thing to make it my own...Aftermarket wheels.
Here are I few that I like and I'm not sure which to go with when the time comes.

(Rims are a little larger to depict 19's)

I haven't decided what I'm going with yet. I've been looking at the Work Emotion CR, JIC 05s, Advan AVS Model 5s. At this point, I'm leaning toward the Advans.

I would go with stock over the ones you have up but thats just me. The only ones i have seen on a 8 that were really great looking were that guys when we had the meet up at red rocks with the black RX-8 i cant think of his name to save my life right now but his rims looked really good if i had the money i would get the ones he had

I voted Stock.. I love those wheels as well. Or the Enkei wheels.. the photo shop really doesn't help to much, those wheels look to big for the car.

I voted for the enkei cdr's (i think thats what they are called, the second wheels). The multi spoke design works really well with your 8. If not i say stockers maybe powder coated a color you like.

Stock wheels are for winter driving.
I voted for the Kazera KZ-S.

Stock...but if I wanted to put something other than stock I would pick the Enkei LM1 which I think looks similar to the stock.

I voted for kz-r but IMO if you can afford it look into advan, Work or Volk or J-line AME etc. If you want the look and don't care about name brands check out Rota. They make work emotion knock offs which is what I have. I am going to buy some new wheels sometime soon but this time I am saving the money for my advan RGII's in gold.
Oh and its not always just brand names but the names listed above are truely beautifully crafted wheels and hold there value as well as there durability. You get what you pay for and I wish I would have waited cause I could be almost half way saved up for the rims I want. Oh and I say stick with 18s beefy tires and lowered look killer IMO.

I like the Enkei CDR, but have you considerd polishing the stock rims? That would look pretty sweet.

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.
