RX-8 wheels
Hey Dane here, just wondering if stock RX-8 wheels would fit the SVX? I'm a n00b when it comes to tire and wheel dimensions and limitations. They're 5-lug like our cars, but I know there are different lug sizes, so it's not a guarantee.
Anyway, I just think they'd look dead sexy on my Laguna if I could find some for cheap somewhere and they fit. I'm poor, so I wish I could find a junked one and snag them for myself, (obviously I'd buy new rubber as well):

Re: RX-8 wheels
I was very close to buying some for my car, but the additional cost of 18" tires, combined with the fact that the roads here are so bad I would have bent wheels and busted tires in no time led me to go with some 17" BBS goldies.
You want tires that are either 245/35/18, or 255/35/18 size, although the 255's are a bit wide for the rims. Tire Rack lists Yokohama S. Drives in the 245 size for $156 each. (very nice, smooth tire. Good grip dry but not the greatest in the wet, very responsive)

Re: RX-8 wheels
I'm moving to Southern California soon, so the weather should be fairly manageable year-round Finding the money to buy new rubber is a different matter...but I've found many used, slightly-scraped, RX-8 rims for sale on ebay, when i have money, i'll go for those wheels

Re: RX-8 wheels
I think those are the rims on the best looking SVX I've ever seen:
