LOOKS GREAT.

SO GLAD YOU WENT WITH CIRCLAR RS....

FYI I WAS THE GUY TO HELP BRING AME IN ON A LARGE SCALE UP UNTIL I GOT MARRIED A YEAR BACK.

IF YOU GUYS WANT AME JUST HIT ME UP, I KNOW MORE ABOUT THEIR WHEELS THAN ANY DEALER IN THE COUNTRY.

Note, our phone # was the one listed in all AME ads up until end of 2006.

Just so you know you have a HARDCORE AME DUDE on the board that specializes in Multipiece wheel fitments.

Those are Accolade Cspec fenders. The fitment isn't perfect on them but I like the look. I'm gonna buy the Seibon TSII hood and I think that the vents on the hood and fender will give the car a very unique look.

(BTW I'll be getting my hood from Rishie too, so if you need some Seibon stuff he's the guy to talk to)

well i will be getting the seibon hood and trunk in the spring, but i dont know which hood to go with. i will PM him later

Well Derex'8,

you've officially met the owner of that vehicle. hehe.

I've got several renditions of it. i've widebodied it since then and now is running the same wheel but with A LOT MORE LIP.

Car is pushing a good 450whp est.

derex what did you do to make those fit and also how much camber are you running? can you post more up close pics of the fitment?

I forget the actual specs on my alignment but it was something like -1.6 up front and -1.9 in the rear. On my way now to borrow a friends fender roller and will get some shots of it when done.

yes, fenders -- where?!! is it a widebody-esque or just vented fenders?

op -- sweet wheels by the way. i personally think 255/35 would look better, just to get a lower profile to avoid the monster truck look, but overall the size and lip and spoke design looks awesome.

Here are shots from a few months ago. AME Tracer FS-01 18x9 +31mm all around. I recently curbed two rims on the way home from the bars one night, but the damage is aesthetic so i need to get them repainted. I'll probably end up changing them to an OEM brighter silver or darker color. Pondering...

Throwdown,

Shit Milpitas cops would pull me over in a heartbeat as soon as i started that loud ass rotary ported car. lolz..... It's ironic how you build a car up so much that you just can't frikin drive it anymore. WHACK.....

In response to 2tone

I want to mention that

255/35/18 is just too short of a tire for the RX8.

You can run 255/40/18.

Thanks,
Rishie

really? hmm, that sucks. i guess i'd have to see a picture. i believe you, no doubt, i juts feel like 255/40 would have a huge sidewall! oh, just noticed the 18 ... i want 19's, would 255/35/19 work?

wow that looks great! the pic i posted was also with 285 wide tires too, and probably less camber.

by weak fitment, i mean front spec was 18x9 +37. not aggressive enough. the wheel in the pic i posted was from when i test fitted a used set of ssr professors
