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.

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 ****. Looks nice, kudos on the clean car!

A few suggestions:
- Clear corners.
- Lower it a bit.

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.

While in the box, fed ex said they were 50 lbs a piece (tires included)

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 ***!!! great cusotmer service.

RX8 and a Truk....
Federal tires? The only set of federals I had were pure crap. I hope they make better ****; 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.
