There nice wheels...but for some reason they look smaller than the stock rims? Are they 18" rims?

The 8 is one of the few cars where I wouldn't feel the need to change rims, most examples I've seen with other rims don't work IMO.

You choice is an exception, very clean looking, and I think those Enkei's are light! Good job!

Looks good. You should consider adding the appearance package or some Mazdaspeed body upgrades. Either will make a huge difference in the looks. The appearance package will be alot more affordable and will keep it looking more stock, if that is the look you want.

Nice looking wheels, what do they weigh? Are those the ones that are <20?

See if you can install a stock spoiler. It really fits well with the VR.

Yup, I plan on lowering my car, along with either the MS spoiler or stock one, i havent decided what I like best with the VR color. I may even do the entire MS kit in the future. I am also thinking of getting the MS sport exaust.

but first I am going to do some dark tint, clear corners, and some racing beat screens.

I personally dont like the MS kit on the VR....just doesn't look right. I'd wait for the new MS concept kit.

Also, Zaino that beauty!

I am not to sure I like the MS kit on VR either, but I would like to see it in person since the VR looks WAY better in person then in pictures!!

Zaino will be going on next weekend since this weekend we are supposed to get like 2" of rain!! (we really need that rain here!!!)

There was a thread that had pictures from a car show that actually had the concept and it looked sweet, I can't seem to find the thread

bleh, here it is
https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...aspeed+fenders

I would imagine that would look badass in VR

That's a nice one. I love the fender strakes. I am debating whether or not I want a shiny fuel door at point in time. It may be a future addition.
