AUTOEXE Sports Steering Wheel (Red Stitch) for Mazda RX8 (Series 2, 2009-2012) AUTOEXE Sports Steering Wheel (Red Stitch) for Mazda RX8 (Series 2, 2009-2012)

I recently installed AutoExe's Sport Steering Wheel on my ND. Taking my time and watching the various video's a few times, it took me a little over an hour, with no real issues, to install the new wheel. I couldn't be much happier with it. The wheel is extremely well made, at least as nice as OEM, with red stitching that matches my SRC paint nicely. It's a tiny bit smaller in diameter than stock, but much thicker, with a mild D shape for additional leg room. For those considering an improved steering wheel, this is a fabulous option in my opinion, particularly if you have red car.

GENUINE MAZDA OEM Intake Solenoid for Mazda RX8 (Series 1 & 2, 2003-2012) GENUINE MAZDA OEM Intake Solenoid for Mazda RX8 (Series 1 & 2, 2003-2012)

Happy 8's day people! For you series 2 owners, here's the easiest way I found to change these little suckers. RX8 Upgrades providing the genuine goods as always. Remove the air box/ CAI, remove throttle body and remove the top part of the UIM only, this will get you easy access to the solenoids. Now you could remove them from this point, but removing the oil filler neck along with the vacuum chamber the solenoids mount to makes it FAR easier to change them. This whole job can be done in an afternoon for a mechanically minded person. On reassemble, don't forget to place the vacuum reference back onto the bottom of the manifold (has a green check valve) otherwise no valve will work. Reassemble and enjoy.

AUTOEXE Premium Cat-Back Exhaust Muffler for Mazda RX8 (Series 1 & 2, 2003-2012) AUTOEXE Premium Cat-Back Exhaust Muffler for Mazda RX8 (Series 1 & 2, 2003-2012)

Just installed my spanking new Autoexe Stainless Muffler, and here's a short take of my initial impressions: The Autoexe catback is lovely - very unique 2 box design and the tips are the tapered kind (ie cut at an angle) each lasercut with the Autoexe logo. Very nicely polished midpipe which connects beautifully (and easily) with the exhaust outlet. Most importantly, the exhaust tips have a perfect visual alignment, unlike other exhausts i've seen where one tip protrudes out more than the other. The Autoexe definitely doesn't have this problem. Also, the 2 box design has a lower profile than stock. Previously, i used to scrape and even dent the exhaust box when clearing humps or even parking - not so with the Autoexe. The Autoexe performs really well, at least on my AT. There is a noticable increase in low end torque, and the car just feels substantially lighter. Revs are much more responsive, and the slight lag felt when launching the car seems to have melted away. Linear acceleration is also much faster (at least across 1st 3 gears), and i'm reaching 120-130kmh much faster on 2nd gear alone (NB mine is the 4spd AT). I'm very pleased with the low-torque gains on the Autoexe - finally i have that slight 'lurch' from start which the manuals seem to have, but the ATs don't. The Autoexe starts off idle with a really low, bassy growl. When first installed, it was barely audible, but sounds louder now. In time, the db will increase to an extent. On higher RPM revs, exhaust sounds deep and wet, and def not those shrilly Remus' we hear on the expressways from time to time. Installation was a breeze, and took under an hour at Monster Garage at Ubi, who's the only authorized dealer in Singapore, so these guys know their stuff. The torque/hp improvement was a shocker esp on low end, esp when mine's an AT. I've heard of bros installing Fujitsubos and HKSs that have either no or negative benefit. In this respect, I'm mighty pleased with the Autoexe. Sound is not loud, but a soft low bassy growl when idle, which develops into a mature wet sound at higher revs.

Wheel choice shapes an RX8 build more than almost any other single decision. The right Mazda RX8 alloy wheels influence stance, tyre clearance, brake fitment compatibility and visual character. Get that decision right and every other exterior element falls into place around it.

