smrx8 where u getting em for 1000 bucks???

 

sorry i havent responded from the p.m
but you can get them from ebay type in axis milano
he has sold a ton and i know someone getting them.
easier heres the link
axis milano 19" staggered

 

iam gonna go searching again for the site but this site had them for 249.00 each it seem cheap for a good rim ill post it when i find it.

 

Called AXIS yesterday, 18s will not be released for another 2-3 months. 19s are just coming out, but hard to get. Anyone else can confirm this?

 

The milanos are very nice and not bad quality either, the price on ebay is awsome and they are light... You can get those with S03s for about 2k, not bad...

 

Hey,

I'm thinking about the Milanos also, but can anyone tell me if there's any caliper clearance with this rims?

I put an order in today for the Graphite Hiros...should have in 6 weeks! :-)

 

Do TPMS sensors fit on the hiro?

 

My guess probably not. They do not seem it fit alot of aftermarket rims.

Anyone know if stock tires would fit this 18 X 8.5 rim? I have heard of teh stocks fiting 7.5, but I am not so sure about 8.5?

 

The max rim width for a 225/45-18 tire is 8.0, they are designed for rims that are 7,7.5 and 8 only... If you are getting the 18x8.5 rims you should go with a 245/40-18...

 

Well confirmed today the TPMS fits the hiro perfectly... Also confirmed that the best sizes, offsets and tires for the RX8 are...

19x8.5 Offset 45mm (Front) 235/35-19 Tires (32psi)
19x9.5 Offset 55mm (Rear) 265/30-19 Tires (36psi)

I know they fit because after much research that included fitting them (gunmetal/amph hiros) on my car; they work, fit and look awsome...

The car handles very good with them, turn in is now the best I have ever experienced and I have driven just aboyt everything out there including 360 modenas... The tire pressures are set up to neutralize the affect of understeer due to staggering and I have to say the handling is atill nice and neutral... The rolling dia of this setup is almost identical to stock; just a little smaller and according to my hand held GPS is now correct 65mph is now 65mph...

Will post pics tomorrow on a new thread...
