Looking for stock 18" rim / tires

Hi all,

Intend to sell my 13th mths old RX8. If you have friends who are looking or keen, please contact me (Roger - 97603030). Cheers.

http://public.fotki.com/BlackAero/mazdarx8/
Btw, the pics are not update, my car has a full original MS bodykit.

I am looking for stock 18" rims + tires. Don't mind swapping my 18" 2pc Work rims w/ PS2 tires (245/40/18) with stock + topup cash.

Regards,

Roger aka BlackAero

He paid new at a price of US$ 2500 = S$4250.

So its 70% of original price.

m-ster, sad to part my car but 3rd kid on the way so need a bigger car to ferry the kids.

i love the handling of this car, so sweet esp with the aragosta it makes it much precise. I think with the sway bar and strut bars will the will have even lesser body roll.

I already got a buyer for my car (deposit taken though not handed over) and he wants all my parts so I can't sell the seperately. Btw, I'd all the stock parts except for the rims which I'd sold it sometime back.

I really need a stock rim + tires, if anyone has it I will buy it. Thanks.

Wow! 3rd kids! you'r really supporting the goverment's campaigns! :D

So wat's the deal? The buyer wants the original rims and tyres? That's why you've got to get the original back? I'm itchy to get new rims.... but have not make up my mind yet. Must I have to take over your rims(Work)? I have no idea wat to let go the rims at, pm me your offer if you interested, then we take it from there. BUT one of my rear wheel got scratches though.

Alternatively, try pm ngkenny & coupe07. They are selling their OEM18".

Well....

I'm all over the place.....

For rims, I'm more into asthetic than performance. So, the rims I'm looking not necessary have to be lightweight.

It must have lips.

It must have bolts.

Ideally 2 pcs rims.

So I have like more than 6 to consider from, like CR or CX of Racing Hart, 5Zigen Hyper5ZR, Lorinser_LM6, Maido or Trafficstar (the rims that AutoBahnSports uses on their Strasse kit) and HRE-540R (which is the only multi-spoke here)....

Have not quite make up my mind... I like the Lorinser_LM6 best, but there's already a gray8 running around with that...

.....dilemma

M also looking at new clothes (bodykit)... 07 would know this...
Can only afford to get either one.


new shoes or new clothes

more dilemma


You looking too?

NEW CLOTHES!!!!!!! shoes can wait a little while, since u are running on 18s which are looking fairly decent........ :D :D

looking at ur rims choice.... u r more inclined towards "showcar" rims than "sporty rims or "rugged" rims......

i personally like racing hart CX and CR...... but too bad my kit doesnt go well with showcar rims..... if not, i wld have opted for showcar rims also instead of rugged looking rims.....

WORK rims are nice as well......

Egg... think BlackAero is looking for stock 18" rim / tires to pass to the buyer of his car and swapping for his 18" 2pc Work rims with PS2 tires (245/40/18) for it, plus cash top-up.

If you are looking for 18" rims, there are plenty of after market rims but might cost quite a bit. The cheap and good option is to buy over the stock 18" rims from those who upgrade to after market rims. Nice thing about his forum is there are always people changing stuff and looking to sell stuff. Just post your "wish list" like what Vanquish did.

You can start your own wish list... what Vanquish is looking for may not be what you're interested in. As they say, one man's meat is another man's poison.