Choosing the right wheel for your RX8 build

The RX8 responds well to considered wheel selection. For example, correct fitment and appropriate sizing lets you run the tyre profile your build demands. That might mean a staggered setup for track use. Alternatively, a flush fitment sits perfectly in the guards. A classic spoke design, meanwhile, complements factory bodywork without overwhelming it.

For owners researching alloy wheels for the RX8 in Australia, the most important variables to confirm are bolt pattern, offset, centre bore and brake clearance.

A wheel that looks right in a photo but carries the wrong offset will sit poorly. Moreover, it may foul on cornering. Therefore, always confirm fitment against your specific build spec, including any coilover or big-brake kit already fitted.

Wheel size, finish and how they shape the build

The wheel size you choose affects more than appearance. For example, a larger diameter with a lower-profile tyre sharpens turn-in feel and visual presence. A more conservative size, however, leaves room for a meatier sidewall and better ride compliance. Neither is universally correct. Instead, the answer depends on how and where the car is driven.

Fitment checklist for Mazda RX8 alloy wheels

  • First, confirm offset and centre bore against your suspension setup, particularly if running aftermarket coilovers or spacers.
  • Also, allow clearance for brake caliper diameter and rotor size, especially if a big-brake kit is part of the build.
  • In addition, choose a spoke pattern and finish that works with your body colour and any styling components already fitted.
  • Finally, factor tyre availability into your size decision, because some widths and profiles are far easier to source in Australia than others.

Aftermarket alloy wheels for the RX8 in Australia

The options available here cover a wide spectrum. Designs range from motorsport-influenced multi-spoke styles to cleaner, understated finishes suited to a road build.

When comparing options, finish durability matters as much as initial appearance. A wheel that holds its look through tyre changes and track days is, therefore, a better long-term investment. However, one that looks sharp only in the first few weeks is not.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the standard wheel fitment for the Mazda RX8?

The RX8 uses a 5x114.3 PCD bolt pattern across both Series 1 and Series 2 models. Factory wheel sizes varied by specification, so always confirm the offset, centre bore and overall diameter against your specific car's documentation and tyre plan before purchasing aftermarket wheels.

What wheel sizes work well on the RX8?

The right wheel size depends on your intended use, tyre selection and whether you have modified the suspension or brakes. Larger diameters can improve visual presence and support low-profile tyre fitment, but clearance around brake calipers and suspension components must be checked carefully for each size you are considering.

Do I need to check offset when fitting aftermarket alloy wheels to my RX8?

Yes. Offset directly affects how the wheel sits within the arch and whether it clears brakes, suspension components and guards. An incorrect offset can cause rubbing or affect handling geometry, so confirm the offset specification suits your RX8's exact setup before ordering.

Can I use the same wheels for road driving and track days?

Many RX8 owners run one set of wheels across both uses, but a dedicated track wheel and tyre combination is worth considering if you attend circuit days regularly. A lighter wheel reduces unsprung weight and allows fitment of track-compound tyres without compromising your road setup.

What tyre sizes are compatible with RX8 aftermarket wheels?

Compatible tyre sizes depend on the wheel diameter and width you choose. It is important to plan the wheel and tyre combination together rather than selecting them separately, as the overall rolling diameter also affects speedometer accuracy and clearance within the guards.

Will aftermarket alloy wheels affect the look of my RX8's brakes?

Spoke design and spoke count significantly influence how much of the brake assembly is visible through the wheel. Owners running upgraded brake calipers or coloured caliper finishes often choose an open-spoke design specifically to make that hardware a visible part of the finished look.

Are there wheel finish options available for the RX8?

Available finishes vary by wheel model and brand within the range. Common options include machined, gloss black, gunmetal and silver. Choose a finish that complements your RX8's body colour and any other exterior elements, such as splitters, lips or mirror caps, for a cohesive result.

Do I need hub-centric rings when fitting aftermarket wheels to the RX8?

If the aftermarket wheel's centre bore is larger than the RX8's hub diameter, hub-centric rings are recommended to ensure the wheel seats correctly on the hub rather than relying solely on the wheel nuts to centre it. Check the centre bore specification of each wheel against your car's hub measurement.
