Well, I found the body kit I want. And I found the wheels I want...but will they go together? This picture of the car is not mine, but it's the same color, and the same bodykit I want. It's the Autobahn kit, and I found some gram lights I really like. But will they go together??

I would say no but thats only my opinion. if i were you i would go for either black wheels or a variation of.

and btw. i want to get the autobahn bodykit as well but i havent heard anything about the fitting...how good is it do you know?

I wouldn't mind getting black...I just want it to look a little different from all of the other black cars with black wheels.

go for it i love the gram light rims and the gunmetal would go fine on a black rx8

I just called, and all they have for those is 18's...I'm looking for 19's :(

I also agree. Go for it!

Gunmetal looks amazing on black cars. Also, the Gram lights are HOT!

gunmetal can definitely look good on a black.

called who?.....rays?

I think 18" is the max for all the wheels in the Gram Lights line. If you want a 19" from Rays, try Volk Racing or G-Games. Here's a pic of pdxhak's car with gunmetal G-Games 99Bs (his is the black 8, mines the Ti Gray):

it's all about what u like. personally, i don't care much for the autobahn kit, because i feel that it changes the natural, round curves of the 8 way too much into a sharp, pointy look. as far as gunmetal wheels, take a look at the 2009 R3 rotary accented 19"s. i think the beauty is in the pattern of those wheels, as they look good in the natural alloy and/ or gunmetal. that said, search for some pix and get whatever makes u happy. it's your car :)

called who?.....rays?

www.Mackinindustries.com I believe they're the the central hub for G-Games, Volk, and Gram Lights, an Rays

Gunmetal on Black will work. A slight variance in the color of the wheels will draw your sight towards them. Instead of being overwhelmed by all Black.
Contrast,, that's what life's about

I do like the G-Games Wolf's, but Phoenix already has like 3 8's with em...I definitly want 19x9.5 in the back, and 19x8.5 or 8 in the front

Those would look awesome! If you still want gram lights, but in 19's, look at the 57S Pro. Those would look really good, if not better. Or try Volks like the the GT-V's. Here are pics of a member with a black 8, the Autobahn kit, and 19" Volk GT-V's in Gunmetal.

Awesome pictures, thank you. The wheels are nice, but never been a fan of split spokes. I'm looking for a solid 5-6 spoke wheel...I'm retardly picky of everthing

All these pics makes me want to paint my car black......

Join the dark side...

I would normally say that gunmetal goes with almost anything. But I think a warmer tone of gunmetal wheel would probably look better with BB.
I had a Lexus IS300 as my previous car and I had cool color gunmetal wheels on the warm silver body and it didn't look as nice as I had hoped. I got the wheels repainted a smokey warm gunmetal color and it looked absolutely killer! It's quite surprising how much difference a slight varience in color makes to the overall appearance.
In fact, I would say that the bronze color of the Volks would look pretty hot on BB.

Make sure you like it.

you have to live with it.

I personally like more of a contrast.

ok...I found these...I like the design...I can get them painted...

I definitly like that look

Thanks :)

There are a lot of nice looking 5 spokes out there so it will come down to your personal taste. I wanted a quality 19" wheel that weighed less than OE, looked good and took TPMS so the 99b was the choice. However if I was looking today, I would go with 18x9.5 front and back. You can get a deeper face and can add a little more rubber.

You'd really would go back down to 18? I don't know...I wouldn't mind, but I'm also looking for that bigger wheel look. I laugh at myself, because of how specific I always get with these things. I found these (I posted them earlier) I believe they're a pound heavier than OEM. I'm not a huge racer, so I really don't mind the extra weight...

I do not like the look of either of those wheels. The gram lights I like though!

FWIW the style of the wheel will play a role in how big the wheels look. Just look at the pic aipex8 posted. His wheels are 18" and mine are 19".

^^^ i like the ruff racing wheels. those would look amazing on a black 8 actually if i remember right someone in the wheels section has those on their car...i wanna say it was chrism cause they were on a velocity red but im not sure. im lookin at these wheels also

yea this is a subtle thing you have to know a lot abotu car modding to notice. high quality wheel finishes and materials all make a car look amazing...cheap rims i can tell immediately and it cheapens the car a lot. every mod u make to the car is either going to improve it or make it look shittier, unfortunately most people have bad taste in aesthetics and whatnot and make their cars look like shit.

I appreciate the input everyone. I was afraid I was going to get some lame answers. But I've gotten plenty of excellent answers! Thank everyone, but keep em comin if you want

Get the Gram Lights you originally posted. Those look sick!

Calling around for prices...see if I can haggle lol

hmm i would go flat black give it a barricade type of look stealth and sexy
