Because when you paint wheels black you lose the detail of the wheels. Besides black wheels on a VR is sooooooooooo played out, it's been done to death.

No offense

Don't get me started on the time attack theme. After Deedubb did it with the Volks it was a done deal.

I'm gonna get the insides done in lime green and the face done in black. And then I'm going to try and make it a reliable daily driven drift car.

Rules for rocking black wheels on a VR:

1. They must be properly sized and gloss black
2. You must be properly stanced.
3. Your car must be clean, no damage, no chrome, no mis matched CF parts, etc.
4. Your windows must be blacked out
5. You must not have faded black fender vents or exhaust shrouds.

Sometimes simple is better. Too many jump into body work too fast and don't think it thru and end up doing it wrong or don't finish it. Very few actually do body mods well. That is why aero will be the last thing I tackle. For now it's about powa.

But at least I don't front and try to pass off my knock off fakesports as real Wedsports..................... But if you want to come stateside and race, I'll show you how stock my car is



i didnt know you were boosted but still your car looks less than the other guy on a car show.

i did it the way around from outside to boost.

Well long story short i got screw without knowing , learn the lesson the hard way.
I race you any day at the nurburgring, come over dude... its gonna be to easy.....

20" wheels and a CF hood won't win any shows around here. Clean and functional is in man, don't you know? You got ripped off, that sucks..............but I doubt you will let that will happen again.

Running the ring is on my bucket list. Some day it will happen but I doubt it will be in an RX-8. More likely it will be as a passenger in an M5 Taxi.....

Yeah, this is a lesson I have learned for sure. I have some pretty cool plans but I have to get this thing reliable before I start with cleaning things up. Once I get the turbo back from Turblown I will work on engine bay beautification and install the coilovers (stance GR but they will work for now), endlinks, sways.

Then I will decide on a front bumper and side skirts (hardest decision ever). Then it is off to my buddies shop it goes.
