Awesome, but you picked the wrong offsets. Get some spacers and you will be set.

whats wrong with the offset? in some pictures it looks almost perfectly flush. not putting your comment down im just asking because im going to get a new pair of wheels and am just trying to collect as much info as possible.

if i were to change something, maybe a slightly smaller offset so the lip comes out just a tad more?

regardless, awesome looking rx8 man. i'd say skip the springs and go straight for the coil overs, might as well do it right the first time. granted you have the funds for that! lol

Flush (rear), 10 spacers will be on front this weekend to make it flush all the way around

I love his wheels and based on the pic I would say they are close in size and offset to the stock wheels. So, some 25mm spacers would get him to what my old setup looked like with 25mm spacers and stock wheels.

Are those 19"? I been looking for something to replace my R3 rims (bored of them), and those would probably look nice on my car.

when I was a high schooler in Ny, it seemed like everyone had a nice ride. I hated them especially because my dad had a supra in the driveway and wouldn't let me take it to school, lol. Nice ride, man.

I also have a white RX-8 but I'm just not a fan of all black wheels on white, the wheels don't pop at all, it looks really bland to me.

I think its you. You have to have some sort of contrast, or else it's too boring.
