Car has not had a chance to fully settle yet but here are a couple of pics...The DPKs are 19x8 with Nitto 555s at 245/35/19.

 

Pic #2 - What's up MikeB? I love them by the way and after long discussion with Golden West tire decided to keep the TPMS intact, appreciate all the knowledge they gained from yours!

 

nice ride SDFLY. I know you were thinking about wheels for awhile now. You made a good decision!

 

Looks great! You can be proud.

 

Thanks guys...I'm REAL happy, had to wait an additional 2 days after dealer could not deliver on appointment day, he tried to talk me into some 5zigen wheels that were very very similar but obvioulsy twice the price, I even thought about for a second but the fact was I liked these more and was willing to make the 250 mile roundtrip again for the ones I had ordered..It's all good now.

 

dam thats the third 8 with those rims on this forum... lets start to get original..

 

2nd that

 

wow,
they look so awesome
Im glad goldenwest hooked you up

 

We all live in different parts of the country. It's not like we all live next door to one another. The rims look good, and the car looks good with them. If "originallity" was our sole purpose for buying new wheels, none of us could afford them, because we'd all have to have them custom designed and manufactured.

I've seen about a million and one sets of Volks on 8's in this forum as well. Nothing wrong with it. We buy what looks good, and we're all happy.

 

BTW, those look great SDFLY. Nice job!

 

Money was not an issue, couldn't find a better lookin' rim....

 

Hands down the best yellow I have seen.....

 

i mean don't get me wrong here..i wasn't trying to bash on it...it does look really good with the wheels on... IMO its just the same car with the same rims that other people have on... i guess i just get tired of seeing the same thing twice... but congrats on the rims.. =)

 

hey nice drop, but what happened to your front factory air dam?

i could have sworn you got one installed before?

 

i like that matte finish on them with the yellow...nice contrast....

 

Thanks Brother

XDEEDUBBX, understood and thanks. Hey by the way, would you except a plain jane Ferrari 348 or 911 Turbo, people tend not to alter their "factory look" but I'd still LOVE to have one. Sometimes when it's done right (props to MikeB and mdw33333) you just except it and ride with it.

 

Hey "Rexi", appreciate the pm. Go with the springs, if in the end you do not like the feel, I'm sure you can sell them with no problem.

Sorry AutoBahn, but your Volks aren't any more "original" than the Motegis, just more expensive.

 

Yep, but I haven't seen any other 8s with them yet.

 

Looks awesome.........what Tanabe's did you use? Love the way it sits.

 

Thanks and ....would be Tanabe NF210s : 1.2 front drop and 1.5 rear drop.

 

sdfly,
I thought that you had installed tanabe GF 210 springs, not NF 210 ?
Can you clarify

Regards
Rexi

 

My paperwork says NF210, sorry if I mislead you.

 

looks awesome...i love those wheels...might get some in chrome...
