New member to the club
hi guys & girls,
i just like to intro myself to this forum. Name is Paul and from Syndey, im proud to be a 2nd owner of this RX8. I have had the car for a week now and im loving the way the car is and how it drives. what can i say, im a very happy new rx8 owner. Car came with HEAPS of Mazda factory options as a great bonus. I am now in the market for some wheels and suspension. i have been doing some reseach on this forum and seem to see most go for a 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear. only thing is can anyone tell me the best and fattest offset i can get as i would love to have the car look fat and tuff. (car will be lowered bout 1.5 inches and hope not to lip the guards unless i have to for the fat look) rims i am learning to are the Volk gram lights 57F Pro with a noble gold centre...or any other suggestions u guys think would be a bonus too ;) Also, is there any other mazda rx8 australian forums i can register or is this it? here are some pics of the car the way i bought it...standard trim with factory options thanks guys and your input is greatly appreciated. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...4/IMG_6186.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...4/IMG_6188.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...4/IMG_6190.jpg |

Howdy, there is a com.au site but most people use this one! Some both. We are putting together a cruise soon so stay posted!

are you sure you want to go staggered?
it produces a bit of understeer and on top of that you wont be able to rotate the tyres. what about a 19 x 8.5 all round? |
...Where are my manners?
Welcome btw! Youve certainly chosen a very nice car! I hope you enjoy your stay! There are lots of people who have a lot of knowledge around here so feel free so ask! Where abouts in syd are you located? |

i don't live in the west but I'm there fairly often so If i see you round I'll give you a wave!. I'm in a red rx8 not much else really, brake light mod, painted calipers ... Enjoy! |
Welcome Snypes

Welcome!
You are the same person from the other side that forget my question of where you are from? |
Welcome Snypes.
I'm in the Fairfield City area too, so if you see my white baby around say hi. Nice extras - I have the same external options as you except for spoiler and fuel lid. If my eyes are correct: front air dam, side skirts, rear skirts, front/rear chrome crests, b-pillar garnish, fender strakes. :) ...oh and scuff plates too! |
