After all the changes i've went thru the car is slowly coming into its own now... little piece by piece it is going to evolve into my very own unique rx-8.. the custom gemini cf hood....the custom finnished AMEs.... the varis cf kevlar spoiler....only black on this forum to have INGS kit?...... i feel each part makes my ride unique and different... im totally enjoying this modding process

couldnt do it without all you guys' support......imagine if everyone hated the new wheels........i would have broken down and cried...

Not what I was expecting after the poll thread for changing the color...

I liked the black and silver lip with the matching set bolts going around the inside of the lip so you could anodize those blue to match

A set of strakes anodized blue would look beautiful too.

Not to be offensive in any imaginable ways to the ones who suggested these options..... but due to my personal preferences...pinstripes and strakes wont be in my plans

What color blue is it? It looks very close to Winning Blue. I wonder how the anodized blue would look on a WB car (like mine).

As for blue on black, I told my son yesterday -- he got a new black suit and was looking for a tie -- that any color looks good with black, so just pick the best-looking tie in the store. I doubt I'd have gone with the blue like you did, but it looks distinct and clean. Congratulations.

Its VERY different, but I like it a lot. Love the kit, and the rims are definitely unique. Glad we got you to go with the Black on Black look. Welcome to the INGS club. Seems like quite a few people are getting it now.

Its actually candy blue paint tinted into my clearcoat over my polished lip to produce that finnish. So its not technically "anodized" but it provides the same metallic looking gloss. Plus when the black spokes reflect off the lip it makes hte lip produce a purplish hue.......its uber cool

I like the distinct look, fits a 22 year old with an 8. contrary to what most here have said, i wouldnt add too much blue, especially not pin stripes or strakes (though it looks like you wont be putting those on anyway). I like the clean look with the *KABAM* wheels.

I like it, its diffrent. Its a JDM drift style look....
I am glad you didn't go with Gold wheels....Gold wheels are starting to be played out. I watched a few people get laughed at yetserday in front of my grocery store because they had gold wheels on there white G35.

Leave the gold wheels to the Sti crowd, they look good on Suby's, everything else they look just ok.
