After much debate, I've finally added strakes to my ride. I am very happy with the result. The color matches the wheels perfectly.

 

nice wheels. strakes, eh.

 

i don't like or dislike strakes. i'm very impressed with your wheels though! how big is the lip in the rear wheel? what size are they? weight?

 

love the wheels...strakes...they're alright

 

Looks great, I'm thinking about adding strakes to mine. Are they difficult to install and did you do it yourself? Are they glued on or do you have to drill???

 

Looks ok. Not a fan of those on the RX-8 (wheels) but I'm not hating.

 

I like

 

I personally love the look of strakes.

 

Yeah, I think strakes look sharp. I love my stainless steels. It's just the right amount of accent.

 

BBS rims are sweet

I de-straked my ride - the strake coolness factor wears off eventually...

 

de-strake?.... yes please.

 

Cool...Makes it look better...

 

I also just received my strakes by mail from Strakes.com... wanna ask the same question: are they easy to install?

 

easy

 

To install the strakes:

1)remove two plastic "rivits" and on mud flap screw from the rear of the front fender
2) pull the plastic liner away from the fender on reach behind the fender vent
3) place pressure on the clips holding the vent onto the fender
4) Place strakes into vent at designated positions and insert special washer and bolt.
5) Remove adhesive tape cover and place vent back into fender opening.
6) tighten bolt into strake while allowing retainer washer to drop behind metal fender supports across vent opening
7) turn and repeat

About 1 hour total time.
I purchased them from www.Rotary13B1.com and painted them to match the wheels. The are as good as the OEM strakes at half the price. I highly recommend.

 

your car would look so much better without those steaks...lol

 

love the wheels, but the strakes reminds me of a PT Cruiser

 

BEFORE:




I can't wait for the lambo door kit and painted calipers .............. XDEE lol

 

Strakes match wheels!

Just like it should be.

 

why would u not like "steaks" i perfer rib eye the best!!! LMAO

 

That might be the cleanest VR I've ever seen. LOVE the wheels, and the strakes are a great addition. Simple, tasteful mods...nicely done.

 

looks nice...thought about blacking out your clear corners?

 

Man, those wheels are tight.

 

when you have a title like this... you just ask for it. lol no strakes.
