so i was playing forza motorsport 3 ,

i had the mazda speed rx8 obviously and i was looking threw some rims and i decided to get these Advan Super Ver.2 Wheel 18x8, 5x114.3.
I seen them on a 92 rx-7 in person looked amazing has anyone else seen them or have had feedback on them

thanks

 

umm - how is this in the discussion forum??

btw, 18x8 = weak

go 18x10

 

lol idk i thought it would be a discussion , im gonna go see the guy at the shop 18x10 is better because of the width or what, i was checking the specs on the oem rims there 18x8 seem to be pretty good

 

18x10 w/high offset can provide more rubber to the road and just look better IMO. You could always slap 265 or 275's on an 18x8 wheel but yeah....not exactly the most practical thing or best looking. This is all assuming that you're not going for autox anyways.

 

ok cool man thanks for the advice

 

IMO 3 spoke wheels do not look good on the 8

 

what would you go with 5-6 spoke or a spider looking rim not sure what its called lol

 

i wouldnt put a 275 on a 8 inch wheel just throwin that out there... +1 for 18x10's though... however im happy with my 18x9 in the real, i have a 265 on it and it's pretty flush with the rim

 

19x9.5 or go home!

In my opinion, rx-8's look better with more spokes.

 

Someone on this board have those rims in 19s I think.

 

Thanks for the reminder to swap out my virtual RX-8's rims to match upcoming real world.

 

so you guys dont think these are nice

 

it's been done... a while back
Try searching Lazi, i think it was him.

 

Stick with the 18x8

Tires are cheaper and you won't have alignment problems.

If you go larger the car will stop slower and go slwer as you do not have the power for a bigger wheel

Unless you plan on spending 10 grand on a turbo or go racing you don't need the larger wheels.

 

^ that does not make sense. My 19" wheels with 255/35 does not give me alignment issues. Each wheel/tire combo is 4lbs less per so no performance drop. Tires are definitely cheaper though if you stay with 225/45/18. But saying you need to go FI to take advantage of larger and better tires is silly.

 

so whats the best thing to do then for daily driving

 

If you dont care about performance, just DD.
18x8.5 with 255 Rubber all around

Wheel and Tire are up to you and your weather.

 

we dont have the horsepower to warrant anything past a 245 tire.

 

What's best for Daily Driving, and what will look the best, are two completely different things...You need to decide what you want out of a wheel, before you start asking us what you want.

 

heavy and slow.

beers

 

I knew i saw it some where...

you can photoshop it and play with the colors but you get the idea...doesn't look very good on a stock 8 IMO

 

sam had those advans on his 8 for a while..

looked and still look like *** on the rx8.

just my opinion, i could be wrong..

beers

 

thank you for the feedback guys , ill work around it try and get something going i appreciate it
