Tons of winning blue VR Red RX-8 owners have Gold or Bronze rims with a silver lip. Looks dam good if you ask me, It reminds me of the JDM look

If there's lots of folks out there with bronze wheels and a vr 8 lets see some of them here. I'm thinking the gunmetal or darker colors would look better with red but lets seem em.

SEX Do it.

Um if you go 19x8.5 Fr (+35-40) and 19x9 Rr (+35-40) is plenty for most people.
18s are about the same offset wise. 18x9 Fr and 18x9.5 Rr is nice too..

Some research into some other members setups would definitely help out alot.
Work has custom sizes so you can go as wide as you you think may fit.
Good luck and keep us posted.

Wild, i'm shooting for Mid-April...
(This is just a center-cap from one of my old rims I had on my Celica, it doesn't fit unfortunately, as I could have made a custom one for the RX8 :\)


And again w/ my stock RX8 center-cap on top of the Toyota one (stock is MUCH smaller than the hole... lol)

Someone DO IT!! I want to see too.. Maybe i'm in for a change of wheels too.

Tragic - Mid april huh.. Damn that sucks, quite a while away. While your waiting get some wheel wax to keep them blinging.. lol
Since they are off the car you can get every nook and cranny. This is good stuff!!

Yeah mid-April is way too far away! My car is being stored in my parents garage for the winter about 1000kms or so away from where I am... I'll check into that wheelwax, the site is blocked at work (reason: shopping) lol
