New Shoes for my whip
 

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.

couple more

i like it, but i think it needs body graphics. too plain... not JDM enough.

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!

oh wow, that looks really clean!

nice job snowboarder. i like the rims!

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 :(

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

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

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

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

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)

loooks clean

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

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

Looking good! I concur with everyone else; lower.

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.

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.

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 :)

type up more comments cause I'm here checkin :ylsuper:

Never heard of Federal tires.

You should have gone with Kumho's

your car is yummy

I had never heard of them either when made my choice. But the guy I bought from said that he sells tons of them and that they are very similar to the toyo t1R's. After I made my purchase I started seeing Federal ads, federal tires on other cars.
We'll see if they suck or not...I'll keep ya'll updated :)

thanks

damn no one put those rims on a red rx-8... he's in the military or something, he'll beat your a$$

toyo t1-r is what im talkin about! but anyways you got a sexy ride!! kepp up the good work! :rock:

Nice rims, and nice workout on your body too....So you guys don't mess around with him, ok?

beers!!

Good lord I hope you're a hot female. If you're not, then I really don't know how to take that compliment. :cwm27:

What offsets did you get? I'm seriously considering these for my Whitewater Pearl.

The Axis Reverbs are the cleanest looking 5 spokes with a polished lip. Looks killer
on your car. :ylsuper:

nice car man! Love it!!! I would get the wing next though....

Looks good!

I can't freakin remember. But anyway, I got them from wheelmax....ask for Kevin and tell him David from St. Louis sent ya.
Very nice guy. They'll even put your TPMS sensors into the new rims if you mail them to wheelmax down in Miami. I don't remember what the offset was though.

That's a negative ghost rider....no wings or spoilers for my car.
Wings and spoilers are like tattoos and assholes...everyone's got one.

so i'm gonna be different and leave it clean.

thanks homie.
I dig it...


OH
newest update is just last week I put on some clear corners with the stealth bulbs.
yay me!
