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.

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?

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!
