I guess i am just a person who only does things to a car that helps it and i am more consertative. but since you are doing this for show, then my opinion doenst matter. so keep up the good work
its all good, we all got Rx8's.

Neither have I, out here in the Antelope Valley area there is only 2 other Winning blues out of a tri-city population of like 600,000. One of the other winning blues is all stock with the chrome oem wheels which a chick drives rarely, and the other is like WB no tinted windows, roof air deflector=fail, pep boy rims 17's 45 tire, strakes, cheapy exhaust, no areo kit at all, Cf oem hood, he hasnt lowered it, looks like he goes to pep boys for all his stuff. Then u got mine, body kit front/back/side aeros 20 ZINIK rims which are not dub looking but just more wheel. All tinted windows, a straight clean look. Let alone i seen another GG,SS,TiG,VR(like 4 a lot of these *******), but none of them with body kit or even wheels or even tint. So yeah, wb is rare and with after market kits even rarer. But thanks everybody to who posted to this thread with their opinions, they may have helped me for future mods.

I just wanted to let everyone know that my wheels weigh 50 lbs on the dot with tires fully inflated. I took them off to add some bolt and nuts to my lip instead of using self tap screws, so how much do 18's with tires fully inflated weigh if anyone has actually weighed them...?

How much do your tires weigh? Different model tires have different weights, not to mention a tire through it's life will lose a few pounds as the tread gets scrubbed off.

i dont know how much my tires without the rims weigh and am not gonna take them off to weigh them, as far as thread life, its fairly new maybe at 80%, and um my tires are Nitto Neo Gens 20" 225/35/20 and when the rear need replacements i am going to put on 245/35/20 on the rear only. keeping 225 in the front.

holy **** those bad boys are heavy. when you get new rims, its gonna feel like +50 on the butt dyno. especially if you get a reasonably sized rim.
