New wheels for Aipex8!!
 
Wheels are JIC Magic J-Force 05's in Glittering Black. Size: 18x8.5 +38 all around with 245/40 Fuzion ZRi tires. TPMS works, fits with no rubbing (obviously many run this size wheel). The finish is really cool looking, just a shade lighter than most hyper-blacks that I've seen. Anyway, on to the pics, let me know what you think.

Looks nice!

I like the new wheels. Clean.

How are the Fuzion tires? The are priced right and I have read the tread design is based on the Bridgeston SO-3.

I don't do any motor-cross, so I can't say anything about performance, but they are great for daily driving... No complaints yet...

Ross_Dawg 05-03-2008 05:44 PM

looks very clean! 19's might have looked better but I can appreciate the stock-ish look

TopGear8 05-03-2008 06:09 PM

Look similar to stock, but alot nicer.

WikkedOne 05-03-2008 06:31 PM

looks damn good man.. ALTHOUGH I don't approve of the illegal parking in the handicapped spot.

chrism 05-03-2008 06:40 PM

WoodsOfGreenRx8 05-03-2008 06:41 PM

23lbs, I have the stockers that weigh 22.5 so they are a half pound heavier. Ah well, small price to pay.

Lol, don't worry. That's where I work and nobody works on the weekend, as you can see, the parking lot was completely deserted.

Those look soo nice and clean! Perfect choice!!!

You car is sitting at the right height and the wheels look great!

Time to paint your hubs though. Our rusted hubs really show when we put on aftermarket wheels and unfortunately takes away from the new wheels.

We need to hook up for a drive. There is a meet being put on by a local car club in Tigard in a few weeks. Someone else with a 8 is probably going to go as well.

I agree about the rust. I've got the kit to paint them black in my garage, just have to get around to doing it. PM me info on the meet, I'd definitely be down for that. Hopefully I'll have the hubs and calipers painted by then!

Look great. I like how the spoke bulges away from the lip on wheels like that. They tend to look really cool in motion, giving off a chopping effect.

If you are more into the matte finish look, the shop I got these from had some of the Aluminite Black in stock too and they would look really good on Titanium gray also. Despite the name, they are actually a matte gray with a silver inner lip. The gray is the same hue as Ti Gray, just a shade darker.

Here's a pic from JIC's website (color is not a very good representation):

Here's a random pic I found on the intrawebs of the Aluminite Black on a Ti Gray 6 (you can see how good the grays look together):
