I didn't even get an invite and you all ran out of the food court before I could find out where you were going. Felt like you were trying to ditch me hehe j/k

The Subaru meet was big, about 30 - 40 cars, I took a lot of pictures and will post them soon but mostly Subarus so might not be of interest to most of you. I'll post them anyway when I get a chance.

Dragonfruit, email these guys to see if they still carry the SSR type C. This html page I found is an old one: http://www.gruppe-s.com/SSR/SSR_TypeC.htm

Dragonfruit, here are the specs of the rim you need:
RX-8 (SE3P)
Bolt pattern: 5/114.3
(front) 17x8.0J +40 245/45-17
(rear) 17x9.0J +40 265/40-17
(front) 18x8.5J +40 225/45-18
(rear) 18x9.5J +40 245/40-18
Or you can do same size all the way around (front and rear) like the stock setting.
SSR type C (SSR comps) does make the right size and offset for your car you just have to find a place that sells them.

Awesome, thanks Hanzo. I knew the guy on the phone at tirerack was talking out of his *** when he told me that they have the silver rim but the gold one is made only for WRX's. Just wanted to get some opinions, does gold rims look ghetto on a black 8? I personally don't think so, but I'd hate to roll into the hospital parking lot and others think that I'm selling crack or something.

I like to hide out in hospital parking lots to egg on stressed out residents so that they will race me.:D Just joking but I'm starting internship in the summer at a hospital somewhere so I gotta look the part you know. Just wondering if gold rims would be a bit too much. Well let me know! I'm hungry who wants to get some food? I'm still running on the burger I had from 4pm yesterday.
