Just returned from the tyre shop. there was a rx8 on the ramp. it has a 5 stud hub and very nice big discs and calipers. My ultima wheel has the same stud pattern and fitted.

Could be very usefull if only for the rear discs.

Ed:
Did the RX8 have large vented rear discs that would fit under a 17" wheel with an integral handbrake?
Could be useful for a Sport Owner.

bmw and jag use a much larger PCD as do porsche which would be a much more usefull alternative (as loads of wide aftermarket wheels available).

Ultima use ford Granada stud patern.
