That looks great. Black is always a much truer black without a clearcoat, I've always thought that if I keep mine long enough I'll go with a 1-stage black, and I've wondered how a matte or semi-gloss would look. ******* batmobile is how it looks.

Thanks!
The RX-8 do look really mean in matte black, this is an special one from My painter (he loves to do matte black and have made his own) now its impossible to do a quick fuel stop
Its fibreglass and super light, good for tracking. Actually the kit was mutch better then a average replica kit. Front needed no adjustment. I do really recommend aerokit.Co.uk (Y)
Just wanted to share My painted matte black RX-8 as i have seen many request pics and all i see is one not finished and the #70 Grand am

thanks, go for paint. if you have regrets later I guess your painter would be happy to paint it again =)
This may sound strange but I got an killer paint for 2/3 of the price to get a decent wrap, I guess its good to have connections. =)
Incar Kinnekulle, quite interesting with close racing with friends.

Mantorp, alot of debris and unexperienced drivers in this video but I got a few clean laps in the end to scare my friend in the passenger seat =)

Thanks Stuttgart
Yeah, it was a good choise of wheels. now wrapped in 235/40 R888. The turn in and easier changing raceline is amazing with these light rims! im stoked, didnt think they would make that big differance but they did. =)
Feedback is also better and it rides so smooth on the road.
I have my OEM RX-8 18" on my DD Mazda 6 touring -11 but now im thinking of buying these RPF1 in the same dim. to it with some good road tires, im hooked on light rims yes!

I was scared when I first put the rim on the front and noticed there wasn't hardly any clearance. But they do excellent on the track and I will never go back to an 18 on the rx8 for the track.

Its not rubbing but as you said it was to make sure and the guy balanced my wheels did put the weights out on the spot where it is tightest. I figure that will happend more times so I grinded my calibers instead. It was so little that needed to be grinded anyway. =)
Without weights on the rim there is plenty of space left (a couple millimeters atleast )
