Love the vert! I've always wanted one of these. Did you swap the wheels already?

I don't have the car yet.

lol. How can I swap the wheels?

I still have my RX8 wheels. But I'm not sure how red and Black would look on white. I don't think it would look good. Plus they're 265/35-18's. Would fit the back, just not to sure on the front.
So now I am going to be looking for a new set of something.

The key downside to the vert is that they are h-e-a-v-y!

Hmmm the vert looks familar. yeah, 265/35-18's would have a very hard time fitting up front.

congrats on the nice addition.

Thanks Dave. It should look familiar. You've seen it before.

Ya I don't think the 265's are gong to work. Ray will be getting my old wheel set up. I think they will look nice on his Black 8.

Wow that looks to be a pretty clean ride! Can't wait to see it. Glad you were able to stay in the rotary family.

yep, fixed. Keep it clean or go extreme, I dont think Ive ever seen a RE Amemiya Widebody convertible before,,, and that would solve any doubts you may have about wheel fitment,,,
