There's different ways to do it. The way i post pics is i upload them to my photobucket, then transfer the image link to here. Sign up to www.photobucket.com it's free, and easy to upload pictures.

^Body kit looks very nice and clean. Personally i think completely black wheels don't look as good as black wheels with a crome lip on them. But overall the car looks very nice.

Chrome lip on the OEM wheels would look funny because of the way the spokes stretch out to the lip.

Yeah but i was thinking more of getting aftermarket black wheels with a crome lip. This is my favorite Black on Black rx8.

Yup that car is the reason I bought mine! After buying the car new with all the extras incluing satnav and then getting the authentic MS kit I had like zero $$$ left. Powdercoating my OEM wheels was the best I can do whilst I save up for the wheels.

^Yeah i'm in the same boat as you. I loved that car so i had to have a black 8. I couldnt afford the HRE wheels because they are $2000+ so i got some cheaper black wheels with a crome lip. I will be getting the MS kit eventually, but first i need a few performance mods.

The red light on the rear MS bumper on mine is a fog light which is a requirement in the UK. Unfortunately the OEM roytary fog does not fit there.

Thanks for the comments guys!
