Default RX-8 WHEELS ON MAZDA 3

I know this has been up before, but I cant find it

Want to see pics of m3 whit RX8 wheels on it. and is it a easy bolt on? any problem with rubbing?
seem the bolt pattern is the same 114, but what is the offset. I think stock 3 is 50mm.

thanks

east

Easy bolt-on, no rubbing issues I've ever read about, good comparable offset, BUT the 8 wheels are much heavier than than the OE's. Always a bad move, imo.

yep^ i recently got light weight wheels. 15lbs each and i can notice a difference. When i turn the car or go over bumps its a bit harder to control since its so much easier to whip it around. You'll prob notice those heavy wheels. Go to cardomain and you'll see a lot of people with the RX wheels.
