New Shoes for my whip
 
3 Attachment(s)
Alrigth folks, I waited an eternity for my new wheels to be made especially for me :)
I bought 18 x 8.5 Axis Reverbs wrapped in Federal Tires.
Enjoy.

p.s.
I forbid anyone with a Red R-8 to buy these rims.

I like it plain. I don't want a car with a bunch of shit on it just so everyone that looks at it can hear it scream "PERFORMANCE."

but thanks for the comment :)

sweet ride man, its not plain at all, its just "clean". I like the look, don't add graphics and be part of the fast and furious shit. Looks nice, kudos on the clean car!

\\Konig\\ 06-29-2006 11:33 PM

oh wow, that looks really clean!

nice job snowboarder. i like the rims!

RX8Burg 06-29-2006 11:33 PM

I think it looks pretty hot.

Nice setup! Not a fan of the huge Axis on the wheels.

A few suggestions:

- Clear corners.
- Lower it a bit.

i agree.. thats what i need as well :(

SayNoToPistons 06-29-2006 11:53 PM

nice. cool thing you didnt go for the 19 inchers. 18 FTW!

NgoRX8 06-29-2006 11:55 PM

nice shoes. i think you should lower, and then you are done

XDEEDUBBX 06-30-2006 12:52 AM

car looks great, like the above said, lower it!

RA-Eight 06-30-2006 11:36 AM

Looks good! Did you happen to weigh them? Reverbs have a hollow spoke, I've always wondered how much they weigh.

Moostafa29 06-30-2006 11:39 AM

Looks GREAT the way it is. Just drop it a bit and you're set.

My best friend didn't like the huge axis either, but I kinda do.
I agree. Clear corners will probably be next (cheapest mod)
Then I think it'll be an exhaust and midpipe after that. Then perhaps either new springs, sway bars, or a turbo :)

work in progress, but man it's fun.

I didn't weigh them, but I'm sure if you ask axis they'll tell you how much they weigh.
While in the box, fed ex said they were 50 lbs a piece (tires included)

alfy29 06-30-2006 12:45 PM

Looks very sweet, and i like the reg side lights on red cars.

MadDashRX8 06-30-2006 03:20 PM

Did ya get a military discount on those Federal tires? :rollingla

Yes Sir,
Call up wheelmax.com and ask for Kevin. Tell him David sent ya. He'll know me.
They gave me a military discount. Free shipping, free balancing and free mounting. I even sent them my tpms sensors and they put them in the new wheels.

Wheel Max kicks ass!!! great cusotmer service.

dmp 06-30-2006 04:44 PM

Federal tires? The only set of federals I had were pure crap. I hope they make better shit; good luck w/ 'em. :)

I like the car - I'd get the polished lip 'removed' somehow...that is to say, those rims, non-glossy, non-polished lip = FANTASTIC. As-is, they are 'good' looking.

Congrats, and thanks for your service to our Nation, brother.

Car looks very clean. I like it.

I too would be curious what you have to say about your tires.

snowboarder4eva 06-30-2006 04:57 PM

Thanks for all your comments guys and gals. I was hoping you all would like it. I'm insanley retarded for this car and I love that there are folks out there just like me :)
