9krpmrx8's New Volks shoot :)
 
her are my new wheels :) It sucks, I took over 80 pics and something happened with my SD card during the import process and they are all gone. I don't know what the hell happened but luckily Hoss-05 was with me to get some shots from his own camera :)

And new mats and an interior shot for GP :)

Looks awesome bro, love the wheel choice

9krpmrx8 10-06-2012 11:35 PM

Thanks man, I had to roll the fenders today and do some grinding to get them to fit. I think I got it but there is still some rubbing so I may have to raise it. I need the car to still be functional in the twisties.

Slidin8 10-06-2012 11:37 PM

It's all about the twisties,

If in doubt, grind it out

SayNoToPistons 10-06-2012 11:44 PM

My favorite pic. Shows how aggressively functional it is.

*snip*

Agreed! It's awesome to see functional fitment (that's also flush, to the true, original definition of the word)....I went with a similar approach on my 8, although not quite as aggressive as yours.

Love the wheels! Definitely my favorite of your wheels so far. Car is almost perfect! (the only nit-pick I have is the lack of tint on the back window only.)

If so you're so lucky. :(

10 mm spacers I assume? What tire sizes are you running?

Yeah. The whole car will be re tinted soon. I had the back window busted out a club and after spending $700.00 to replace I didn't want to pay for tint. It annoys me as well though.

:lol: It needs a clay bar and wax bad but I am having some paint work done soon so I will wait until after that to do it up right.

Yep, Project Kics in the rear and Ichiba's in the front.

They don't look like stock and they look and perform better than your WEDS ripoffs. Opinions are opinions I guess.

:lol: Keep sippin' that hatorade bro, my RX-8 would destroy yours in any category. lolmoney. Who knows man, you may be in luck. Now that tiltmode is not around much maybe you can buy another set of knock offs and try and pass those off as real.

Carbon8 10-07-2012 06:44 PM

What's the weight on those, they look great man. I just hate adding extra pounds.
