My rule of thumb is the number of spokes should equal the number of lug nuts.

Those...

...actually work really well on that car.

I would paint them bronze, though.

Three spokes are just wrong.

Blasphemy!!

(But yeah, overall 3 spokes seem to be tough to do well)

Not the biggest fan, but I like where this is heading. RX8 design has too many angles and creases for these soft, rounded tri bars. 

These would be much better IMO:

I'm going to go polished lip and hot pink centers. You're one of the few I know that would be able to pull that look off Rob

I liked this idea so much that I wanted to see it so much that I went and done a quick 'n dirty 'chop.

(Sorry, too lazy to polish the rims.)

I still like the idea, but it was just enough hassle doing the easy 2D selecting and masking that I imagine it will be a royal pain in reality.

On the other hand, think of the joy it would bring to the world. Sort of a western spin on the now-classic Advan?

Probably cheaper and easier to 3D print some

Sorry, the only thing three spokes look good on are saabs.

They aren't my favorite normally but they actually look really good on the RX-8. I am pleasantly surprised.

This is great.  

3D printed covers with rotars embossed in them would really tie the room together.

Ftfy.

The only rotors in this rx8 are part of the brakes.

I think actual SA3R's look great on some JDM cars. I had a set on my GVR4 so I'm biased but for reference:

I like 'em, but I think no centercaps is the right way to go.

As a color, I love pink. For whatever reason I never like pink wheels.

Have you considered RX8 wheels? I put them on my Forté I liked them so much

These have always been one of my favorite wheels. I think they look even better now.
