whats funny is that people flame me for having 20's cuz they re heavy or just because...... little do they know that when i do get RAYS.....im getting 20's....so then they can shove it in their ***! and he new exhaust will add to the look lol....they'll see at sevenstock next year (cali event)...i appreciate all opinions though...

Why 20's? are you trying to Pimp our your 8? Might as well not go with ray's and just throw on some spinners.

But i do give you props for trying to look different (even though it's not what i would do), but i feel you are going in the wrong direction. but if you want to sacrifice handling of the car for a retarded look, be my guess. but like i said earlier, if you like it that is all that matters. but if me if i was to put 20" on a car. it would be a car with a big body, such as charger etc. just doesnt look right on a rx8. makes it look like a car version of bigfoot.

+1

I'd drop the 20's and put a wheel that is a bit...more to scale with the rest of the car. I'm not going to hate on the rear bumper just because of pictures, but I think between that and the oversized wheels it would look off.

But in the end, it's your money, and your car. If you like it that's all that counts.

because you dont have on 20"s yet. but i guess its one of those things you must learn on your own.
but i must ask you a quick question. why do you think any GT racing series never use 20's but instead use 17 or 18's 's on their 8? . Any how GL with your car Zumn,
hope it does what you think it would do.

BTW: everyone at Sevenstock didnt seem to mind the 20"s because they didnt look dubbed out....u have to see it in person....

oh really now? Do you even know what GT stands for?

also i want to comment about your 7stock comment. Not to sound **** hole or anything. but i think those ppl there where on crack. because i find it mighty strange that 90% of the ppl here think it looks ghey. but hey california must have different taste from the rest of the ppl of world. never lived there, only place i ever lived is Japan for 17 years and texas for 11
