Ok guyz.. I can only afford one thing!!! I would like to see everyones opinion. Should i get lambo doors and have a lil extra cash or get 19" staggered rims (axis mod black or tsw thruxton)? Help me out

everyone is gonna say 19s and I agree

but its your car man

Wheels

Is there a specific reason though??? for one or the other

wheels make a car

Well, for one, more people are going to notice the wheels and I think they'll look better anyway. Plus, I'm not quite sure our doors are long enough to make lambo doors look right.

Just noticed you're in Orlando, what color?

Wheels!! The lambo doors are cool. However, it is an extreme mod and this could effect the resale value of your car. Wheels will potentially increase the value of the car.

My .02$ cents...

- Irish :cool:

well I will say wheels...but lambodoor kits are not that great...good luck getting IN to the car with them.

The only way you will fit in is if you get a high end lambo kit...on that goes to 90 degrees or more...that is the only way you will get in and the kit look good

but really it is kind of lame to get lambo doors without remote activate compressor opening

that costs more than any rim kit you would get...unless it is carbon fiber rims ;)

rims.

Rims because the lambo doors will make your car look weird if you havn't highly modify the rest of the car.So 19's.......

wheels first, then go for the expresso. :cool:

i'd take the wheels :D

who needs lambo doors when u have freestyle doors???

rims

lambo doors belong on a LAMBORGHINI. putting them on any other can is both ghettotastic and impractical. that is, unless you're going for a 10 star rating in NFSU2.

I say rims because the lambo doors would look stupid with the stock wheels

I say get the wheel first as well then go for the lambo's if you want...I love lambo doors no matter how hard it is to get in Im a skinny guy.

Lambo!!!!

Wheels buddy.

what company were you planning on getting the lambo kit from?

like everyone said. im jus gonna jump in on this. wheels!.

wheels. lambo doors on anything but a lambo is retarded...my friend did it to his tiburon and its such a POS. its heavy and awkward to open the damn thing.

well lambo doors look stupid to begin with and have no place in the rx8....wheels....any pics of your wheels?

Mugatu -- those lambo doors are soo hot right now

Sorry guyz i know there is like a million people on here that said to get the rims before lambo doors but i have decided to do the lambo doors this month because im goin to wait till i need new tires to buy some 19" wheel and tire package. I will post pics as soon as i get it on. i ordered some that are 90 degree so it should be pretty cool.

Well, I guess I'm a bit late but I was going to also suggest the wheels... after all, you're making a purely cosmetic mod, so why not go for the one that people will always see? Your doors will get no exposure when you're on the road...

Ugh... these posts are like deja vu. Someone asks about installing <X part>, dozens of people say, "No, bad idea"... individual installs part anyway.... individual posts pictures... the same people who said it would be a bad idea before the install bury the thread with negative comments.... individual gets mad, calls everyone "haters", takes his ball and goes home.

I'll go with the rims. BTW, wheels do not raise the value of your car. If anything, it lowers the value. My .03 cents.

this is the reason why people leave this forum from month to month...some people can't take constructive crtisism...

Nothing "raises" the value of your car unless you sell it to another private party. If you trade your car with a ton of modifications, the dealership will give you a big "0" for them.

But you could always resell the rims before you sell the car.

Go wheels..

Lambo doors, should stick to Lambos... :P

Or go Gull Wing doors, Back to the Future style! True ricer for reals...

Wheels. Done. ;)

i know im alone here, but go for the lambo doors....id like to see how the 8 looks with lambos before i consider anything like it on mine ;)

best to get bolt on kit. that way the holes are already drilled out and you will know thats made for rx8.
its very difficult to drill holes for the universal fit type kit ;)

I agree
universal anything is tough for a car

it is hard enough making aftermarket stuff that is suppose to be for your car fit

are there any of these kits available for the 8 yet?

like i've said before...if you want lambo doors, save your money and buy a friggin' lambo...sure it's your car...but it's also the same make as mine...so I take offense to those that apply stupid mods such as "lambo doors", especially when Mazda did a super cool thing by incorporating the suicide doors to add to the COOL factor of the 8...you're defiling the car by adding junk like that and taking one of the cool engineering aspects of the car and turning it into something it's not...it's kinda ricey..if you stick to the definition..

all in all...it's your car man..but since you asked for opinions..i gave mine...i think lambo doors are dumb...you've ruined i think the coolest affordable sports car...wheels would have been such a better choice...

if you do lambo doors you need to do the back doors aswell. That would make it worth it IMO. but good luck because that sounds like alot of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

give this guy a buzz....

hmmm cant find any contact info and i dont read japaneese, anyone know where to buy the kit online?

yeh..that's what i want....;lambo doors...so i can look cool CRAWLING into my car...

whatever...

we'll see this on the next touring of Cirque Du Soleil with all the wierd contortionists using it as a prop...:D

Go with the rims.... If the Vertical doors don't seal right you will have road noise leaking in, and you will have an alignment problem eventually.

Its German but its the best mechanism for lambo doors out there...And you won't need to crawl or bend like rubber to get inside-outside...Just send them an email to ask them if they are going to work with an rx8........Simple

I would think that lambo doors would work pretty good for tight parking cituations, Ive found that the 8's doors are pretty long and if you have passengers in the back opening them up in close quarters is a pain, if your worried about them gettin dinged like me

yeah my garage is a squeeze which it might be nice for...

You need to stop hating so much. You don't CRAWL into your car with them, they DO open. (i do see anyone crawling into a lamborghini) That style of doors aren't just for lamborghinis. People just call them "lambo doors" because those are the only cars they have seen with them.

Personally, i think the're unique and definately will make people take a second look when your getting out or in of your car. I say lambo doors :)

Outside of a show car, I think lambo doors just kind of look cheap. It's like a really expensive and well done flame paint job. No matter how nice it is, it still has a cheap feel. It was kind of mentioned before, but the doors will have a more permanent effect. The wheels would be easy to pull off and get your money back on.

NO LAMBO

go with the rims

Free post for 4 year old thread that was resurrected by NOOB... lol

well this was a wasted post.... 99% say rims and the final result are lambo doors.... Lambo doors are so lame that lambos don't even use them anymore....

Lambo doors are the future of automobile access. Lets do a public service and leave them in the future when cars float and run on salt water.

rofl - nice thread bump haha-

Ouch... thread search for "lambo doors" = noob fail.

I would say got your 8 a set of coilover =) it worths
It lower the car and also give you performance

i love how people are still giving advice on a 4yr old thread...

4 yrs and 2 full pages and no one posted this?! I'm a little shocked!

^wtf? lol

THINK about itttt...
