Check it out guys. What do you think? (My rims are of course 18 inch)

P.S. I was parking when I noticed that black RX-8 so I thought I would take some pics to compare...

nice how much weight u add to each rim

looks great, I had mine chromed as well and i'm very happy w/them

Looks great. They match good with the silver. I think some chrome strakes would add a nice touch to it as well :)

I agree with Flawless. I bought the stainless steel strakes to help "spread the wealth" with my chrome rims and they look good.

The wheels look great! When sitting next to stock, they look completely different.

bling bling muhfucka.


i like the stock wheels, chrome, not so much...i prefer the polished ones like on the shinka. but they look alright with the matching sunlight silver paint. :)

I had my stock rims chromed from the dealership & I think it looks even sharper in contrast to a darker color car. I got a lot of compliments from them. Really liked them. Then I sold it to another poster on this board. Can't give up the chrome though. Get a lot of compliments now on my new rims too (chromed, of course).

How much did it cost to chrome the rims? I like the look!

I do not know how much they cost because it was a present to me for getting good grades...

I really want to put strakes on, but 200+ for 4 little peices of metal is rather stupid in my opinion. About the weight.....never had them weighed so I have no clue, sry.

Also, I think the pictures do not really do them justice as in person they look amazing. The sunlight really reflects beautifully off of them and complete the car.

However, brake-dust sure has risen on my list of things I hate...

Thanks for the feedback!

As mentioned in other threads, Howard (in the UK) sells stainless steel strakes; he delivered mine in 4 days. They cost less than $140, they look better than stock aluminum strakes, and since they're steel, I would expect them to last longer.

Are they exactly the same size/dimensions as the stock ones?
