I want to get rims like these.

https://www.rx8club.com/showpost.php...8&postcount=19

Obviously not that size, but I like the Non Spoke Style, I saw a Maxima with them about a year ago, car looked like it was hovering... so um, any ideas what they are called, or where I could get them?

Retarded. I think ***** spoke wheels or the clear wheels will make better wheels than those.

Like I said, I dont want that insane size, or crazy lip or crap like that. hmm 1 sec Ill design something to show you, brb.
Also would paint it Black, to be fully Blacked out, and add to the crazy Hover effect... as long as they arent insanely heavy (which I fear they will be).

Something Like that is what in mind for my Altima, but I'm pondering it on the 8, problem is, I have no clue what those rims are called, nor who makes them or weight, Sizes, things like that. Any Info would be awesome.

Did you just base a design on a game?

Dude, those rims are hot. OP should really get them. You will never have to worry about brake dust ever again. Besides, it's not like you track the car, your brakes won't heat up.

I used a Game to show what I was referring to, but I have seen a car or two with them.

I didnt think about Heat... sucks


I just liked the fact that it looked like the car was hovering as it passed me.


I WAS NOT GOING TO GET THE SIZE LOL

and just for the heat factor I think Ill reconsider... screw everything else though, I still like em.

I say get 'em.

When i was around 10 or so back in the go-go 80's, my aunt had a gold Fiero. When she visited my parents house she would park out front, curbside in our subdivision. I used to tell all the neighborhood kids that I hungout with that it was a special Ferrari when they looked at it and said "Cool... What is that?" Some of them actually believed me and thought my aunt was real rich or something. Later down the road I think the car caught fire and that was the end of that...

This is one of those rare cases where size doesn't matter.

You don't deserve an RX8. If you seriously want rims like that.
