altspace - Do you have pictures from the side? I'm curious how much they bulge out from the rim. If they do?

I got it from a former forum member who was manufacturing them back in 2006. He since left the RX-8 family and no longer makes them as far as I know.

Why? The car is fine. I was just curious about the suspension. Then I noticed the chrome and for that I am not a fan of myself, but to each their own.
