Banana Car

Well I have been looking around this forum for a while and thought I would post up what my RX8 looks like.
Owned mine for about 3 years now. What you think?

Rams? Rims perhaps? They are called wheels not rims.

Purple? I thought it was blue? Anyway, I'm not sure about the yellow and blue combo, but to each, their own.

i actually like the purple, its different, I like it. Looks good man, like it has been said. Drop it and spacers and you should be set for a bit.

I have lowered the car around 30mm on Eibach springs and Bilstein dampers.
Dont want to go much lower as I struggle on speed bumps over here in the UK as standard.
I have the Airdam kit just haven't fitted it. Well its finding time.

I know the purple wheels is a bit different but I thought what the hell, why not eh.

If I put 25mm spacers on, would I not need to roll the arches?

People keep saying 'drop it....drop it' but I could see from the first pic the car had some kind of drop in it already.

But the color of the wheels....that was a bold move!!! Eve bolder posting the pics on this forum where people have so strong sentiments about wheels

But whatever, it's your car and you do whatever you want with it
