View Full Version : Wheels for my car
alienRX8 02-09-2009, 05:58 PM So I was searching around and I saw these wheels for a nice price. What do you guys think about these wheels in 18x9 in that same color for my Galaxy Gray RX8?

risky business 02-09-2009, 06:07 PM i like those
Aipex8 02-09-2009, 06:30 PM I like the design of the wheel, and while I really like bronze wheels on many colors I don't think they work on gray (shame because I'm gray too). They come in gunmetal too which I think would look better:

alienRX8 02-09-2009, 06:35 PM I just think gunmetal would blend in too much with the color and they wouldnt be noticeable.
idk thats why im asking here hehe
Ross_Dawg 02-09-2009, 08:10 PM Yeah I agree with Aipex, I'm not wild about bronze on GG, looks kinda off...
Post a side pick of your car, (or any gray 8) and have someone photoshop those rims on there, as well as the gunmetal ones.

swoope 02-09-2009, 09:40 PM i thought for a while about putting gunmetal wheels on my car. it blends in to much.. unless it has a big crome lip, and that is way to bling for me.
i think you are best served with silver.
beers :beer:
alienRX8 02-09-2009, 09:45 PM they only come in gunmetal and bronze though :( so no silver jeje
05rex8 02-09-2009, 09:50 PM you should get these:

I think I had that Countach poster in my room when I was in high school! :lol:
Alucard 02-09-2009, 11:51 PM hahaha same here....
btw the wheels will look good
Fortunate Few 02-10-2009, 12:16 AM dont go with bronze gunmetal would be nice, but its your car do what you want.
alienRX8 02-10-2009, 06:50 AM thanks for the quick shop guys :D, now I got a better idea on how they will look.
alienRX8 02-10-2009, 06:53 AM yeah and that poster is OOOOOOOOLD
Ross_Dawg 02-10-2009, 09:16 AM Hmmm... I keep looking at the two and just can't decide which I like better lol
HockeyRX-8 02-10-2009, 09:25 AM I say gunmetal
alienRX8 02-10-2009, 09:38 AM Hmmm... I keep looking at the two and just can't decide which I like better lol
I kinda feel the same but gunmetal just looks evil on that car. Take the strakes off and wow it will look nice :D
alienRX8 02-11-2009, 11:02 PM Ok, so one last question on this.
The wheels come in 3 offsets keep in mind they are 18x9:
+45 (which of course sucks)
+38
+15 (which I think may be a bit too hardcore of a fit)
I want to fit them with some 255/40/18 Falken Azenis
What do you guys think?
Aipex8 02-11-2009, 11:14 PM I'd say +38. I have +38 with 8.5" and 245 and have a little room to spare. +15 wouldn't work.
alienRX8 02-11-2009, 11:36 PM Perfect, thanks man.
