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 :)

Mazdaspeed RX8 ver2 06-29-2006 11:32 PM

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.

SlowLude 06-29-2006 11:41 PM

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)

lazi 06-30-2006 12:16 PM

loooks clean

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

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.

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 :)

Razz1 06-30-2006 05:29 PM

Never heard of Federal tires.

You should have gone with Kumho's

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 :)

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:

bruce_van 11-14-2006 11:11 PM

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:

pernell10 11-15-2006 03:17 AM

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

FD3SDriver 11-16-2006 02:05 PM

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.
