Is is possible for you to elucidate on that opinion? Why do they suck? Are they low quality or is your opinion simply based on a lack of aesthetic appeal to you personally?

If they're of a craptacular quality, I can understand.

They're ugly, they're cheap and they look cheap, they more than likely weigh a ton. I have my doubts that wheels that cheap are forged.

Here's mine. I'm about 20% wanting black wheels (to match the heads, tails, and corners), 80% wanting the rims in the post above mine...

How is your night time visibility?

As for the wheels... whatever floats your boat...

Believe it or not, I really haven't noticed any major difference. I notice my foglights more, but I didn't have them done.

The guy used a transparent black paint. I have a nighttime picture somewhere... let me find it.

Here it is. This is AFTER the tinting in the other pictures. The light shines through really well.

Oh, I am. I hesitate to go with black wheels on the Titanium Gray (even though I have the heads, tails, and corners) for fear of a potential "ricer" look. I have also toyed with the idea of powdercoating my wheels to match the body. Someone Photoshopped a set of stock wheels into TG, and I've seen other RX8's with TG colored wheels (non-stock). I sorta like the way that looks too...

Black accents really well with TiG. I think black wheels look good. I have a set of Black RPF1s and they mesh well with the car, in my opinion. Not ricy.

I thought about black rpf1's too, but I feel it makes the car too dark. Maybe the SBC(super black chrome) rpf01's I've yet to see those on a Ti-grey, I've only seen them on white.

if you're talking about mine, it looks pretty dark, but depending on the lighting, its gunmetal

have been thinking about bronze lately though
