ruddi888,

Are you wheels RE30s? They look bigger than 18" and I thought they did not come bigger than 18". Looks great!

They definitely come in 19". When I looked around last year I did not see 19" as an option so I'm going to assume it was added this year.

Nice cars fellas!

I'm thinking about purchasing a Brilliant Black Rx-8 R3 this week hopefully.

My current car is the one in my signature...

Just bought this yesterday. Mazda kit to go on, still deciding on the spoiler (nothing to ricey)

Full leather, sun roof, dealer tint, bose system, luxury model.. (yeh pretty stock.)

Thinking about getting the current rims in a matte black... I'd like to get some opinions on matte black stock rims... Just a passing thought

Thanks, first time I have owned an RX8 so not really sure on the fuel consumption side, think on paper it's 12 ltrs per 100km's, after first impressions I think it will be a bit higher then that. Once it's run in it will get better fuel consumption. (only done 300km's)

What do you guys think of spraying the alloys Matte black? Better off buying black rims??

Thought the stockies might look good in black..

Oh my gosh, every time i see a white 8 i wish i had gotten white, would it decrease the value of mine to paint it from black to white? or should i just get white next time.??? The color totally changes the look of this car...

It really depends on how long you're going to keep the car. If you're thinking about keeping it for a while, why not? If you're thinking about selling it in about a couple of years, don't do it. It's a waste of money since the 8's do not have a good re-sell value.
