Looks quite good. Goes against the Evo theme of light weight though.

Not bad, not bad at all. Quite flattering for FPV in a way.

How much heavier are the F6 wheels? Seems to be he's just hampered his performance somewhat.

Does anyone know if F6 18s will fit a Mazda RX8?

I recently got some GT 19s for my F6 and wouldn't mind sticking the F6 rims on the RX8 if they will fit.

On that note if anyone has GT 19s and is selling or trading in their car I want to swap a good condition GT 19 with very average tyre for their original spare with new rubber if possible, plus cash of course...

The only thing that I really like about that thing is the no.plate. Turbo 4-bangers don't do it for me!!!

No, but as the Evo 7 was not imported by Mitsi, it is allowed on the SEVS list
