That is going to look great!
vectorwolf 12-13-2005, 08:16 PM Black wheels I hate. White wheels I love. *drool*
Im_DANomite 12-13-2005, 08:25 PM what sizes!?!
yes wut sizes? and offsets!? aldkjalsdkjalskjd im waiting for mine
allmotorRX8 12-13-2005, 08:51 PM just when you said you still dont have your rims
http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=78482&page=2
now here they are, and btw, cant wait to see what they look life after installation
Im_DANomite 12-13-2005, 08:56 PM i'm gonna guess...19x8.5 +36
\\Konig\\ 12-13-2005, 08:57 PM Did they just come in a couple hours ago?
BTW, it looks like you really tore apart those boxes they shipped in....lol :D
cstokes24 12-13-2005, 09:00 PM Jack it up and put them on :) What color are the lugs?

Can't blame the guy for being excited. Waiting for volk wheels sucks we're talking about 3-6 month wait sometimes. Can't wait til you slap them things on, i'm sold on black on black, not quite sure with white on white.
love the rims.. but.. yeah.. your offsets looks like +36 or in the +40's.. i think you could have done better then that.. too flat faced... but if u like them flat .. then thats you. =) gj on the taste of rims tho. but i think in general white on white might clash.. i guess i have to see it on ur car..

Moostafa29 12-13-2005, 09:08 PM I love the way white rims look on a white rx8. They had a few in the best motoring/hot version vids. Congrats, its going to look great!
L8APEX 12-13-2005, 09:11 PM those look awesome. and you have been waiting for a long time now. looking forward to seeing the pics with them on the car.

they did? which one?... i don't remeber...
BlueFrenzy 12-13-2005, 09:36 PM Those looks great. You seriously ripped into those boxes, eh? Like a kid on xmas morning. I'm sure he's in the garage right now jacking up the car and swapping those rims. Get those pics up man.
Whitehot 12-13-2005, 11:55 PM Woo, just got back from a quick ride up the mountain to take some pictures. :jump:
Danomite was pretty close, they're 19x8.5 +38 offset. Plenty of clearance and no rubbing. I didn't want to go staggered and didn't want to stray too far from stock.
I did pretty much rip into the boxes like a wild animal. :D: I've only been waiting for the wheels since February. :mad: Must be a new record. Time to finally change my sig.
Rotor Kreuzer 12-14-2005, 12:05 AM Dude, nice wheels!! Your 8 is looking good! It kinda looks like that one-off, supercharged white mazdaspeed 8 mazda made. The one with white 19" CE28N look-a-like wheels and hood scoop! Drool!!!
tiggerlee 12-14-2005, 12:07 AM That's white hot Whitehot! Awesome look! I like it! :)
ECHO1 12-14-2005, 12:09 AM congrats on finally getting your wheels! looking forward to more choice photos :beerchug:
OT, hows the surf at majors bay?
Whitehot 12-14-2005, 12:35 AM Thanks for the compliments guys. When I first laid eyes on my RX-8, before I even bought it, I knew these were the rims I needed. I've had the vision in my head for a long time. Theres some new picture spots that I've wanted to save for when I got the rims. I got some time off coming up next week so I'll be sure to head out and get more pics.
OT, hows the surf at majors bay?
I haven't actually checked it out the last couple weeks, but it must be decent since there's been a lot of guys going lately. Hmm, the parking lot over there would actually be a pretty good picture spot too.
Im_DANomite 12-14-2005, 12:40 AM nice!! now drop the car and get some center caps.
btw....nice work on the pictures. crystal clear and under control :D:
army_rx8 12-14-2005, 12:42 AM all i can say is ......... NICE!!...and i agree drop the car a lill (RB springs?) and get some center caps :)
\\Konig\\ 12-14-2005, 12:48 AM Its Whitewater pearl new rims week!
They look great whitehot. Good job on keeping it clean looking.
Congrats on the new rims.
Whitehot 12-14-2005, 12:49 AM Hmm, yes, center caps would be good. Maybe some of those Rays racing lug nuts too. I do want to get some coilovers, but it's gonna be a while since I have another project car that is diverting funds at the moment.
REMillers 12-14-2005, 12:50 AM Wow!
I didn't like the white color but dayum it looks nice with those rims...very nice!!!
XDEEDUBBX 12-14-2005, 01:13 AM rims look great! really brings your car to life! congrats!
white on white combo always look good on jap cars
Oranje 12-14-2005, 08:21 PM That looks .... AWESOME. This could start a whole new trend. Green on Green, Red on Red, Silver on Silver ... oh wait i have Silver on Silver. Still, that is one sweet white out.
Cheers,
Oranje
BlueEyes 12-14-2005, 08:23 PM perfect!
Im_DANomite 12-14-2005, 08:37 PM That looks .... AWESOME. This could start a whole new trend. Green on Green, Red on Red, Silver on Silver ... oh wait i have Silver on Silver. Still, that is one sweet white out.

cas2themoe 12-14-2005, 09:20 PM Didnt think I would like it but damn it looks great!
7andan8 12-14-2005, 09:43 PM Had a white Ford SHO once with the white rims and loved it! Your's looks just as nice, congrats on a nice pick with the Volks!
allmotorRX8 12-14-2005, 10:02 PM looks good, nice work
L8APEX 12-15-2005, 08:50 AM come on whitehot, i know you have a new pic in your sig, lets see 'em!
JeRKy 8 Owner 12-15-2005, 09:35 AM If you could get those labels off the rims it'd be perfect.
Whitehot 12-16-2005, 08:42 AM Added a couple new brighter pics. :cool: I got some time off next week so I'll probably try for some new scenery.
Zuhalter Vati 12-16-2005, 04:49 PM Looks awesome, I like the white rotary accent in the front, you need one matching in the back it would look great
eTiMaGo 12-19-2005, 12:04 PM sheeeeet...I was thinking of dark grey or black rims on mine, but seeing these, drool...
How's the ride comfort/handling affected by the larger diameter of the rims?
Whitehot 12-20-2005, 07:49 AM The combination ended up working great. No clearance issues. The tires are surprisingly smooth and quiet, and the ride actually feels better than stock. Turn in and steering response are still very sharp, and the overall feel is very similar to stock. The car feels a bit more stable and planted in the corners with the slight increase in tire width, increased offset, and the shorter sidewall.
4 years to Supercharge 12-20-2005, 08:43 AM :Eyecrazy: White rims do have a purpose.
That looks real nice.
I remember Ice Cube say that same color rims as the car is the new trend.
I heard that after I had bought my silver. :yelrotflm
