18 x 8, 5 x114.3, 67.1 hub bore, 50mm offset
To get to TL specs, 5mm spacer and a 67.1 to 64.1 hub bore adapter.

Why? They look worse then stock (less detail on wheel) and you only get an inch larger in size and none in width. Get some G35 wheels if your looking for the stock but larger look, at least they look nice and you get a wider wheel

The RX-8 wheels I have on my Mazda3 Hatch are pretty light for an OEM wheel at least. They're about ~20lbs each. I've yet to try it onto my TL but they're not bad wheels - just the offsets are very conservative when installed onto an Acura/Honda. They're also pretty expensive used because everyone that owns a Mazda3 wants them because they're the widest wheel that you can fit onto the car without rubbing and that 50mm offset actually sits flush on a Mazda3. They replaced my 17x6.5" 52mm stock wheels.

The reason I'm trying to get them is because I would get a pretty good deal on them and I think they look good.. I just don't want to get them and end up not liking them..

Agreed. If you had to ask us then you wont like them. If your getting a good deal pick them up and sell them to someone that will pay more then you did!

Buy them and resell to a Mazda owner. Use the money to buy some other kind of rim.
