Sports cars are typically tinted out anyhow so it just seems normal rather than the tinted out "punk" cars. Tint is relatively cheap and the caliper paint is a few bucks at auto zone, i expect to see pics of that red rocket with tint and bright red calipers by this time next week!!! LOL later

I think you guys are giving brutalbrad too much grief!! We still need to see more pics and different angles. I think my winter 17's are too small,... the factory 18's are good, but, at certain angles, I've thought even the 18s look small. I've wondered if 19's or 20's could look better. Give it a fair chance !!!

As for the wheel style, I've seen a lot worse on VR 8's. I generally don't like gray or black wheels on VR '8s (including my own winter wheels), but these could change my mind.

not bad. the rear offset looks "off". have you rolled/lipped the rear guards yet?
are you rubbing on the outside or on the inside?
when are you lowering it?
and you know this is because you have had 20" on your rx8

I don't think it looks too bad, but you DEFINITELY need to fix that crooked strake.....and it would compliment your wheels to tint as dark as possible (as others have said). Oh and why are your strakes on the right side of the car red, but polished on the left side?

not bad, car looks like it's sagging a bit in the back (maybe it's just our funky car's stance or how you have it parked etc) Those look nice on the red though, good match.

I was waiting for someone to post about the mismatched strakes...nice eye Whitey. They all used to be red however the paint for some reason on the drivers side strakes was flaking off so i painted them silver and quickly threw them on there. Crooked nonetheless. I have my bodyshop where i work that will paint them ??? for you guys should i keep them red or go silver. Which do you think looks better. Im split on that decision

Red.
I like the color match on all colors, except black. But def. red on your VR since you've got the red & black going.
Oh, and did anyone mention tint?

^ hmmm. Went back & reviewed both photos (which conviently show both options 
) and my opinion has been swayed.
The silver does bring it all together nicely.
