I exchanged wheels!! for my RX8
 

http://www.knowledgelink.jp/user/tk/sp_hweel_00.jpg
I exchanged the wheels of my RX8 with those one which had been searching and Finding today.:D
(I looked for it for two month.)
My RX8 was replaced with 18inch hweel from 16inch hweel.
I like the 18inch hweel's drive feeling better than 16inches.
I felt the weight of a car, while driving with the 16inch wheel sometimes.
But When I changed to the 18 inch wheel, I did not felt that weight.

My normal hweel
16inch X 7.5JJ 225 / 55 R16 94V

New hweel
18inch X 7.5JJ 225 / 45 R18 91W Bridgestone POTENZA-GúB


I love yellow with the black hweel.
thanks all

They look very nice :D I like the yellow and black combination.

The car must look interesting at speed because the red text on the wheels will become many red circles on the black background.

Lensman. Are you following me? :p

Great pics and a most tasteful choice for wheels. East Moon does it again.

Congratulations! Looks great. Makes it very cool for cruisin'.

Very nice, a good choice EAST MOON.

very nice east moon

EastMoon: can you post a pix of the whole car? not close up! i want to see the overall look of the wheel combo...

not my preferences but its a great look!! :D
if i have money ill buy a 19 or 20 two/three piece.. hehehe

all you need now is a suspension kit... ;)

Very nice East Moon. Probably the first owner to put new wheels on an 8. He does it again.! :D

I like it!

Very nice! Fits perfectly with the yellow! :cool:

I don't really care for them, black rims almost look like a car with stock/standard iron rims with no hub cabs, especially from a distance. But that's my opinion...

Certianly different...

I like 'em on yellow.

So EastMoonsan is the first to get an RX-8 and now the first to mod one. Damn!

Other Options
 

Hi East Moon. yor car and the new wheels look great!!

Have you considered some of the other options that are currently available in Japan but not in the USA? For example, the Starter Buton, the Fender trim pieces (2 chrome/aluminumm strips) that go behind the wheel, etc.

Please let us knwo which of the options you think are worthshile and we can lobby for them in the States. Thanks very much.

Boowana

those rims look silly. I don't think I've ever seen a car with black rims look better! good choice. Yes boowana. The Starter Button!

Lobby for the Starter button, Strakes (official name for what you call the Fender trim pieces), LED shifter, and lip spoiler!!!

Hi Cihuuy

You need more?:D

Hello Boowana Thanks for your reply

But sorry
The options which I ordered are only an Aluminum-pedal-set, Floor mat, and CD.

I thought that delivery will be late, when I ordered many options.
and
I gave priority to exchanging wheels first.
and I am waiting for the product of other part companies.

everyone thank you very much for your reply.

that's a silly question... of course we all want more... hehehe
tanx EastMoon.. :D those certainly have an aggresive look to it... :evil:

oh so hot! i love black rims!!! titanium ones, too

east moon yours came w/ 16 inch wheels? i take it it's not a type-s then? what else are you planning on doing w/ the car? :D

Black one is 18 inche.
But my RX-8 was 16 inche hweel till last week.

Next is...................Please wait for the next post of me.:D

thanks chinx

I cant see the pictures

if you can't see the pics right click on them and then click properties. copy the url and paste it into the address bar on your browser. that should take you to where the pic is hosted and you should be able to see the pic. then after doing the first one click your back button and you should most if not all of them in his posts. this doen't always work but it worked for me in this instance.:)

Thanks I got it working. I dont know if I like the black rims
